About the museum
Andrea Palladio designed the villa for the Venetian brothers Vettore, Marco and Daniele Pisani from 1542, and the main body was completed in 1545. The building is considered a turning point in the architect's career. It stands in the hamlet of Bagnolo, in the municipality of Lonigo, near the river Guà.
The complex comprised a main block (corpo dominicale), a courtyard, a tower, a dovecote and barchesse arranged at right angles. The large porticoed barchessa, attributed to Palladio, was damaged by a fire in 1806 and later replaced by a nineteenth-century structure; a bombing raid on 25 April 1945 left only one side of the portico standing. The catalogue of the Palladio Museum records as painters Francesco Torbido and an unknown artist of the late 16th century.
The villa was restored and opened to the public in 1993. Since 1996 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage, together with the other Palladian villas of the Veneto and the city of Vicenza.
