Oil mills, villas and historic buildings

The Casa il Molino complex is recorded as “il Molino” on the 1818 cadastral map and was in fact an oil mill. At Casa vocabolo Molino, the remains of an older building dating from the mid-19th century have been preserved; it was used as a summer house and oil mill. In the 17th century, the historic oil-mill complex belonged to the Gabuccini family.

In the immediate vicinity of Fenile, Villa Pavani, now Villa Giuliani, is documented in the 1778 cadastre. A building located below the villa belonged to it and is labelled “Giardino” on the 1818 map. Its façade consists of red brick with corner pilasters; it also has two ground-floor arches, four framed windows, and a gabled roof with a pediment and rose window.

Churches with distinctive details

The Church of Sant’Anna has a hexagonal floor plan. Its façade is made of brick and sandstone and is articulated by four pilasters crowned by a pediment; it also has a sandstone portal. The church and Villa Sant’Anna can be reached via a road that branches off at the beginning of the road between Fenile Vecchio and Roncosambaccio.
