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.
The Villa
As a country residence of the Buonaccorsi family, the 18th century villa in Potenza Picena met the needs of a comfortable life. A little baroque church, dedicated to Saint Philip Neri, belongs to the complex. The current appearance was developed around a quadrangular edifice with a courtyard, built during the second half of the 16th century, as proven by the remains of a fortified site. The villa is surrounded by walls: on the right, there’s the main entrance and a little fortification where once there was a cannon (there still are some iron balls in the surrounding vineyards). The building plan is irregular with several units which enclose a courtyard with a portico. The 18th century baroque garden was probably designed by the architect Andrea Vici. The last renovations of the garden can be dated back to the first decades of the 20th century, until the death of the Count Carlo Buonaccorsi in the 1950s and the Countess Giuseppina Matteucci Buonaccorsi in the 1970s. Thanks to the following owners’ care, the garden underwent a daily maintenance which preserved it in great conditions until today. The villa stands on a small hill with a landscape view of green hills and valleys. The exposure is intentionally protected from the coldest winds, in order to allow the growth of ornamental plants and, above all, citrus fruit in soil or pots. Villa Buonaccorsi has been also used as a venue for weddings, meetings or company dinners.
