Built by Mario Lemetti, godson of the poet Giovanni Pascoli, the house is steeped in the memory of the famous man of letters who was a regular visitor to the nearby “Osteria del Platano”, owned by Luigi Lemetti. Here, the poet loved to savor the Serchio trout and a good glass of wine in the company of his host friend. When Mario was born, Pascoli offered to be his godfather, symbolically making him part of his family. This deep bond is documented in the letters that the poet sent to Luigi's wife, Maria, in which there was never a lack of affectionate words for his godson. Inside the villa, some period photographs visually tell the story of this friendship: Maria Pascoli next to little Mario, and Luigi Lemetti portrayed with the poet, who upon his death dedicated an epitaph to him engraved on the tombstone that is still visible today. Living between Poetry and Nature Located in the heart of the Media Valle del Serchio, near the city of Barga, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and the chosen home of Giovanni Pascoli, this villa is much more than a simple home: it is a place of the soul, where time has stopped to tell a story of beauty, poetry and deep family ties. Ideal as a main residence, holiday home, or charming residence, this property represents a unique opportunity for those seeking an oasis of tranquility with an authentic soul, immersed in the eternal charm of Tuscany.
