Elegant Venetian Villa in the Veneto Region of Italy
Inspired the great European courts and Palladio’s four books of architecture, the Venetian villa was built 1827-1831 to the designs of Countess Isabella Velo, one of the most influential women in Vicenza at the time.
The Italian villa is set in nearly 25 acres of grounds, located in the small town of Isola Vicentina in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy near the city of Vincenza, the home of the 16th-century architect Andrea Palladio.
