Description
The residence on the 6th floor in the historic building of Villa Brasini, known as Castello Brasini, is the one that the architect Armando Brasini had intended for his family, dedicating a room to his wife Augusta, whose name appears in the cartouche placed as decoration in the doors to the main hall.
This apartment of approximately 350 m2 inside and approximately 70 m2 of terrace is the most prestigious of the entire building. It has 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, a prestigious veranda, an area used as a study or library, plus a large deliberately modern kitchen with glass and steel fixtures that contrast with the historic rooms of the residence. To complete everything, a large terrace, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the eternal city, equipped with sink, barbecue and fridge.
To complete the property, two double garages.
The works of art dating back to the 17th century, the tapestries, the Venetian floors made with green marble chips and porphyry with Carrara inserts. Coffered ceilings with gold decorations. A fireplace in sculpted peperino and tempera painted labris and the other in white marble with porphyry inlays has an ancient bas-relief in the center, all acting as a commentary on details of great historical value and uniqueness.
Another example, the door handle that Brasini designed specifically for the entire building is unique and is not found in other architectural contexts. The mold is the exclusive property and cannot be used by others.
The entrance hall, which is accessed by a private lift, or by an exclusive decorated staircase, is higher and larger than all the other rooms on the floor.
Brasini placed a large canvas with a religious subject on the ceiling.
A painted frieze runs all around the four walls, alternating inserts on canvas with religious subjects and decorative paintings with dancing cherubs, scrolls and floral festoons.
From here you enter an area that acts as a hallway to the private part of the apartment,
where Brasini's bedroom was located at the time.
The pictorial decorative band at the top, immediately under the ceiling, presents the alternation of bare paintings with female figures, similar to the pictorial decorations of the Renaissance.
Here there is also the gold and red cartouche with the writing "brasinius".
A small bathroom intended for guests, all decorated in red and black, with a Pompeian atmosphere, yes
opens into this space.
This room is intended for the master bedroom, the floor is in terracotta, the decorations become lighter, the linings and the walls under the window are decorated in green and gold.
The two doors with overdoors, with a floral motif, give access to a bathroom in yellow Siena marble and mosaic, and to a shower also in yellow Siena and Carrara mosaic.
From this room there is access to a tripartite room with three windows that open like a telescope onto the outside where you can enjoy the panorama of the historic city.
The second octagonal hall, whose main feature is the presence of a wonderful black and white floor, the walls of doors and windows have panels decorated in dove grey, powder blue and gold. But the most interesting thing is that from this room there is access to a veranda, which has an amazing view of the city.
The veranda has an entirely windowed wall, with a magnificent view of the city, the walls are decorated with grotesques alternating with pilasters in shades of dove gray and gold.
The left wall has a large niche outlined with a magnificent Pompeian red in the recess
The passage corridor towards the rooms located at the other end of the apartment, with the open kitchen doors allowing a glimpse of the modern and efficient furniture made to measure for the house.
