Jump the contents and go to the summary
In 1541, a Vicentine aristocrat and busy silk merchant called Losco Caldogno inherited a farm complex and a sizeable acreage of land at Caldogno, a few kilometres north of Vicenza. The layout of the villa is simple and the rooms are not in perfect proportion to one another. Around 1570, frescoes were painted by Giovanni Antonio Fasolo and Giovanni Battista Zelotti in the two larger rooms on the left side of the villa and transformed the interior into a wonderful architectural stage set.
Address
Via Zanella, 1 Caldogno Vicenza
