Villa settecentesca

An eighteenth-century villa, approached along an avenue flanked by the rustic outbuildings of a seventeenth-century complex. The main house spreads with a deliberate, horizontal mass, its tripartite facade anchored by a more imposing central block and a sort of pronaos: columns supporting the piano nobile’s terrace, its balustrade a row of slim colonnettes. The ground floor is opened by wide, low-arched arcades with rusticated stone frames; above, a triple-arched window, its surround curling into volutes, is crowned by the family coat of arms. The roofline finishes with a triangular, dentilled pediment, the dentils continuing along every elevation. To the south, single-storey wings project, capped by terraces with stone balustrades of shaped colonnettes. The north front is plainer and more linear: rectangular windows with geometric stone frames below, round and low-arched openings at the piano nobile’s centre, and simple stone-framed rectangles at the top. A confident, unshowy statement of Baroque country dignity.
