A grand and historic Italian villa outside Florence has hit the market for $19.66 million; it was previously owned by the husband of the noblewoman in Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous 'Mona Lisa.'

An Italian villa built in the 1300s is on the market in Scandicci, Italy — with an asking price of $19.66 million. The astounding estate was once home to the family of Francesco del Giocondo, husband of the noblewoman painted in the "Mona Lisa." Del Giocondo commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to paint a portrait of his wife, Lisa.

The priceless painting is on display in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Diletta Giorgolo, head of residential at Italy Sotheby's International Realty, told FOX Business in an emailed statement that the villa is one of the oldest properties in the immediate vicinity of Florence. The Villa di Montaguglione, now known as Villa Antinori, sits on the left bank of the Arno River just three miles outside the center of Florence.

Its Renaissance-era architecture speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic value, making it a true gem for anyone who appreciates European history and culture," said Giorgolo. The villa is adorned with period details and has 14 rooms and 15 bathrooms.

The garden is rich with roses and symmetrically arranged flowerbeds, including a large spur-shaped "knight's staircase," the real estate agency said. Many notable historical figures have reportedly graced the villa with their presence.
