A 74-room mansion used by Napoleon Bonaparte as his headquarters during a famous battle has been put up for sale, reported Daily Mail. It is on the market at US$ 5.78 million with Beauchamp Estates, which also has a two-bedroom flat for sale at a similar price in London's Belgravia.
Villa La Voglina in Piedmont, Italy, was built in the 18th century by the world-renowned Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The historic property is set in 240 thousand square meters and boasts 13 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and a private chapel with seating for 30 people. The property also has 2 dining rooms, 2 kitchens, 10 reception rooms and a guest house.
There are beautiful formal gardens and terraces along with a vineyard which, if restored, could produce around 100 thousand bottles of wine per year.
Some 215 years ago, the French emperor used Villa La Voglina as his headquarters for the Battle of Marengo. The fighting between the French and Austrians took place near the city of Alessandria in Piemonte on June 14, 1800.
