A historic Italian villa built by the Gucci family is now on the market in Rome, listed for $14.2 million. The estate was constructed in the 1950s by Aldo Gucci, son of the founder of the renowned fashion house.
Located just minutes from Rome's city center, the property spans five acres of landscaped gardens that blend Italian and English architectural styles, according to Luxury Property News. A private gated entrance leads to the villa via a winding driveway lined with tall trees, ensuring privacy.
The ground floor includes an expansive dining room, a recreational room, and a chef’s kitchen with an ornate fireplace. The main home upstairs features eight bedrooms—seven with en-suite bathrooms—and two additional bathrooms. The third floor hosts a penthouse with a rooftop terrace offering views of notable landmarks like the Altar of the Fatherland near the Colosseum.
In addition to the main villa, there is a second residence on the estate ready for redesign. Architects and interior design experts are prepared to help realize any buyer's vision.
Billy Nash from The Keyes Company and Chiara Gennarelli from BH Forbes Global represent the Gucci family in this sale. Nash highlighted its historical significance: “Villa Gucci is not just a home; it’s a legacy. Its walls whisper stories of years of Gucci family gatherings, its private grounds exude timeless elegance that captivates the senses.” He added that for international buyers, Villa Gucci represents "not just a property, but a unique opportunity to own a piece of heritage in one of the world’s most enchanting cities."
