Built in Noventa Padovana in the final decade of the seventeenth century by the Venetian patrician family, but of Bergamo origin, of the Giovanelli, it is a very interesting example of Palladian return to the Baroque era. After a great conservative restoration, it has now returned to its wonderful splendor. <\/p>\n
It is undoubtedly the most monumental among the many villas still existing in Noventa and one of the most remarkable Venetian villas, it appears in the banner of the municipality as a symbol of a historical and artistic peculiarity of the country. Built in the final decade of the seventeenth century by the Venetian patrician family, but of Bergamo origin, of the Giovanelli, it is a very interesting example of Palladian return to the Baroque era, thanks to the monumental pronaos with large pediment columns.<\/p>\n
It seems to have been erected under the direction of Antonio Gaspari, a pupil and continuators of Longhena, while the wide staircase, embellished with statues of renowned Venetian craftsmen, is due to an intervention by Giorgio Massari, the well-known architect of Villa Cordellina in Montecchio Maggiore and the church of the Piet\u00e0 in Venice, around 1738.<\/p>\n
The plan, characterized by a large central hall developed in height, on whose walls are visible the remains of wall paintings made around 1760 by Giuseppe Angeli, a pupil of the Piazzetta, and by side apartments with small hall stairs, clearly denounces the post-Longhenian style.<\/p>\n
The interiors of the rooms are decorated with a profusion of stucco, of exceptional level, in the most lively Baroque style; the abundance of cherubs and medallions with figurative scenes reveals the work of skilled plasterers of the early eighteenth century, probably coming from the Canton of Ticino; other stucco on the walls are late.<\/p>\n
