The village of Villa a Sesta, located along Provincial Road 484 to Brolio, is characterised by its manor house which, together with the Church of Santa Maria, forms the historical backbone of the centre. The development of agricultural activity, around which the economy of the area has revolved and still revolves, has influenced the use of the villa, with part of its premises, the ground floor, being used as a cellar. Today, with the implementation of the improvement plan that has allowed for the recovery of the disused quarry area known as San Carlo, it has been possible to build a suitable structure dedicated to wine production, allowing for the creation of a suitable structure dedicated to wine production. Today, with the implementation of the improvement plan that has allowed for the restoration of the disused quarry area known as San Carlo, it has become possible to create a suitable structure dedicated to wine production, freeing up the rooms of the villa and returning them to residential use. The restoration of these rooms consists partly of simply clearing the rooms of specialised processing and storage equipment (barrels, barriques, etc.) and partly of making minor modifications to the openings to improve their usability and air and light conditions. The openings in the design are located at the rear of the villa, in the “understairs” area of the ramps leading to the first floor: this façade of the building is probably the result of a relatively recent addition to the main body of the villa, which has its main entrance on Piazza del Popolo. It is believed that the staircase at the rear, also in monumental form, was added later in order to restore centrality and importance to this part of the building overlooking the garden. The openings that would be created follow the outline of the staircase’s supporting structure, with symmetrical and asymmetrical arches, albeit with reduced proportions. This is essentially to restore ventilation and lighting to the rooms onto which the openings face. It is likely that this façade originally housed entrances that were then closed off when the staircase was built. From a structural point of view, all the necessary investigations will be carried out to ensure the feasibility and stability of the intervention.
