Mrs. Emenia Tini together with her husband Giuseppe Pasqui, in the second half of the 1800s, personally choose the architect who followed the Villa Pasqui construction project located in Umbria, on the hillside of Belvedere, overlooking the Valtiberina (Valle del Fiume Tevere), in Città di Castello, known Renaissance town known as Castrum Felicitatis later became Castrum Tiberinum.
The designer developed the property faithfully reflecting the aesthetic awards of the Florentine style Liberty, recognizable not only by the friezes of the façade and external details, but also by the perfect symmetry of the interior architectural elements. More than 20 years were used for the implementation of the project and used valuable materials (marble, travertine from the Rapolano quarries and bricks from the first furnaces that developed in the place). Thus, in 1914, marks the date of the Pasqui family’s establishment to the villa that was born as a summer residence; Since in winter the family resided in Florence in the early 1900s and then in Rome since the Second World War.
The home has crossed the two world conflicts, with obvious signs of grenade shrouds in the backside, which partly destroyed even one of the two wells located in the square in front of the entrance; Also through a stained-glass window of the villa, the splinters went inside as well, leaving signs in the large marble staircase. These signs are still witnessed by the great world conflict, along with bombs and helmets left by soldiers as the villa became a “German military command.” The Pasqui family was then displaced in neighboring Fraccano and the villa became an adjoining stronghold, but the Germans fascinated by this place demonstrated maximum respect for it by not looting it or plundering it in any way.
