Villa Serego

Villa Serego features giant columns crafted from rough materials in its central courtyard, with limestone sculptures of Diana and Apollo adorning the facade.

Marcantonio Sarego commissioned architect Andrea Palladio to design this villa in 1552, with construction taking place between 1560 and 1570.

The villa represents a departure from traditional Palladian refinement through its innovative use of rusticated Ionic columns in the architectural design.

Located at coordinates 45°29′58″N 10°55′32″E, the villa spans 2.78 hectares and requires advance arrangements for guided visits to the property.

The structure appears in Palladio's 'I quattro libri dell'architettura' with plans showing a grander design than what was actually constructed.
