Description

The Venetian style villa was built in the late 16th century.[1] According to the land registry of 1666, the villa was owned 1/4 by him and 3/4 by Francesco Loredan, of the very wealthy Santo Stefano branch of the House of Loredan. The residence was later fully acquired by the Loredan family. The walls of the halls and the bedrooms are entirely covered by paintings attributed to the school of Paolo Veronese, in particular Carlo Caliari.[2]
