This country residence dates from the very last years of the sixteenth century and would appear to be that declared to be the property of Andrea Da Mosto <\/b>in a 1616 land survey. After the fall of the Venetian Republic, it changed hands a number of times prior to 1858, when it was bought by Luigi Rana; possession was ceded to the Loreggia Town Council on 12 April 1927. <\/p>\n
The elegant Venetian palazzo stands alongside the main road, rather like a fondaco<\/i> [a typical Venetian trading station\/warehouse]. The loggia, with three arches and a balustrade, provides shelter for the piano nobile<\/i> whilst also allowing the passage of abundant natural light. In 1863 the villa was restored and decorated with a series of frescoes and stuccowork; these additions included a gallery of fine portraits by Armano Francesco (1864). During the 1988 restorations interesting fragments of wall decorations dating from the late sixteenth\/early seventeenth century came to light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Built at the end of the sixteenth century for the aristocratic Da Mosto family, this fine villa now houses the Loreggia Town Hall. The exterior has fine stucco work, whilst the interior is decorated with frescoes dating from the second half of the nineteenth century (though there are also traces of the previous sixteenth-century frescoes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":982074,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"categorie_poi":[760],"class_list":["post-6772","luogo","type-luogo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorie_poi-historical-buildings-and-streets"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
