metadata.value: Demidoff’s villa San Donato near Florence, in the middle of the 19th century, was one of the
  most interesting phenomena of European artistic life. The richest collection, acquired by the
  two generations of the family and opened for the choice public at the end of the 1850s, was
  attractive not only for the curious tourist by also for the specialists in the history of art. This
  collection gives his influence for the collecting of the second half of the 19th century The total
  liquidation of the 1860s–1880s destroyed this ensemble. However, thanks to the sales catalogues,
  some detailed descriptions of the interiors of San Donato and the archive’s documents,
  unique pictures, it becomes possible to restore not only the list of this collection but to try to
  understand the taste of these collectors. At the end of the 1850s at the rooms of Villa San Donato
  was amassed one of the most important collections from Russian malachite. Those pieces
  reflected two main styles applied by European and Russian artists. One of the rooms was
  decorated by the pieces created in the first third of the 19th century in empire taste. The second
  interior, remarkable by the concentration of the malachite pieces realized in the middle 19th
  century was known only by a description completed by the malachite pieces in the second
  rococo taste. The decoration of this room was destroyed by the sales. However, the study of
  the descriptions of 1858 and 1864, archive documents, sale catalogues and previous research
  permit to reconstruct of the main elements of one of the main interiors of the Florentine villa
  of the Demidoff family and to talk about the very special taste of his members.
