A guided tour of Villa Dosi Delfini is a journey back in time, into the Golden Age of Pontremoli art and Tuscan artistic heritage.
With Villa Dosi Delfini begins the Baroque season in Pontremoli, featuring the magnificent trompe l’oeil paintings by Francesco Natali and the elegant figures by Alessandro Gherardini.
“There is a villa belonging to the Marquises Dosi not far from the town, featuring a double-flight staircase with marble statues and balustrades, a hall painted by Francesco Natali and Gherardini; the entire villa is painted by the same Natali, and is surrounded by orchards, gardens and playful water features.”

Villa Dosi Delfini, in the Chiosi countryside of Pontremoli
The visit to Villa Dosi Delfini begins with a walk through the Pontremoli countryside, just a few hundred meters from the historic center.
As you stroll along the picturesque Viale dei Chiosi, the villa suddenly appears before your eyes—imposing and magnificent.
Known as the masterpiece of Pontremoli Baroque, Villa Dosi Delfini tells the story of one family over four centuries. Its importance is historical, social, and personal, reflecting the changing fortunes of its owners. The villa was built in the late 1600s by the Dosi family, wealthy merchants who later became marquises. Decorated by artists like Francesco Natali and Alessandro Gherardini, it regained its splendor at the end of the last century after careful restoration.
Villa Dosi Delfini is open for group guided tours and can be combined with a Pontremoli Barocca tour. All tours are designed by professional guides specializing in Lunigiana tourism. Browse our full tour catalog here.
