Villa il Pavone

The Villa il Pavone is a neo-Renaissance style suburban palace located outside of the city of Siena, a region of Tuscany, Italy.

In 1825, Mario Bianchi Bandinelli commissioned the Sienese architect Agostino Fantastici to refurbish the existing Palazzo del Pavone, attributed to Francesco di Giorgio, into a villa with gardens.

The entry gate has two pillars topped by sphinxes, sculpted by Luigi Magi.

The small square villa building is accessed by a portico with Tuscan-style columns.

The freer-style Romantic garden is bordered by woods to the west and is crossed by winding paths.
