Villa Bonaparte, Via Girolamo Bonaparte, 63822 Porto San Giorgio FM, Italy. The Villa, in neoclassical style, has a facade adorned with bas-reliefs, stairs and balconies in travertine from Ascoli, and is surrounded by a large park, which in front forms a sort of terrace, while at the back it opens into a beautiful garden. Even the frescoes, which decorate walls and ceilings, are of neoclassical taste and create an atmosphere of other times, graceful and refined, in which it is very pleasant to dive. The villa became both a worldly place where the Fermo aristocracy participated in parties and banquets, both a notable cultural landmark and a center of political activity. It was precisely because of the latter, in fact, that the permanence of the Bonaparte family in Porto San Giorgio was short-lived, thus breaking the dream of all the local nobles, who by now felt part of a real court, with his ceremonials, his receptions, the literary salons and the political meetings of many "Bonapartists", partisans opposed both to the government of the pope and to that of the Bourbons. The only royal palace in our region, this sumptuous Villa remains a remarkable example of nineteenth-century art and architecture and embodies a piece of history of our country, a story in which even our territory and its inhabitants played an active and decisive role.
