Villa Michaela, Lucca

Geschichte

Villa Michaela, previously Villa Nottolini, is situated at the foot of the Zano mountain, only a short distance from the “pieve” of Vorno. The original building dates back to the 15th century, however, the actual aspect of the Villa is that of the early 1800’s when it was purchased by the Nottolini family. 

The chapel dates back to the 13th century. At the beginning of the 18th century it passed on to the Nottolini family, who restored the house. The chapel has a fine neo-classic façade, with an arch on the upper part of the building portraying floral motives and the Annunciation. You arrive at the chapel by a driveway built in 1910 after the old road of Valle (that used to pass in front of the “Annunziata”) was made private by the Capannori commune.
