The Garden

The restoration has brought new clarity to the entire villa complex, reconnecting the main building, the barchesse, and the various garden areas. Today, visitors can appreciate the harmony of the grounds: the lawn stretching from the villa to the public road, the secret garden enclosed by the nymphaeum, the rose garden, the small wood with its winding paths, the citrus house, the orchard and vegetable garden, and the magnolia garden.

This restoration allows us to read the villa as a layered story, shaped through centuries of change—from the 18th and 19th centuries to the 1930s, with architect Tomaso Buzzi’s major intervention. His work, guided by a clean, modernist aesthetic, laid the foundation for the current restoration.

Buzzi reinterpreted Palladio’s design by highlighting its geometry and removing decorative excess. He created new scenic perspectives, such as the main path that leads the eye from the villa toward the countryside. He also redesigned the ground floor windows and doors, combining 1930s modern taste with traditional materials.

In the formal garden, he added boxwood hedges and redefined the grassy parterres, removing the stone balustrade and statues. He also redesigned the two sundials on the dovecotes' facade, in collaboration with artist Alpago Novello. Every detail reflects Buzzi’s careful vision, restoring the villa’s timeless elegance.
