Why they chose this property
This property was part of a huge estate - 14,000 hectares purchased by Bernard's grandfather in 1885. including some extraordinary archaeologiical remains: the villa of Augustus Caesar, the triumphal arch of Emperor Constantine. The estate is smaller now and many of these features are now concentrated here at Villa Anson Silj, which in the early 20th century became a meeting place for eminent artists. The present owner, Bernard, as a storyteller and artist has continued the tradition, with contemporary artists.
What makes this property unique
This property, offers the combination of the city and country living: a fairy tale garden suited for reunions, retreats, meetings, weddings and family groups. A project in search of lost time (quality time) to encourage conversation, listening and “doing nothing” profitably: an innovative mix of stories, art, combined playfully as a riddle and quest as evinced in the book written for this garden "The Garden of Lemniscati" a book cultivated like a garden, a garden written like a book" (stoires illustrated in the garden include Fall of the House of Hypnos (prehistory and myth), Etruscan Song of Circular Time (legend and history), the Egg of Imperial Succession, the burial of Tacitus (history), The Donation of Constantine (history), Roland, Charlemagne, 1001 Nights, the Great Lost Treasure of Jerusalem and Treasure Island, Three Languages Grimm (fairy tale), DA DA-NEO-DA-DA (contemporary art).
