Villa Ginori is located in Versilia and is within the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Natural Park in a lagoon area on the edge of Lake Massaciuccoli.
In 1887, Marquis Carlo Benedetto Ginori Lisci, owner of the famous Florentine ceramics of the same name, bought the villa and carried out a radical renovation of the buildings and surrounding garden. Since then, the villa has always remained in the family's ownership.
The architectural style chosen was Tuscan-Neo-Gothic.
The interior of the main villa has been enriched by the beautiful art-nouveau frescoes by Francesco Fanelli, a painter of Giovanni Fattori's circle.
The villa has always been an important cultural point in the entire Versilia area and frequented by great artists including Giacomo Puccini.
Giacomo Puccini was a frequent visitor to the villa and a great friend of Marchese Ginori, so much so that he dedicated one of his most famous operas to him: La Bohème.
