Il Mauriziano, Renaissance villa in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

The Mauriziano features a quadrangular layout with a symmetrical central hall surrounded by side rooms and three decorated chambers with sail vaults.

Built around 1450, the villa maintains its sixteenth-century structure despite renovations carried out during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The Poets' Chamber displays paintings of writers and poets on an ideal Parnassus, while the Ariosto Chamber contains a fireplace adorned with Malaguzzi coat of arms.

Access to the villa is through a terracotta triumphal arch, followed by a 250-meter tree-lined avenue leading to the main building.

The interior walls of the Horatii Chamber present landscapes and scenes of Roman ruins, depicting historical episodes through detailed frescoes.
