Villa Manzoni


In the 1925 some relatives of the famous italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, noticed an area near via Cassia with some ruders of the Roman age. They bought it and charged the architect Brasini to build a villa here: it was a strange choice, because Brasini was famous for being a "cursed architect". This villa is composed of 3 different parts (the villa, the little one of the gardener and the stable) and a big park. A beautiful place except for strange presences. The "bravehearts" who went into the palace of Villa Manzoni tell us about crazy pictures and worryings altars and moreover they sweared to have heard sreams and chains noise from the park (above all) and from the villa. The whole area was bought in 90's from an American foundation, but they immediately lived the area because, during the on-the-spot investigation, Villa Manzoni offered "a particular show" that scared the company. For more informations post me a comment. Dblk
