Just 45 minutes from Pescara International Airport and two hours from Rome, Palazzo Marca rises from the historic center of Mozzagrogna – a timeless village suspended between the Apennines and the Adriatic. Formerly known as Palazzo Marcantonio, this 18th-century estate is more than architecture: it’s a testament to the enduring refinement of Italian culture, ready to be shaped by a contemporary vision.
Architectural Heritage
Designed by the celebrated Florentine architect Gino Coppedè, Palazzo Marca combines grandeur and craftsmanship in a way that few properties in Italy can match. Classical arches, restored frescoes, original terracotta floors and centuries-old timber beams trace a timeline of nobility, intellect and cultural presence – from patrician families and scholars to its later wartime significance.

The main residence spans over 1,600 m² across multiple levels, plus 500 m² of adjoining stables and service areas. The building is partially restored, offering a rare opportunity for custom renovation within a structurally sound framework.
