The Villa 'dei Chiosi' was built at the end of the 18th century by will of the brothers Carlo and Francesco Dosi, wealthy businessmen of the Pontremoli Granducale. The idea and the project of the Villa are linked precisely to the figure of Carlo Dosi, a man of vast culture passionate about art, architecture and gardening, who chose some of the greatest artists for the decoration of his 'home'; in view of the weather. The history of Villa Dosi is also the story of a family that from its construction until today remained always linked to this place, going through periods of splendor and periods of abandonment, up to the long and demanding restoration that allows us today to admire it in all its splendor. Completely abandoned during the years of the French revolution and the Napoleonic period, it was gradually recovered starting from 1814 and still today is restoration object. Imagined as a place of worldly delights and events according to the taste of the Baroque era, the villa best represents the spirit of its time, through a surprising intertwining of nature, architecture, artistic decoration, refined furnishings. At the entrance of the Villa the two monumental cedars of Lebanon, planted way back in 1863, which give the name to the Grand Ball, await visitors welcoming them with an imposing shady embrace.
