Villa medicea, Poggio a Caiano, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The Villa Medici at Poggio a Caiano, also called Amber, is one of the most famous Medici villas and is located in the municipality of Poggio a Caiano (PO). Today it is state-owned and houses a museum. The villa is perhaps the best example of architecture commissioned by Lorenzo the Magnificent, in this case, Giuliano da Sangallo to 1480. No coincidence that it is a private building, in which there are elements that made then as a model for future development of the typology of villas: the interpenetration between interior and exterior through filters such as lodges, symmetrical distribution of environments around a central hall, a dominant position in the landscape, recovery aware of classic architectural elements. In 1919 the Directors of the Royal House gave Villa the Italian State. The farm of Poggio a Caiano - Table and stables, as the Villa were a unitary complex of great architectural value, were instead sold , still in the early post- Combatants and Veterans National Opera and subsequently sold to private individuals. The furniture and wallpaper on the second floor were hopelessly lost in this period. During the Second World War the villa was used as a place of refuge from the bombing to important works of art from all over Tuscany, like the statues of Michelangelo's New Sacristy or Quattro Mori Livorno , as well as during the passage of the front , as shelter for the people who took refuge in the spacious basement . In 1984 it became a National Museum has since started an important series of restorations , where, thanks to a precious inventory dated 1911, he tried to reconstruct as much as possible the internal aspect of the villa at the time , recovering all objects, furniture and works of art scattered in various museums and government deposits . In the villa and gardens were acclimatized scenes of the film Darling , 1965 directed by John Schlesinger . The work of researchers and restorers is now focused on the recovery to make available to the public other rooms of the villa. Among these are the Cucinone century and the Criptoportico underground that connects it to the villa. This environment is one of the best preserved examples of architecture aimed at the domestic needs of a court: it includes various rooms for the use of laundry facilities and a garden with medicinal herbs kitchens. Together with Tennis Court, once the playing field, these rooms could be used for the display of the eighteenth century rides. The Villa Medici at Poggio a Caiano is the first example of Renaissance architecture that blends the lesson of the classics with characteristic elements of elegant architectural style and other innovative features. Clearly the lesson of Alberti, from the choice of the place where the Villa is located, until you reach the symmetry and harmony of proportions. The introduction of a basis Villae is taken instead from classic models such as the Temple of Jupiter in Terracina Anxur. The exterior of the Villa has remained fairly intact the original Renaissance project Sangallo , except for the two twin staircases that lead to the terrace, built in the early 1800s to replace the original ones straight and perpendicular to the body of the villa , clearly visible in the Just Utens famous bezel . To design them , in 1807 , was Pasquale Poccianti who created an external staircase with convenient transit carriages covered, made in the following years by Joseph Cacialli . The roof has been changed in 1575 when Alfonso Parigi replaced the eaves , where there was a walkway with a railing and a crown with chimneys, with an overhang of the roof more prominent , resulting in an elevation of the worksheet that also alters significantly the proportions of initial design of Sangallo.

***** VILLA MEDICEA di Poggio a Caiano - esterni parco e interni (UNESCO)
La Villa medicea di Poggio a Caiano, chiamata anche Ambra, è una delle ville medicee più famose e si trova nel comune di Poggio a Caiano (PO). Oggi è di proprietà statale e ospita due nuclei museali: uno degli appartamenti storici (piano terra e primo piano) e il Museo della natura morta (secondo piano).
La villa è forse il migliore esempio di architettura commissionata da Lorenzo il Magnifico, in questo caso a Giuliano da Sangallo verso il 1480. Non a caso si tratta di un edificio privato, in cui sono presenti elementi che fecero poi da modello per gli sviluppi futuri della tipologia delle ville: compenetrazione tra interno ed esterno mediante filtri come le logge, distribuzione simmetrica degli ambienti attorno a una salone centrale (spazio centrifugo), posizione dominante nel paesaggio, recupero consapevole di elementi architettonici classici (come la volta a botte e il frontone di tempio ionico in facciata).
Medici Villa of Poggio a Caiano
The Medici Villa of Poggio a Caiano, which sits at the foot of the hilly area of Montalbano, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013. Built by Lorenzo the Magnificent, this villa is a spectacular reflection of humanistic trends in architecture inspired by classical antiquity.
Poggio a Caiano - Piccola Grande Italia
Adagiato alle pendici delle dolci colline pratesi, a 15 km da Firenze e in posizione baricentrica tra Prato e Pistoia, il comune di Poggio a Caiano è lambito dal rapido corso del fiume Ombrone.
Posto all'interno di un contesto paesaggistico fortemente antropizzato, il piccolo comune custodisce ancora gelosamente importanti aree verdi, costellate di antiche dimore sorte alle pendici del sistema collinare del Montalbano.

LA VILLA MEDICEA DI POGGIO A CAIANO 18/04/2018 Sala Mostre e Convegni Gangemi Editore
La villa medicea di Poggio a Caiano fu l'oggetto d'amore dei suoi proprietari, primo fra tutti il suo fondatore, Lorenzo il Magnifico, che inventò il mito della driade Ambra che, per fuggire l'Ombrone, Diana trasformò nell'altura rocciosa su cui si erse la villa. Nella vivacità letteraria della sua corte, Poliziano rispose con una propria variante, l'Ambra, in cui la ninfa era figlia dell'Ombrone. Fu da' primi anni questa ninfa amata/ dal suo Läur gentile, pastore alpino,/ d'un casto amore, affermava il suo Signore; Ambra, mei Laurentis amor, ribadiva il poeta. Il libro offre un'ampia panoramica attraverso i secoli di questa splendida villa medicea, affrontando anche argomenti poco o per nulla trattati, come le decorazioni del soffitto di due sale del secondo piano mai studiate o l'analisi dei legami poco noti, ma all'epoca stretti, tra l'Atene degli Acciaiuoli e la Firenze dei Medici. Dei dipinti eseguiti nel '600 da Gabbiani e nell' '800 da Catani, è stata proposta l'identificazione di varie figure mai analizzate e dei temi lí raffigurati, rivelandone l'alta originalità e gli stretti rapporti con opere e cerimonie antiche. È stato poi dato rilievo alle committenze dei Medici e di Elisa Baciocchi, con la pubblicazione d'inediti documenti d'archivio.

The Medici villa
In 1473 a ruined fortified house at Poggio a Caiano, called the Ambra, and land and a mill owned by Giovanni Rucellai, were bought by Lorenzo de' Medici. First, agricultural improvements were carried out, then in 1485 work started on the Medici Villa del Poggio, the Villa on the Hill, to designs by Giuliano da Sangallo commissioned by Lorenzo. Prior to the building of this villa large country dwellings were defensive, fortified and with rooms looking into a central courtyard. Built on a quadrangular base around a large central hall with rooms having windows overlooking the surrounding countryside, the Villa del Poggio was revolutionary. At Lorenzo's death in 1492 the villa remained largely unfinished, work being resumed when Lorenzo's youngest son, Giovanni became pope as Leo X. The central hall is named after this first Medici pope.[1]
In the following century the villa was used by the Medici Grand Dukes of Tuscany; in 1587 Francis, the second Grand Duke, and Bianca Capello died at there within a day of one another after short illnesses, raising the still unsolved question of their poisoning by Francis's brother Ferdinand, who became the third Grand Duke.[2]
