Famous Villa built by the cultured abbot Filippo Farsetti on the site of the previous Sala palace. <\/p>\n
Abbot Farsetti called the architect Paolo Posi from Rome, who designed the majestic palace in Rococo style, adorning it with thirty-eight columns from the Temple of Concord in Rome.<\/p>\n
The abbot also had a wonderful garden built, a botanical garden of considerable size and interest, citron orchards, greenhouses, groves, and a maze. On a small hill formed from the excavated material of an oval pond, he erected a small temple that depicted the Roman baths. He then constructed a large earthen embankment (also oval) that he surrounded with a row of yews shaped in an arch to evoke a Roman amphitheater. Nearby, he recreated the remains of the temples of Diana and Jupiter Thunderer.<\/p>\n
From all this work, today only the main palace, the guesthouse, two citrus greenhouses, and the stables remain.<\/p>\n
