Villa Pullè, Venetian villa in San Pietro in Cariano, Italy

Villa Pullè is a Venetian villa built in the 1630s in San Pietro in Cariano, in the Valpolicella area near Verona. It has a chapel and farm buildings, with the Pullè coat of arms on the south facade and the Monga coat of arms on the north facade. A long avenue of centuries-old cypresses leads to the entrance.

Villa Pullè dates from the 1630s; from the second half of the 17th century it belonged to the Pullè family, whose coat of arms remains on the south facade, the chapel and some farm buildings. Around 1830 Andrea Monga, owner of the neighbouring Villa Costanza, bought it and placed his own coat of arms on the north facade. In 1929-30 Antonio Galtarossa acquired the villa and began its renovation.

The villa bears the name of the Pullè family who shaped the property, and their coat of arms remains visible on the walls today. The family left a lasting mark on the place through these architectural and heraldic elements that visitors can observe.

The villa stands in San Pietro in Cariano, in the Valpolicella hills northwest of Verona. Access is through a long avenue of centuries-old cypresses, so the approach is on foot along that drive. The site is private property; visits should be arranged in advance rather than made on impulse.

A well on the grounds is dated 1516, older than the villa itself, which was built in the 1630s. Look for the carved date on the stone.
