For fifty years it tirelessly ripped through the countryside in search of coal. The machine has 10 buckets, each able to hold 1.5m3 of earth and rock (approx. 10 bath tubs).
Once owned by several generations of Italian nobility, as well as a famous painter.
The villa is surrounded by beautiful gardens
Three floors high, the great entrance hall is elaborately embellished with frescoes and moulded plasterwork.
