Venetian noble country buildings

The architecture of Villa Barbaro reflects the typology of the typical Venetian noble country building. The villa was commissioned by two brothers and the interior is decorated with one of Paolo Veronese's most extraordinary fresco cycles. Villa Barbaro is today in perfect condition and it is the only palladian villa that boasts a marvelous nymphaeum in the back garden. Villa Emo incarnates the Venetian noble's profound bond to the earth and agricultural life. The rectilinear and symmetrical wings of the barchesse enfold us in an embrace that we are reluctant to leave. A magnificent fresco cycle by Giambattista Zelotti - Palladio's collaborator par excellence - brilliantly decorates the interior.
