Villa Castelnuovo, Neoclassical villa in Piana dei Colli, Palermo, Italy.
The villa features a rectangular gymnasium building with eight Doric columns and a central dome decorated with detailed frescoes created by Michele Varrica.
The villa transformed from an aristocratic summer residence of the Cottone family in the 18th century into an agricultural institute through a decree in 1819.
The Teatro di Verdura within the villa grounds functions as an open-air theater for summer performances presented by Teatro Massimo of Palermo.
The estate spans 12 hectares and includes Italian gardens, fountains, and statues, with the main entrance located at Viale del Fante 70/b in Palermo.
The garden contains the Fountain of Music, a sculptural group created by Ignazio Marabitti in 1777, representing a notable example of Sicilian decorative art.
