Historic Villa La Chiesa | Villa in Fiesole
3 Bedroom Villa in Fiesole
Welcome to Villa La Chiesa, an ancient village dating back to the thirteenth century, immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the Tuscan countryside.
The Church of San Clemente in Fiesole is mentioned in the "Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio.
The church is mentioned in the third story of the sixth day, which tells the story of Madonna Nonna de' Pulci.
The story is famous for the witty joke of Madonna Nonna who, to defend herself from her husband's accusations, the wife silences him with a phrase considered very witty at the time, demonstrating her pride and quick wit.
The mention and presence of the Church of San Clemente in the Decameron, in this literary context, demonstrates its notoriety in Boccaccio's time and gives further historical, cultural value and relevance to the site, making it not only a place of religious and artistic interest, but also a point of reference in Italian literature.
This novella is one of the examples of the way in which Boccaccio uses real references to give greater realism and depth to his stories.
In the "Decameron", Boccaccio refers to the convent of San Clemente in Fiesole, which was known to his contemporaries.
This mention highlights the importance and notoriety of the church and convent in the historical and cultural context.
Villa La Chiesa, being a thirteenth century villa, has very thick walls, this characteristic means that it is cool in summer and warm in winter thanks to the thermal properties of the materials with which it is built.
This phenomenon is due to thermal inertia, or the ability of a material to absorb and slowly release heat.
In summer, the thick walls absorb external heat very slowly, keeping the interior of the villa cooler than the outside environment. At night, when the outside temperature drops, the walls gradually release the accumulated heat, helping to maintain a comfortable internal temperature.
In winter, however, the thick walls retain the heat generated inside the villa, preventing it from rapidly dispersing towards the outside. This natural thermal insulation helps keep the indoor environment warm even when the outside temperature is low. The use of materials with high heat capacity, such as stone, brick and concrete, in traditional construction is an effective method to improve energy efficiency of homes.
Enjoy the timeless charm and silence of this ancient village with its Church of San Clemente, and let yourself be transported back in time to this magical place full of history.
