Villa Valmarana ai nani
Villa Valmarana ai Nani , a Vicenza, è un grande complesso monumentale, ancora oggi residenza di famiglia , composto da una Palazzina (palazzina), Foresteria (foresteria), Scuderia (scuderie) e un magnifico parco storico.
Il nome della Villa trae origine dalle 17 statue di nani (nani) poste sul muro di cinta della proprietà, probabilmente opera di Francesco Uliaco su disegno di Giandomenico Tiepolo , legata ad una famosa leggenda di una principessa di nome Layana.
La Villa è considerato uno dei pinnacoli del 18 ° ardito pittura , e una consumata testimonianza al genio di due artisti, Giambattista e Giandomenico Tiepolo, incaricati di decorare con affreschi nel 1757 dal suo proprietario, Giustino Valmarana.
JW Goethe scriveva che le diverse atmosfere che percepiva nella Villa erano conseguenza della vocazione “sublime” di Giambattista , che dipinse il primo piano della Palazzina, e della piega “naturale” di Giandomenico, che affrescò le stanze della Foresteria.
Questa occasione per mettere a confronto il lavoro di padre e figlio nelle stanze dello stesso complesso della Villa è assolutamente unica .
Il complesso di Villa Valmarana è aperto per visite guidate e non accompagnate, programmi didattici, matrimoni ed eventi.
Gli ospiti possono soggiornare in eleganti appartamenti nella Palazzina e nella Foresteria.
