Villa Calciati Crotti

Villa Calciati Crotti in Cremona
Villa Calciati is nestled beside a rustic courtyard at the heart of a bucolic rural estate. Its magnificent frescoed chambers embrace and captivate guests with a sublime ambiance, a rare quality that only a handful of mansions can still evoke today. Each room exudes a subtle, almost familial charm, enveloping visitors in the enchanting atmosphere of a bygone era.

The history
The Villa was meticulously constructed between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. To the north-east of this splendid complex, nobleman Gerolamo Gerenzani commissioned the construction of a chapel in 1709, intended for public worship. Remarkably, to this day, monthly masses continue to be celebrated here by the parish priest of Dosimo, as decreed by the Curia on 22 September 1709.

The Villa’s elegance is immediately apparent, drawing the eye even before one passes through the time-worn wrought-iron gate that grants entry to the enchanting courtyard and gardens before the Villa. Stepping through the entrance door, visitors are greeted by the main hall, which was adorned with magnificent frescoes in the late 18th century and boasts truly majestic proportions. A unique feature that sets this hall apart is revealed when one gazes upward—an exquisite wooden open gallery gracefully encircles the entire perimeter of the room, offering a privileged vantage point for viewing the entire architectural marvel. Ascending to this ‘loggia’ is a must, as it affords a unique perspective to appreciate the harmonious original terracotta flooring of the era.
