La Fabbrica di Catrosse
Where history, architecture, and potential meet
In the heart of the Cortona countryside, just minutes from the historic center, stands the Catrosse Factory, an imposing structure with a unique charm, steeped in history and tradition. Also known in ancient times as the Fornace, it was part of a production complex commissioned by the noble Venuti family, which included the pottery factory and the historic Villa Venuti. It was Curzio Venuti who, in 1796, began the production of pottery and, for approximately thirty years, also of fine majolica, transforming Catrosse into a vibrant manufacturing hub in Tuscany.
Today, this extraordinary property stands as a rare historical testimony and a unique opportunity for architectural regeneration. The main structure extends over three levels for a total of approximately 1,038 square meters, plus a 63 square meter annex requiring renovation. The building’s distinctive shape and imposing size make it ideal for a high-end residential project, a creative atelier, or a charming hospitality facility.
Spaces and Design Potential
The building requires a complete and conservative restoration, designed to enhance its original character and breathe new life into it.
A possible renovation project could include:
Ground floor: large, customizable spaces, easily subdivided into multiple independent units. The main floor could accommodate two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, while the secondary area could accommodate a large living room, eat-in kitchen, dining room, and storage room, with additional rooms to be used as needed.
First floor: ideal for sleeping quarters, with the possibility of creating at least four bedrooms, additional bathrooms, and relaxation areas.
Attic: spacious and versatile, perfect for utility rooms, a studio, or creative workshops.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
La Fabbrica di Catrosse is more than just a building: it’s an authentic fragment of history, nestled in the Valdichiana landscape, waiting to be restored to its former splendor. An iconic property, perfect for those dreaming of transforming it into an exclusive residence, a cultural center, or a unique and unmistakable hospitality facility.
