SOPHIA LOREN | $22 MILLION | ROME
Carlo Ponti, the late husband of Sophia Loren, vowed to gift his wife the “most beautiful house in the world,” and he certainly delivered on his promise. The esteemed couple once owned a stunning estate nestled in the picturesque Appian Way Park in Rome.
The property consists of a two-story, 680 square-meter main villa and a separate outbuilding. The main villa holds historical significance as it sits atop the ruins of a basalt quarry, once utilized for materials to construct the renowned Appian Way, a Roman road. It boasts five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, along with an elevator, a library with a winter garden, a heated swimming pool, multiple independent apartments, and a garage. Surrounded by lush greenery, manicured lawns, and a centuries-old park spanning 1.5 hectares, this property is a mere 10-minute drive from the Colosseum. It was listed for $22 million.
