Villa Gazzotti Grimani

The Villa Gazzotti Grimani features eight pilasters dividing the facade into vertical sections, with a three-fold arcade and a prominent central loggia.

Construction of the villa began in 1542 under architect Andrea Palladio for Taddeo Gazzotti, who later sold it to Girolamo Grimani due to financial difficulties.

The villa represents a shift in Renaissance architecture through its innovative window designs and structural treatment of wall surfaces in the Venetian territories.

Located at Via San Cristoforo 23 in Bertesina, the villa currently requires restoration work, particularly for its exterior stucco which reveals underlying brickwork.

The building stands elevated above the surrounding landscape on a specially designed base that combines both functional and aesthetic purposes.
