Property description
Mansions for Sale in Italy: Noble Floor of Royal Palace in Abruzzi
In the heart of the historic center of L'Aquila, capital of Abruzzi Region, exceptional noble apartment for sale.
Palazzo Pica Alfieri is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, considered the main historic residence in central Italy. It still retains all the monumental design of the project of the great Roman architect Carlo Fontana, who restructured it in its present form in the eighteenth century.
Perfectly centered in the heart of the city, it occupies the north side of Piazza Santa Margherita. Formerly Royal Palace and chosen by sovereigns, princes and high ecclesiastical dignitaries, the original structure dates back to the fifteenth century.
Immaculately restored thanks to an unprecedented collaboration of craftsmanship, materiality and engineering, it was returned to the city in all its grandeur in 2018.
The imposing façade is astonishing, with the magnificent double ashlar portal, emphasized by the four Doric columns that support the balcony, unique among the historic buildings of the city.
The Grand Staircase, due to its vastness, occupies the entire west side of the building and reminds the great Roman palaces, Palazzo Farnese first.
Spectacular, one-of-a-kind residence, it occupies almost the entire noble floor of the building and can be reached also through the new generation elevator that lands directly at the floor.
An apartment of monumental proportion and unparalleled luxury, composed by a harmonious succession of richly adorned and frescoed halls.
A real ceremonial path which, starting from the facade balcony, reaches the the studio's balcony window, overlooking the private courtyard. Thus, the halls that take their name from the predominant color of the precious coverings, follow one another in an incomparable aura of rarity and splendour.
The most sought-after part of the noble floor is certainly the sumptuous and beautiful wedding bedroom, preceded by the large reception hall with the majestic fastigiated fireplace.
But it is in the large and spacious "Marchesa Donna Evelina" gallery that the historical importance of this property is fully perceived. Unique in all of central Italy, it is an immense double-volume space, almost 11 meters high. Illuminated by 13 windows on two sides, occupies half of the facade and still today is the exclusive meeting place of the nobility from all over Europe.
Alongside the boundless rooms dedicated to representation, there are also all those areas necessary for the functions of the building, to which a staircase and a private entrance are also dedicated.
Also included is an apartment with access to the loggia, the private chapel with the second apartment and the third independent apartment on three levels with a panoramic balcony.
There is also a huge kitchen and another large utility room.
Elective headquarter for foundations, cultural institutes and international schools, but also perfect and current as a private residence, the property also includes its precious furnishings. Epi/E (164 Kwh/M2/Year)
