Villa Valmarana
Lisiera di Bolzano Vicentino
In any case, building works at the villa were interrupted in 1566 by the death of Gianfrancesco and were probably concluded, economically, by his nephew Leonardo Valmarana (son of Gianfrancesco’s brother, Giovanni Alvise), the patron of the Cappella Valmarana in Santa Corona and heir of the great family palace also designed by Palladio. The second storey of loggias was never constructed and the middle section was terminated with a sort of attic. Almost destroyed by bombardment during World War II, the villa has recently been reconstructed.
