Villa Emo
The Villa Emo is located in Fanzolo di Vedelago , Province of Treviso , Italy.
The villa was commissioned by Leonardo Emo to Andrea Palladio in 1564 . The functionality of the building combines the economic necessities of the Emo family's farm with the convenience of a wealthy owner's country estate.
A wide ramp leads to the main building with a portico made up of four Tuscan columns, which emphasize the agricultural reference through their simplicity. To the right and left, there are flat utility wings with simple pillar arcades. At the end there are two pigeon houses.
The interior of the piano nobile was painted with frescoes by Gianbattista Zelotti . The garden, in the style of a giardino italiana with cut book borders around the beds in geometric shapes, is adorned with numerous statues.
The villa is owned by a regional bank and is used as a training center. The representation rooms can be viewed during opening hours. In 2002, the building served as one of the locations for the film Ripley's Game, based on the Patricia Highsmith novel of the same name .
