Villa Volpi is a neoclassical seaside villa situated in Sabaudia, Italy.

History

[edit]

The villa was commissioned in 1952 by Countess Nathalie Volpi of Misrata, wife of Count Giuseppe Volpi, founder of the Venice Film Festival, and was designed by architect Tomaso Buzzi [it].[1][2]

The villa has served as the filming location for several films including Divorce Italian Style and Compagni di scuola.[3]

Description

[edit]

The villa, which is located within the boundaries of Circeo National Park, lies on a sand dune facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Featuring a neoclassical and neo-Palladian style, it is composed by a central volume and two side wings. The central part of the villa resembles a classical Roman temple.[2]
