Luxury houses for sale in Francofonte

Villa Renna was built in the mid-nineteenth century by Cavaliere Cancellieri in Francofonte, a place where Giovanni Verga often stayed and where he learned of the story that later inspired his Cavalleria rusticana. The residence has returned to its sober elegance after a long restoration; the façade is embellished by a solemn staircase adorned with Noto stone balustrades, and on the façade, we find terracotta medallions as well as precious bas-reliefs by Vaccaro.
