Description
We offer an incredibly evocative historic residence, featuring a marvelous Italian-style park adorned with a priceless oval fountain, a landscaped park of approximately 11 hectares, and a private lake at the end of the property. The property extends between Monte Cimone and Cengio on one side and Summano and Priaforà on the other. The main body of the villa was built in 1752 by Girolamo Velo, who restored the 15th-century section and constructed the current complex, embellishing it with stucco, frescoes, and floors. The frescoes are attributed to Giambattista Canal and were finely restored in 1964. The oldest part recalls the Gothic-Renaissance style, while the 18th-century wing, with its dovecote and Italian-style park at the front, reflects the typical concept of a noble residence. The beauty and setting of this magnificent property provided Antonio Fogazzaro (a late 19th-century writer and poet) with the backdrop for his second novel, Daniele Cortis. The broken red marble column, originally from Egypt but recovered from the Baths of Caracalla, is a metaphor for broken love in the novel. This jewel in the crown of late 18th-century architecture is a place where nature and beauty intertwine in harmonious harmony. It is an excellent investment for anyone wishing to use the villa as a summer residence or as a hospitality facility, or for exclusive events.
