Building for Sale

Alatri (Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi), a unique property in the heart of Alatri.

The Immobiliare24 Agency exclusively offers a one-of-a-kind property, the DELEDDA GRAZIA heirs palace... The palace was owned around 1500 by the MAGGI family ( important family of lawyers and notaries of the time) where one of the daughters "Maggi Fernanda" married Deledda's son "Francesco Madesani Deledda", so as to become owner together with his wife... Grazia Deledda of Sardinian origins, was the most important writer Italian woman of 1900, where in 1926 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the only Italian to receive such a coveted prize. Over the years the building passed through various heirs and is still owned by the family today...

The property, although in need of major renovation works, still retains the characteristics of the era with hand-painted frescoes on the walls and ceilings , inside you can still breathe an air that seems to tell its particular story...The same building and its family were also mentioned by the poet and literary critic (senator for life) Mario Luzi, who undertook a journey to the city of Alatri to appreciate its history and investigate the origins of the Maggi Deledda palace...

The palace stands within the historic center of Alatri, in one of the most important districts of the city (rione san simeone) with one side overlooking the valley of frusinate and illuminated by sunlight throughout the day... It boasts a surface area of approximately 1000 m2 arranged on 5 levels, and has a double entrance (via portadini and corso giuseppe garibaldi), where the ground floors - 1 - 2 - 3 they are mainly composed of various rooms, kitchen, oven and reception rooms...While to enhance its spaces we find the last two basement floors dug inside the living rock, where in addition to the fantastic caves there are stone tanks dating back to 1600 - 1700 and rainwater cisterns...Furthermore, inside the first floor there is an internal well for an easy water supply of the time...

The palace is a unique property of its kind, a property which tells the history of our country within the city of Alatri dating back to 500 BC, with monuments, churches and the important walls of the acropolis of Civita (which renamed the country as City of Cyclops, due to the presence of enormous boulders that make up the walls and that only human strength seems unable to build such a work)

The building needs major renovation, but it is a property that due to its position and history lends itself to the construction of a Hotel luxury, or reception facilities with the possibility of being able to exploit the lower floors for the construction of SPAs and salt caves, and create an exclusive, particular and one-of-a-kind context...
