Just past where Dei Colli Street meets Trebbiantico road you can see a house with a passage written on the wall that says, "watch your step" (this at one time was a warning to horses but today is used for the cars.) These two streets form a triangle together with the street that leads to Fosso Sejore and Novilara. This triangle in olden times was called Trivium Antiguum, which is where the name Trebbiantico originates. The triangle of roads indicates the place where during the first century A.D. a street originating from the center of Pesaro connected with the "new Flaminia", which was constructed by the Romans to circumnavigate the city. Not far from this triangle one can find the antique Roman fountains of Sajano, known for their curative powers. Near the Trivium Antiguum a small town developed that took the name Trebbiantico. This village is known as " a peaceful place where horse riders could rest and have a good laugh" because of its geographic position. It has always been considered a wonderful place for a holiday. Amongst the mostly modern architecture found in Trebbiantico, the most important architectural structure is Villa Cattani-Stuart. The Cattani family built the Villa at around 1650. This Villa reached its maximum splendor in the early 1700s when the Florentine cardinal, Alemanno Salviati, was sent by the pope to oversee the province of Pesaro and Urbino. From 1717-1732 this villa was the country residence for the Cardinal and his guests. Among the many guests who stayed with the Cardinal at the villa was England's James Stuart III, who came in 1726. This visit was commemorated by engraving his name in Latin above the grand entrance, which included the title king of England that was granted to him by the Catholic Church. With the death of Alessandro Cattani and the marriage of the last Cattani heir Anna-Maria to the Marquis Giovanni Paolucci the notoriety of the villa diminished. The successive owners (the Paolucci family and Countess Bolis, both who are buried at the Trebbiantico cemetery, the Giungi family and the Marcconi family) never abandoned the villa and sought to conserve the original splendor of the place with the particular care of the family living there. Because of the care taken by the various owners the writer Clarice Tartufari referred to the Villa Cattani-Stuart in her 1911 novel, Eternal Laws, where she wrote that in the little village of Trebbiantico, "…to the left along the entire length of the town lie a magnificent villa with walls adorned with stumptous greenery draped over its walls and railings where one could see a glimpse of the gaily colored flowers in the garden." The interior of the villa has magnificent ceilings painted with the frescos of Nicolò Berrettoni, student of Cantarini and Maratti (or Maratta). Across the main gallery one comes to a small chapel where Cardinal Salviati used to pray. Unfortunately the furnishings that were in the chapel where lost with time. The villa is completely isolated from the other houses in the town and one arrives there through a tree lined park behind which, on the right, are three beautiful Italian gardens with fountains, tubs, temples, and stone statues that can all be viewed from the Rio Fosso Sejore valley. The villa is harmoniously located in the beautiful countryside filled with rolling hills surrounding Pesaro. We are able to offer every type of service in a gratuitous atmosphere from 20 to 500 people with fancy frescoed rooms or more modest accommodations. All beautifully furnished rooms come with breakfast included in the night's stay.
