PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Located in the central square of the Civita Falconara district, one of Arpino’s oldest historical neighborhoods, Palazzo Fiona is a masterpiece of elegance and history. With origins dating back to the 15th century, the palace was home to prominent figures from the nearby church of Santa Maria di Civita for centuries, imbuing the residence with a unique spiritual and historical depth. Recently acquired by an Australian designer, Palazzo Fiona has undergone a sophisticated renovation, breathing new life into the property. Courtyard The property opens onto an internal courtyard with original cobblestone paving dating back to the 17th-18th centuries. The entrance is enhanced by an arch featuring a fresco of the district’s emblem—a falcon, symbolizing strength and protection—welcoming those who enter. Behind it, a religious fresco with delicate tones tells sacred stories, infusing the space with an aura of spirituality. The courtyard is protected by an ancient stone and terracotta staircase, accessible through an original 19th-century gate. The staircase, dominated by a lion statue bearing the family crest, leads to the noble floor of the palace. Noble Floor and Panoramic Terrace On the noble floor, five reception rooms alternate in a display of frescoes, paintings, antique wallpapers, and original flooring, creating a unique atmosphere perfect for private events or elegant ceremonies. The large dining room, about 40 square meters with nearly 5-meter-high ceilings, offers the ideal space for memorable dinners. From here, you access the study, with original terracotta flooring, and the two master bedrooms, rooms dominated by high coffered ceilings and precious chandeliers. The family chapel further enriches the residence, hinting at the deep historical connection of the palace to spirituality. From the noble floor, a staircase leads to the panoramic terrace, one of the most picturesque spots in the palace. From here, one can enjoy an extraordinary view of the valley and the dome of Santa Maria di Civita, which stands just a few meters away. Second Floor Apartment, Garage, and Cellars In addition to the main residence, the palace offers a separate, generously sized apartment in need of some improvements, with bright salons, bedrooms, and a kitchen—ideal for hosting guests privately or as a second residence. The property also includes a spacious garage, capable of housing up to five vehicles, along with several cellars and storage rooms, adding functionality to the property without compromising its elegance. Although the palace has been partially renovated, the electrical, heating, and plumbing systems require updating. However, the structure is in excellent condition, with a newly restored roof and overall safety measures in place, ensuring peace of mind.
