Villa Trissino

Villa Trissino is a manor house near Sarego and Meledo that combines symmetrical facades with attached agricultural buildings. The structure shows how residential and working spaces were unified within a single complex.

The house was built in the 16th century as one of Palladio's early designs and marks an important phase in his development as an architect. Construction occurred during a period when he was refining his architectural ideas before taking on larger projects.

The house embodies Palladio's vision of harmony between living spaces and working areas, where classical Roman forms structure daily life. Visitors today experience how this design integrates the residential and agricultural functions into a single landscape.

The estate is open to visitors and offers tours through the interior rooms and surrounding gardens in the Veneto countryside. It is wise to allow time for a thorough walk to explore the different areas of the complex.

Count Gian Giorgio Trissino used the estate as a place for training the young Palladio in architecture during the Renaissance. This educational role made the site a birthplace for one of history's most influential architectural careers.
