Location
The villa stands on Versilia hills, in north-western Tuscany.
Versilia is a region that owes its name to the river that flows through its territory. Originally, it included only the municipalities of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Seravezza and Stazzema (which form the so-called "historic Versilia"); Camaiore, Massarosa and Viareggio were incorporated only about a century ago.
Although it is renowned mainly for its beaches (a favourite holiday destination for many sports, showbiz and political celebrities), Versilia is also a land of culture: every year, in August, Torre del Lago hosts the Festival Puccini, whereas Villa La Versiliana (where in the early 20th century Gabriele D'Annunzio wrote the celebrated poem "The Rain in the Pinewood") hosts a ballet and theatre festival. In February, floats and masks parade in Viareggio during one of the most famous carnival celebrations in Europe.
