Palazzo San Bonifacio Ardit
Location: Este
The project was made by School of Peruzzi who made also the Palazzina Chigi alla Lungara, known as Villa Farnesina in Rome.
The large central hall of marmorino was built in neoclassical style and the main floor frescoes were made by Giovanni Carlo Bevilacqua and his workshop.
Unaltered through the centuries, the complex is a proper ‘’Villa Veneta’’ and consists of a casa padronale with a private chapel, garden with statues, Barchessa and barns, courtyard and Brolo.
In the garden you will find a wide variety of roses, ancient and modern, and oleander with a spectacular flowering.
