Villa d'Arte Toscana
A historic Art Nouveau palazzo, transformed into a haven for creatives, art lovers, and the community.
In the heart of Tuscany's serene Garfagnana region stands a 1922 palazzo with a long history of hospitality. For decades, it was the social and business hub of the village of Nicciano, functioning as a salumeria, a bar, a restaurant, and a guesthouse. After years of vacancy, artists Ania Dzieżewska and Volker Scheurer fell in love with its story and saw a new vision for its future. They have since transformed it into Villa d'Arte Toscana, a space where art is lived and created.
