Built on a pre-existing 15th-century mansion owned by the Del Carretto family, the villa was profoundly transformed in the second half of the 18th century by Baron Del Testa, who wanted to build a country residence for hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interventions also included the construction of new buildings such as the <strong>rectory<\/strong>, the <strong>oratory<\/strong>, the <strong>tavern<\/strong>, the <strong>gazebo<\/strong> and the <strong>kaffeehaus<\/strong>. It is therefore a real <strong>complex<\/strong> that curiously has neither a fence nor a gate, unlike the other villas in the area.\r\nThe <strong>villa<\/strong>, which is accessed by an avenue lined with cypress trees, has two square towers on its sides. The <strong>fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> is articulated on three levels marked by simple cornices that together with the other elements draw an architectural layout typical of Renaissance Florence. The imposing <strong>double-ramp staircase<\/strong> at the side of the main entrance, on the other hand, is reminiscent of Baroque-style stately buildings.\r\nThe<strong> interior<\/strong> has vaulted ceilings, the <strong>central hall<\/strong> displays a wonderful pictorial decoration by Tempesti. In the park is a small pavilion with a basin and a marble Venus that was wrongly attributed to Michelangelo.\r\nThe <strong>oratory<\/strong> of 1775, dedicated to Santa Maria and San Ranieri (patron saint of Pisa), has three small naves with stuccoes and paintings also by Tempesti, while the trompe l&#8217;oeil decorations are by Tarocchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The villa is today private property and cannot be visited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49542,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[],"filter-who":[],"filter-time":[],"class_list":["post-52401","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":49540,"post_title":"Crespina | Villa Belvedere","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/crespina-villa-belvedere\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attrazione"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52401"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52401"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
