Villa Gera, Neoclassical villa in Conegliano, Italy
Villa Gera stands on Giano Hill with a facade featuring ten Ionic columns supporting the portico of the main floor beneath a decorated pediment.
Bartolomeo Gera commissioned the villa in 1827, selecting architect Giuseppe Jappelli to create a structure that would transform the hillside landscape of Conegliano.
Giovanni De Min painted frescoes in 1837 depicting scenes from Julius Caesar's life, including the ceiling masterwork showing Caesar's victory over the Helvetii.
The villa maintains its original features despite damage during World War II, when German forces occupied the building and a fire destroyed parts of the frescoes.
The villa's position between the castle and historic center creates a visual connection between medieval and nineteenth-century architecture in Conegliano.
