Polls and pools of heat, hot springs, hell hounds fall again. Jokes to tell: pigs do fly, jokes to share. Day away from beach, hot tub in the hills, when in Rome. Wet heat to share, tubs in hills, hot springs and time with the boys. Public tubs, hike in hills, just pictures to be taken. Baths in the hot springs, dicks and dogs, mine my daddy, my friends. Trips to Rome, hot tubs in hills, hot times.
Police on the water, coast guards, police on the beaches. Tips of tales, history created, time to turn on lights. Frogs and fish fry, fires on the beach, waters hot. Soups with fish. Magic in black pots. 420 growers burn for butter. Gifts to dead and dying, help for displace veterans, black women.
Music to dance to, music to tell pieces of the stories, fairy tales of life to create, Moses and Jesus, men on the same time, white for the masses around the world, another fairy tale to control the sheep. Fairy tales in the bible, happy life after you expire if you follow the rules, or burn in hell, love and devotion with a twist, acceptable to frogs around the globe. Jokers to the right and clowns to the left, stuck in the middle with better stories to get older and wiser as a giant. Gifts to share, the joys and pains in learning the first time, English is fine for me.
Pinocchio’s Villa
The Gardener of this luxurious villa was also the father of Carlo Lorenzini, the author of Pinocchio. The writer decided to set the masterpiece that made him famous, in this magnificent property near Lucca built in the 1600s, and that is why the Villa bears the name Villa Pinocchio.
Price: Over 10 million euros, full listing here.
Historic Castle complete with slaughter house and private family graveyard.
The description lists such amenities as: “stables, the slaughter house, large cellars, the medieval chapel dedicated and the private family graveyard”. Oh and there’s also a drawbridge. Awesome.
It looks like the property has been used as a venue for events by the previous owners.
Let’s hope to get a few more butts in those seats in the near future.
Price: Over 10 million euros. Full listing here.
Owner wanted for Ligura Castle with a garden in need of a good trim
Built in 1911, in Coppedè style, as was fashionable during that period, and features a total floor surface of 800 m2 over six floors for a total of 26 rooms and halls.
This cave entryway is pretty fantastic too.
The price is 2.5 to 5 million euros, full listing here.
Looking through these properties for sale gives me a mixed feeling of wonderment and sadness. Amazed by these beautiful and vast estates with their elliptical staircases, medieval frescoes, and sweeping views over vineyards, but saddened by the ghostly absence of the families and communities that once inhabited them. You can almost hear the chatter of party guests on a warm summer’s evening, the echoes of laughing children that knew every hiding place, the sprinkling of water being hosed over the flower beds by a proud gardener whose entire family had been employed here for generations.
See for yourself just how many big empty Italian castles there are for sale on Lionard.com
