As it stood in 2014
What Castello di Procoio looked like in its prime.
A compact rectangular stone fortress-villa of pale Umbrian masonry set on a ridge of Monte Tezio, with low-pitched terracotta tiled roofs and small chimneys. The long three-storey façade features regularly spaced narrow windows and a ground-level arched loggia of three large semicircular arches. A substantial cylindrical corner tower anchors one end of the curtain wall while roofs step down into an enclosed central range; the building sits above a winding road with woodland and fields below, intact and fully roofed.
Its story
The story of Castello di Procoio.
The Castello di Santa Eurasia is a former castle on Monte Tezio near Ponte Pattoli in Umbria, built in the 15th century, with a chapel dedicated to Santa Eurasia. It is now a private villa owned by the Russian billionaire businessman and former KGB spy Alexander Lebedev and his son Evgeny, who also own the nearby Palazzo Terranova.
The architect Domenico Minchilli renovated the structure over two years, rebuilding walls and removing rubble while leaving the facade unaltered, and in 2011 the interiors were decorated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard at a cost of €10 million — layered to look as if accumulated over many years, with 17th-century Flemish fireplaces, a complete series of the Stations of the Cross and 18th-century banqueting tables.
The Lebedevs have hosted numerous parties at the house, with visitors including the former British prime minister Boris Johnson. The villa has been monitored by Italian intelligence agencies over concerns that it has been used for espionage purposes.
