Villa Emo, Renaissance villa in Fanzolo, Italy

Villa Emo features a central building with two extending wings, connected by colonnades and crowned with a triangular pediment above the entrance loggia.

Leonardo Emo commissioned architect Andrea Palladio to design this villa between 1555 and 1565, transforming the estate into an agricultural center.

The interior rooms display frescoes by Giovanni Battista Zelotti depicting scenes from Roman mythology integrated with agricultural themes of the region.

The villa maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon advance reservation.

The building retains its original agricultural function through working farmlands, making it the only Palladian villa that continues its initial purpose.
