Historical Background: The Villa incorporates a 14th-century tower, whose original openings facing Casentino, Valdichiana, Arezzo, and Catenaia are still visible. Built on a previous structure dating before the 12th century, some caves and cellars from that period are still preserved.

The property belonged to the noble Lippi family, originally from the Valtiberina, who were Ghibelline allies of the Geri family and recognized as nobles since ancient times. Their coat of arms features a red and green background separated by a golden stripe with five black balls.

Marcantonio Lippi, a knight of the Order of Saint Stephen, distinguished himself during the Siege of Belgrade, where he lost his life. The property then passed to his descendants, members of the Arcadians of Rome and the Academy of the Forzati of Arezzo.

In 1768, it was inherited by the Mascagni family, whose maternal line ended with the Cherici family, also of noble origins, descending from the Samuelli family, patricians of Siena since the 13th century, Knights of Saint Stephen, Gonfaloniers, and Priors of Chiusi and Montepulciano.

Within the villa’s park stands "La Bella di Ceciliano", a magnificent oak tree estimated to be around 350 years old.
