Villa Contarini in Piazzola sul Brenta - Padova, designed by Andrea Palladio


Villa Contarini in Piazzola sul Brenta is perhaps one of the largest, most grandiose and composite building complexes designed in the characteristic architectural style of a Villa Veneta structure. This elaborated structure was most probably designed by Andrea Palladio and commissioned by the Venetian aristocrats Francesco and Paolo Contarini. Inside the villa, the music-hall, once loved by Vivaldi who performed some of his compositions there, is very suggestive and attractive. The villa also contains lots of 17th century frescoes and a very interesting collection of ancient maps and drawings.
