Villa Lidia was originally built in 17th century and have been enlarged in the mid to late eighteenth century, it took its present shape in 1781. The villa remained the property of a noble family when it was later bought by Carolina Murat Bonaparte, the Queen of Naples. From 1840 the house passed to many renown noble famiies of Itay, then later at 1899 it passed to the current owners. History is everywhere here, and two large portraits in the drawing room were painted by Vincenzo Dandini.
