Medici Villa La Petraia: “the Medici villa del Trebbio”, in the lunette called “Il Trebbio”, one of the fourteen lunettes by Giusto Utens, Italianized name of Iustus van Utens, 1599-1602. This villa is located in San Piero a Sieve.The lunettes present idyllic aerial views of calligraphic precision, very decorative and precious evidence of the appearance of these buildings in the past. They were painted for the Medici villa of Artimino as an "inventory" (today we would say "cadastre") of the possessions of the Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici, and after various moves, they are preserved today in the Villa La Petraia. Originally there were 17, but only 14 have reached us.
