The Villa<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The Villa was built around the mid-19th century by Prof. Luigi Paolotti<\/strong>, Baron of a noble Perugian family related to the Barberini Princes of Rome, Pope Pius IX and Napoleon III.<\/p>\n

The mansion was born as a summer country residence<\/strong> as the family owned several landed estates located in the town of Bettona<\/strong>, a small town of Etruscan origin<\/strong> situated among green hills of olive groves and woods just a few kilometers from Perugia and Assisi.<\/p>\n

After a period of relative neglect, the heirs recently undertook a complete renovation<\/strong> according to the designs and records of their ancestors, taking special care to restore the ancient frescoes that decorate the interior rooms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bettona – Medieval village rich in history<\/h5>\n

Bettona, an ancient Etruscan center<\/strong> was controlled by Perugia until 90 B.C., when it acquired Roman citizenship. In 1352 it was conquered and destroyed by Perugia; rebuilt in 1367 by Cardinal Albornoz, it passed to the Papal States until 1860.<\/p>\n

The Museum of the City of Bettona<\/strong>, in Piazza Cavour, occupies the palazzo del Podest\u00e0 (1371) and part of the Biancalana residence. It exhibits works by Perugino<\/strong>, Della Robbia, Alunno, Tiberio di Assisi, and Dono Doni, including masterpieces such as St. Anthony and Our Lady of Mercy.<\/p>\n
