Villa de Giorgi
Built by the renowned phthisiologist (tuberculosis specialist) Gioacchino De Giorgi, the Villa de Giorgi is a large house located in Monteroni di Lecce, Apulia, southern Italy. The building's architecture and style are Medieval with battlements and Gothic-styled windows. The garden includes statues, bucolic amenities and an open-theatre.
The following epigraph is engraved at the villa's entrance and replicates the greeting to the visitor entering the Tuscanian town of Siena through the Camollìa gate:
- DE GIORGI GENS HIC COR TIBI MAGIS PANDIT
- (Latin for: "de Giorgi Family, here wider thy heart opens")
