Villa Pozzolini in Bivigliano

The building is named after the last owner, Luigi Pozzolini, who bought it in 1859 at an auction of properties of the Ginori family.

The construction of the villa dates back to the 16th century, possibly to a design by Bernardo Buontalenti; it is surrounded by a wonderful formal garden and by a 12-hectare park, formerly used as a hunting reserve.

Gesualda Malenchini Pozzolini, who was Luigi's wife, funded in her villa a rural school for the children of the peasants. It was the very first example of popular education in unitarian Italy

The villa is currently used as a location for events and weddings.
