Villa La Favorita, Renaissance villa in Porto Mantovano, Italy.
Villa La Favorita features stone columns, loggias, and windows framed with light marble, complemented by decorative cornices and terracotta chimneys.
The villa was constructed between 1615 and 1624 under architect Nicolò Sebregondi's direction for Duke Ferdinando Gonzaga as a court residence.
The property connects to two significant battles in 1796 and 1797, where Napoleon Bonaparte's French forces secured victories during the Siege of Mantua.
Current restoration efforts focus on preserving the structure, with a section of the building operating as a hospitality venue for events and gatherings.
The villa emerges unexpectedly from agricultural fields, distinguished by its rosy-tinted walls against the surrounding countryside landscape.
