Villa Buonaccorsi is an 18th century villa, enlarged from a 16th century building, located on the top of a hill (approximately 110 metres above the sea level) between Potenza Picena and its district, Porto Potenza Picena, overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

History

The main body of the villa, dating back to the 16th century, was enlarged by the will of the count Raimondo Buonaccorsi around the 18th century. The villa underwent its most significant restoration in 1745-1750 at the initiative of Pietro Bernasconi, close co-worker to Luigi Vanvitelli, a prominent Italian architect and painter. Its wide halls are decorated by Benedetto Biancolini and make the villa well known also abroad together with its precious Italian-style garden. The first notices of the Buonaccorsi family in the Marche region, in Macerata and Potenza Picena, date back to the 13th century and they’re considered to be – without certainty – a branch of the homonymous Florence family.
