Palazzo Visocchi in Atina: history, architecture and tours of the most important historic residence in the Comino Valley<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Visocchi Palace in Atina<\/strong>, one of the the most prestigious historic residences in Lazio<\/strong>, as it stands today, took on its current form between the first and second halves of the 18th century. The structure was redesigned by Gaetano Visocchi<\/strong>, a country estate in Terra di Lavoro, by combining and extending existing buildings to create an imposing stately home in the heart of the historic centre of Atina<\/strong>, in the Comino Valley.<\/p>\n

Over the centuries, the Visocchi family held military and administrative posts right up until the unification of Italy; a cadet branch \u2013 the so-called Visocchi outside<\/em> \u2013 he also distinguished himself in the fields of industry, agriculture and politics.<\/p>\n
