Beautiful but closed the gate and the impression of abandonment

Abandoned and in ruins. Private road from the state road but you can park from the church in front then approach it on foot.

Beautiful, fresh inside, it is a pity that the ignorance of the manager in charge of the superintendency of the fine arts of Verona prohibits external cleaning for fear of compromising the stability of the building: a shameful thing!

It happened, some time ago, to pass near this splendid patrician residence in that of Vancimuglio, a hamlet of Grumolo delle Abbadesse. The architecture is that of the great Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, the "Palladio", as his noble mentor, the writer and refined esthete Gian Giorgio Trissino called him. Paradoxically, Andrea Palladio was born in Padua, but already a boy with his parents he moved to Vicenza, to which he has forever linked his name. The photos published here make the beauty of this Villa of the noble Chiericati family from Vicenza perfectly well (whose "Reggia", designed by Palladio himself and remained unfinished, is right in the center of Vicenza, overlooking the gardens of Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, unless of a stone's throw from the Olympic Theater, another masterpiece by Andrea da Padova. Without detracting from the beauty of the other photos posted here, I cannot but express my special appreciation for the one taken and posted by Mr. Mattia Fiore. A particular angle, with the Villa immersed in a decidedly "summer" situation Unfortunately, as Mr. Fiore rightly points out, this magnificent monument, which is included in the Official List of Venetian Villas, is in a situation of melancholy abandonment.
