VILLA PISANI “LA ROCCA”

Villa Pisani known as ‘La Rocca Pisana’, a Venetian villa built in 1576 by Vincenzo Scamozzi, a student of Andrea Palladio. It stands on the hilltop above the town of Lonigo and is therefore visible from a great distance. The square structure of the house, surmounted by an octagonal dome, gives it an austere purity of the volume, creating an ideal geometric composition.
