VILLA DEMIDOFF Villa Demidoff is the modern name of what remains of the Medicean Villa of Pratolino and is located in the town of Pratolino, in Vaglia, in the Province of Florence, via Fiorentina, 276. The actual Medici villa was demolished in 1822, but later it was bought by the family of Russian origin of the Demidoffs, who used the secondary building of the straws as a new villa, enlarging and restructuring it. The park is one of the most beautiful and extensive in all of Tuscany, among the most important in the English style. Although many original works of art have been removed over the centuries, the park still preserves many of significant interest. Among these there are: the Colossus of the Apennines by Giambologna; the Fonte di Giove, whose copy was placed by the Demidoffs at the end of the nineteenth century; the two goals of sponge; the Chapel, with a hexagonal plan and an external loggia, near which the last Princess Demidoff is buried; the Fonte del Mugnone, whose statue was sculpted by Giambologna (1577); the Peschiera della Maschera, also used as a swimming pool and equipped for hot baths; the Great Aviary; the Fagianeria; the Cupid Cave
