Villa Foscari, Renaissance villa in Malcontenta, Italy
Villa Foscari features a three-story facade with symmetrical design, grand portico, and monumental columns standing beside the Brenta canal.
Andrea Palladio constructed this villa between 1558 and 1560 for two patrician brothers from the Foscari family of Venice.
The interior apartments contain multiple frescoes by Battista Zelotti and Bernardino India, depicting mythological and allegorical scenes across walls and vaults.
Visitors can tour the villa from March through guided visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
The villa stands on an unusually high pedestal, measuring more than double the standard height typically used in Palladian architecture.
