Villa Valmarana Scagnolari Zen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Villa Valmarana Scagnolari Zen is a building designed by Andrea Palladio. It is situated in Lisiera, a locality of Bolzano Vicentino, and was originally built in the 1560s.[1]

The villa was nearly totally destroyed in the Second World War, but has been rebuilt. Even before the war damage, the building did not closely resemble the plan which Palladio published in his "Four Books of Architecture" of 1570, possibly because Gianfrancesco Valmarana, the architect's client, died while his house was being built.
