It is the classification of Residenze d'Epoca. The Golden Crown comes after 50 monthly Quality Checks, the Double after 100 and the Triple after 150, and about one historic house in a hundred obtains it. The Silver Crown requires 20 Quality Checks a year.
The Residenze d'Epoca Certification Protocol provides for up to 150 Quality Controls, 10 verification phases and 3 months of evaluation. As a result of this strictness, so far only about 1% of the historical residences have been awarded the Golden Crown of Residenze d'Epoca, thus becoming part of the collection of the best historic houses in Italy.
