The villa was commissioned in 1952 by Countess Nathalie Volpi of Misrata, wife of Count Giuseppe Volpi, founder of the Venice Film Festival, and was designed by architect Tomaso Buzzi.[1][2]
The villa has served as the filming location for several films including Divorce Italian Style and Compagni di scuola.[3]
