The complex of Villa La Quiete preserves the historical and artistic heritage linked to the events of the Montalve, who have lived and looked after the villa for over three centuries.Now owned by the Region of Tuscany, the Villa is given in concession to the Museum System (owner of the historical assets left there) for the development of a visiting itinerary in the context of a larger project to enhance the complex.

Part of an estate called "il Gioiello", Villa Galileo belongs to the State Property, in concession to the University of Florence, which, through the University Museum System, takes care of its maintenance and promotion.
