About the estate
The Rosselmini villa was born as a summer home of the ancient Pisan family of Conti Rosselmini. The villa's foundations date back to the 1500s. The last descendant of the Rosselmini family was Countess Laura who in 1921 married the Marquis Giuseppe Mazzarosa Devincenzi and moved to live in the Mazzarosa palace in Lucca. In order not to leave the villa abandoned, the Marquess Laura, who was very pious, religious and above all very generous, let it to the nuns who soon transformed the villa into a orphanage.
The M.se Pietro, who inherited the villa after the death of M.sa Laura in 1964, donated the Villa (in the meantime restored) to his son Antonio Mazzarosa born in 1956, and who is still the owner today. The nuns in the meantime were less numerous but much older and due also to the falling number of abandoned children, decided to close the orphanage and to give back the villa to the owners. We enjoyed to plant magnolias, holm oaks, mimosas for every child born. Plants that now have the age of my children: 21, 20 and 16 years. Now the garden grows with us, according to our needs and just like as it has something ancient, traditional, elegant I hope , and natural ... but nothing pretentious.
Our thanks go to our grandmother Laura for having left us her home. I like to think that grandmother Laura from heaven is pleased with our commitment to keep her home, of which we are jealous guardians and lucky inhabitants.
