villa Emo the villa It was built, most probably, during the years 1557-1560 and fresced between the 1561-1565. The model is the one of Villa-Farm, already tasted in villa Badoer in Fratta Polesine and Villa Barbaro in Maser; • the main body of the building reserved to patrician’s residence, formed by a classic pronaos with four doric columns, by one vestibule, by one hall and by three rooms placed symmetrically on sides; • the laterals Barchesse, designed to include, as Palladio say “the cellars, the barns, the stalls;… into the extremity there are two dovecotes, useful to the master and ornament for the place, and in every situation you can get under cover”, thanks to long arcades with eleven arches each. Palladio’s ability has been to comply with the requests of the customer, using very economical building’s materials, such as bricks and plaster, simulating ashiar-works and precious’s marbles, but also transferring into lines and shapes, reduced to the essential, harmony’s ideals and classic proportions. About in the middle of ‘700 radicals restorations have chanced the Barchesse’s function, becoming a high-class residence. In the XIX century also the garden changed the original Renaissance look into romantic variation. A B C D E F G H I atrio, vestibolo sala stanza di Venere camerino est delle grottesche stanza di Giove ed Io stanza di Ercole camerino ovest delle grottesche stanza delle arti frescoes The noble floor’s interiors are frascoed by Battista Zelotti (1526-1579), already Veronese’s partner and collaborator (Sala del Consiglio Dei Dieci and Library Marciana’s ceiling in Venice) and engaged into Palladio’s yards of Villa Godi and of Malcontenta. The extraordinary cycle of frescoes (1565) represents episodes taken from roman mythology and history and allegories that, almost as a Christian’s values anticipation, exalt the passion’s control and the practice of the conuigal’s virtue, according to a cultural model of the new landed aristocracy. In the decorative festoons are represented some Indian corn’s spikes, the cultivation of “the new word”, that will find an early “hospitality” in Emo’s land. the customer The VILLA was built during the years 1557-1560, when Palladio was accepted by the big aristocratic venetian families, above all after Villa Barbaro in Maser and Villa Badoer in Fratta experiences, with which Villa Emo shares the general planning out. The customer is Leonardo Emo (1532-1586), the man who married Cornelia Grimani in the 1565, Francesco Badoer’s nephew, the man who ordered Villa Badoer in Fratta Polesine.

They believe in their “social responsibility” and they want to protect this ”humanity’s patrimony” from speculations giving it back a new economic function(the farm has become the bank’s directional center)and a more modern cultural and socio-environmental function. the barchesse They are aligned to the master’s house, in a unique linear unity never seen before in architecture. They have eleven arcades, close by two higher and drawed back dovecotes. Their function is well described by Palladio himself: “In every situation you can get under cover….as neither rain nor hot sun of the summer doesn’t prevent the master to go and see his “negotii”. They are really useful to shelter wood and other Villa’s objects from the rain…and they are a precious ornament.” In the original project and during the first realization they were divided from master’s house with two crossing arches, one on each side .The arches were closed during the year 1774,when the Barchesse were transformed in a high-class residence. the village The ancient village, built southwards long an axis parallel to the Villa, on the other side of the street, shows perfectly the rural and country atmosphere long ago.
