Rocca Pisana, Renaissance villa in Lonigo, Italy
The villa features a square plan with a central circular hall, positioned on a hilltop site of a former medieval fortress from the 13th century.
Venetian noble Vettor Pisani commissioned architect Vincenzo Scamozzi to design this villa in 1574, with construction completed over the following two years.
The central hall includes a hemispherical dome supported by eight ribs, drawing inspiration from the architectural design of the Roman Pantheon.
The structure incorporates separate facilities for living quarters and agricultural activities, including stables and a barchessa built with local materials.
Light filters through a marble grate in the dome, illuminating the circular hall while the facades align precisely with the four cardinal directions.
