Panoramic residence with a view The legendary villa on Lake Como is for sale. It was once the home of Giulio Beccaria, the son of the famous Cesare Beccaria, author of the treatise 'On Crimes and Punishments.' The villa has always been a favorite vacation spot for writers and cultural figures. The literary salon 'Accademia dei Pedanti' was also founded here, where writers, critics and artists gathered. The three-story building of the estate with openings on the facade is almost invisible from the street, but looks very majestic from the lake. Inside the villa there are 7 rooms and 5 bathrooms, and the interiors are decorated with frescoes. On the territory there is a landing stage, a caretaker's house located by a stream with an old Roman bridge, and a pier. The lake offers a view of the villa's garden, where 12 plane trees rise, planted by order of the architect Giuseppe Balzaretti during the reconstruction in the 19th century. Reference: 9616
