Villa Bernini Buri

Villa Bernini Buri is an 18th-century complex in San Michele Extra comprising a main residence, chapel, stables, farmer's house, and auxiliary buildings. The property spreads across countryside grounds laid out as an English garden.

The Buri family, influential in Verona since the 13th century, acquired the property in 1738 when nobles sought refuge from a plague epidemic. This marked the start of a new phase when the family established their residence in this rural setting.

The interior rooms display frescoes showing scenes from the Buri family's life and their era, with allegorical figures and landscape paintings adorning the walls. This decoration reveals the interests and lifestyle of the family who lived here across generations.

The property is open for cultural events, educational programs, and private functions organized by the Villa Buri Association. It is best to check beforehand or contact the association to learn what visits or events are currently available.

Two mosaic-decorated pavilions stand on the northern lawn, where the Buri family once held summer gatherings and events. These small structures showcase the decorative craftsmanship the family valued.
