The Decay Archive 2011 - 2025

Description

Hidden amidst the Tuscan hills lies this masterpiece of Orientalism, created in the 19th century by the visionary Marquis Ferdinando Panciatichi Ximenes d’Aragona. Each of the 365 rooms is unique. Most famous is the "Peacock Room" with its hypnotic colors. After decades as a "lost place" abandoned to decay since the 1990s, a long-awaited turning point finally came in 2025: the Moretti family acquired the estate to restore this architectural jewel to its former glory.
