Villa Torlonia stands in the countryside of San Mauro Pascoli. Together with the Museo Casa Pascoli, it is regarded as one of the key sites of Pascoli's life.

It goes without saying that this violent event left a deep mark on Giovanni Pascoli and his poetics.

Good to know
- Villa Torlonia is also known as "La Torre" (the tower), after the tower that dominates the building.
- Villa Torlonia is open to the public and, in summer, hosts an evocative cultural event, Processo a Villa Torlonia, in which lawyers and jury debate a historical episode as if in a real courtroom. The verdict is delivered by the audience attending the trial.
