Villa Cornaro, Renaissance villa in Piombino Dese, Italy.

Two identical double-height porticos with Ionic and Corinthian columns adorn both the front and back facades of this symmetrical building.

Andrea Palladio designed this villa in 1552 for the Venetian noble Giorgio Cornaro, marking a significant advancement in his architectural career.

The interior contains over one hundred frescoes created by Mattia Bortoloni in 1717, depicting scenes from both Old and New Testament.

The villa opens for visitors on Saturdays from May to September between 15:30 and 18:00, with special arrangements for groups of ten or more.

Six marble statues in wall niches portray notable Cornaro family members, including Catherine Cornaro, the Queen of Cyprus.
