Villa Godi, Renaissance villa with Italian garden in Lugo di Vicenza, Italy
The symmetrical facade features a central loggia with three arches and a grand staircase leading to the entrance hall of this stone mansion.
Andrea Palladio designed this villa in 1537 for the Godi brothers, marking his first architectural project documented in I quattro libri dell'architettura.
The interior rooms display frescoes by Gualtiero Padovano, Gianbattista Zelotti, and Battista del Moro depicting muses and poets in Arcadian landscapes.
The villa opens its doors daily for guided tours, houses an archaeology museum in the basement, and contains spaces for events and conferences.
The nineteenth-century park extends through 1,300 meters of paths, featuring commemorative stones with poetry inscriptions and a lake with swans.
