Description
Splendid apartment in a small building set among the most beautiful squares of the historic center of the city of Ascoli Piceno, a city that surprises with its architectural power and its Renaissance beauty characterized by a very white travertine stone. The prestigious property enjoys a beautiful view of Piazza Roma, Via del Trivio and Via Panichi Alessandro. Located a few steps from Piazza del Popolo, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy and from Piazza Arringo with its Cathedral. The apartment is located on the first floor of a building that has undergone several changes over time, the layout is ancient, late neoclassical, perhaps from the Napoleonic era but the current appearance dates back to the late eighteenth century. The first floor is accessed via 26 steps, five total apartments distributed over two floors. Composed of an entrance hallway, from here you enter a first room, dedicated to receiving guests, it is the splendid frescoed hall, central to the other rooms and unique for the beauty of its frescoes which show stories of liberated Jerusalem, in particular the illustrations by Piazzetta for the Venetian edition of 1745. Instead, the study or "Sala rossa" is accessed from both the main hall and the hallway, this environment is characterized by the presence of an important bookcase and coordinated wooden boiserie as well as by a refined wallpaper. Eat-in kitchen with resin-coated travertine top and a casket door in wood and screen-printed glass, walls with Venetian plaster. The dining room is very bright thanks to the three large windows and the double exposure with a view of the church of Santa Maria della Carità, a church built to a design by Cola dell'Amatrice. Environment with attention to the smallest detail and illuminated by wall lamps by Artemide. The hallway of the sleeping area is accessed via a wooden door also with silk-screened glass, here we find about eight linear meters of built-in wooden wardrobes custom-made by local craftsmen. Two double bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and both have beautiful floor decorations and wardrobes with antique carved wooden doors. Light wallpaper with small decorations. Two bathrooms, both made of travertine resin. This stone is quarried in the Ascoli Piceno area and has interesting oblique veins, due to the high-altitude quarries which give the stone unique movements. A laundry room with window, also used as a technical room. The ceilings, especially in the dining room, in the study and in the bedrooms, have friezes, decorations, rosettes and frames. These are elegant and refined elements made of plaster, they help to make these typically classic environments precious but where modernization has not been lacking over the years. The rooms are all well enhanced by an average height of about four meters. The floors are in light parquet laid in a herringbone or star pattern, with details and inserts in dark wood. The grit in the main living room and in the bedrooms makes the property unique. These beautiful floors with a multiplicity of decorations and colors were born at the end of the 19th century, a resistant material thanks to the small flakes of marble they contain. In particular, they create immense chessboards, elegant frets and unique geometries. Many of the windows have solid wood portals to support and embellish the curtains. Piped music in all environments. Safe, armored door and alarm. Exposure on three sides, South, East and West.
