Farmanieh lands belonged toAbdol-Hossein Farman Farma, the prime minister of Iran in the last years of theQajar dynasty. He had bought these lands in 1326 lunar year (1288 solar year) fromMohammad Wali Khan Asif al-Sultaneh. Farmanfarma had many wives and dozens of children, so that the children of his first wife would not be jealous of other children, during his lifetime, he distributed a large part of his property among the children of his first wife. Among this property went to Firoz Firoz, his eldest son. Firouz, who was known for his extravagance, was forced to sell part of his property to the Italian embassy.[2]
Due to the location of the Italian embassy and other gardens left by Shemiran in this area, as well as the proximity of Niavaran Park and Niavaran Palace, this area has a cool and clean climate like other areas in the north of the city.
