Villa Tedeschi, also called Villa dello Scaro, is a villa located in the urban center of Pozzallo, in the Scaro district. The villa takes its name from the last owners of the estate, the Tedeschi family, although it was long owned by various cadet branches of the Polara marquises family. Since 2009 it has been home to the municipal library. Coat of arms of the Polara family, owners of the villa from 1829 to 1979 through its cadet branches: the Polara Lorefice, the Polara Galazzo and the Tedeschi Polara.
In 1897, with a deed of donation, the Tedeschi spouses transferred the former Scaro fiefdom to their younger son Corrado, subsequently mayor of the town during fascism, minus the part granted in emphyteusis; he lived there until 1955, when, due to his precarious health conditions and economic difficulties, he moved to a small house in the central Piazza Mercato and sold part of the land attached to the property.
In 1979 the villa was sold by the heirs of Corrado Tedeschi to the Municipality of Pozzallo.
The property remained in a state of abandonment for decades; in this long period it was plundered, deprived of all decoration and the structure collapsed in several places. After a few years of restoration, in 2009 it was used as the seat of the municipal library. The main floor, not yet restored, features numerous frescoes and precious fixtures.
In 2019 the renovation works began, financed by the Sicilian Region and the Government.
