Meet Contessa Angelica Ferri Personala

Contessa Angelica Ferri Personali is the daughter of Count Fabrizio and Contessa Fiorella. She is not only a respected Chartered Accountant and statutory auditor but also a distinguished graduate in economics and commerce from the esteemed University of Modena.

After a devastating earthquake that rocked most of the region, it was her unwavering dedication and vision that spearheaded a decade-long restoration of the family home into a multi-purpose villa.

“Villa La Personala is incredibly special to me. It has been in my family for centuries and is a part of the Italian history, dating back to the 1100s.

My family has lived here throughout the centuries, including myself and my parents. I personally have many beautiful memories growing up at the villa, celebrating special events, including my very own wedding in 2012 and the baptism of my children in the family chapel nearby.

In 2012, a major earthquake hit the region, and destroyed a large part of our villa. But like all the generations before me, who lived at the villa and contributed to making it a welcoming place, we were determined to return it back to life.

Our family’s wish was to open it up to the public to enjoy and experience the surrounding area. We worked with several local architects, artisans, and restoration experts to ensure that we kept the historical integrity in place, but at the same time transforming it into a modern, multi-purpose space to host events, weddings, celebrations, and a boutique hotel.

When you visit, I hope you feel all the love and care that was put into “our home”.

We look forward to welcoming you at Villa La Personala soon.” – Contessa Angelica Ferri Personali
