Description
Villa Chiara is an ancient country residence located in the hamlet of S. Giustina di Rimini, dedicated to Chiara Marcosanti from the noble family of Poggio Berni (RN). The villa has ancient origins and was built in the area that was once known as the "Tomba di Variano" where the term "Tomba" indicates a fortification in which all the people of the surrounding area (with crops and livestock) took refuge when brigands or wars passed by. It has a characteristic 'U' shape enclosing a pleasant courtyard and a large garden. In the years before the war, it was extended with the addition of a large warehouse and service rooms. The property enjoys the prestige of an ancient nobleman's house with the presence of 14 rooms in addition to the cellars and the stable where the original beams and division of space are still preserved. There is a rare chapel/oratory with pleasant frescoes and a gallery from which the family attended religious services. The total restoration of the villa will bring back the splendour of the noble property from which, in 10 minutes, you can reach Rimini and Santarcangelo di Romagna.
The property is located in the Rimini countryside and in the vicinity of Santarcangelo di Romagna. The motorway exit of Rimini Nord and the New Fair of Rimini are 10 minutes away. The sea, which is about 2 km away, is easily accessible via country roads, also by bicycle. A quiet area, immersed in the well-kept agricultural area, you will find in the hamlet of S. Giustina every useful service for your daily needs. The area has ancient origins, a Roman settlement where the Via Emilia passed (and still passes today), a road built between 189 and 187 B.C. by Consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (probably on an already existing route) during his first consulate to directly connect Rimini and Piacenza with a 262 km route. The construction of a military road connecting Rome to Fano and Rimini to allow the army quick access to the regio VIII Aemilia was completed as early as 220 BC (via Flaminia). Therefore, the Via Aemilia began at the end point of the Via Flaminia, a consular road that started in Rome and ended in Rimini, and was completed in 187 BC after only two years. To avoid flooding, the road was raised with an artificial surface, the same one on which the modern road still passes today.
