Villa Emo Site Features

The ramp

Not steps. Carts drove up it to the threshing floor. No single detail explains the Palladian villa better.

The barchesse

Long arcaded barns flanking the house and ending in dovecote towers -- the working half of the building, and half its width.

The Zelotti frescoes

An almost complete sixteenth-century decorative scheme across the principal rooms.

Four and a half centuries of one family

The Emo held it from its construction until 2004.
