Italian
With that state of mind that books beauty and knows how to find it, because the FAI has always treated us well, inviting us to lunch with the waiters in livery.
This autumn, it’s time for this splendid villa located in a setting where time seems to have stood still, and the guides skillfully accompany us through the scenery built in the early eighteenth century at the behest of the brothers Venturali, wealthy Venetian merchants.
The Venetian villa is here represented in all its traditional canons with the three large arched openings topped by the central rise with a pediment.
The oratory at the back of the villa impresses with grace and pleasantness, revealing the bell tower, the vaulted ceiling, and the presence of the burials of almost all the members of the families.
But it’s not over until it’s over, and when we find ourselves in front of the atelier that becomes the museum of the artist Mariapia Fanna Ronconi, a Milanese artist who lived in Switzerland and Argentina, our eyes and soul shine thanks to her innate multifaceted talent.
Final pearl that evokes our admiration for courage and creative drive is the residential complex built in 1975 based on the design by architects Bandera and Facchini, who in perfect architectural dichotomy make a bold stylistic antithesis credible, combining contemporaneity and tradition.
Retracing the vast park with the emotions experienced well packed in our backpack, our final thanks goes to a majestic cedar that seems uncertain between bidding us farewell and asking us to stay, but so be it.
Thank you FAI
