An exclusive first floor apartment in the heart of the city. Cortona where history and culture come together and give life to important events such as fairs, exhibitions and festivals, where life flows with social rhythms and where the network of connections respects the authenticity of each individual.
A Renaissance palace where Luca Signorelli and Pietro Berrettini contributed in Baroque style decorations, commissioned by an important local family who had contacts with the Florentine nobility. Proof of this are the frescoes in the room with the canopy where the female figure is very similar to one represented in the Pitti Palace in Florence. The apartment is on a single floor of approx. 646 square meters and also has the possibility to create a space for staff. Large living rooms with majestic stone fireplaces, one of which made by Pietro da Cortona, are located in the central area. The 7 bedrooms, 4 with en-suite bathrooms are found on the perimeters of the apartment. The spaces are large and bright, but what is striking is the attention and dedication used in the restoration: the original floors were dismantled for the new systems and each piece was numbered and repositioned in its place, on the walls under layers of plaster the original plaster has been recovered, the bathrooms are all in marble making the environment sophisticated and elegant, many of the ceilings are coffered or with wooden beams and some are decorated. Every corner tells a story of the past and above all some rooms offer an enchanting view of Piazza Luca Signorelli which is one of the jewels of this city of art. A unique object for true lovers of beauty, history and art, for those who love to get lost in detail and for those who want the convenience of the historic center literally a stone's throw away. Ideal for living all year round but also perfect for a period residence.
