ROME - The 14th century Renaissance villa sits on 42 acres in the hills outside Florence. The main manor house bears the crossed weaponry crest of the Tolomeis, a family of Tuscan aristocrats, and the small chapel is adorned with frescoes of angels at play. All told, there are seven buildings comprising 37,660 square feet.
Villa Tolomei is one of Italy's architectural gems. It is also available for rent. The Italian government is offering a 50-year lease, valued at $102,654 a year, or $5.1 million for the entire term.
