IN THE HEART OF TREVISO A RURAL MASTERPIECE OF ANDREA PALLADIO
A region permeated with art:
rich in historical, artistic and cultural
elements which can be seen as a true
'golden triangle'.
One can admire the extraordinary works by
three great masters in the fields of painting,
architecture and sculpture: Giorgione ,
Palladio and Canova respectively.
All this within a few miles of each other in
an area comprised between the slopes of
Monte Grappa, the Hills of Asolo and
Castelfranco Veneto.
An extremely interesting itinerary which,
thanks to the information on museums available
online, leads to the discovery and appreciation
of the art and history of this culturally
rich region.
A new exciting way of learning
about the history of a place and
the events that marked, across
the ages, the lives of its
inhabitants.
The history of a Palladian
monument through the analysis
and guided consultation of
original documents supplied by
the large private archive
belonging to the Emo Capodistria
family.
The villa was probably built
between 1557 and 1560 and
it was frescoed between
1561 and 1565.
It was built in the farm style
which had already been
experimented in Villa Badoer
at Fratta Polesine and in
Villa Barbaro at Maser.
