Mussolente, Vicenza, Italy | Diletta Giorgolo S., Italy Sotheby’s International Realty 

This unique Venetian villa sits on top of a hill, on a raised embankment and has impressive 360° views over the surrounding countryside and Alps. This makes it truly remarkable as most properties in the area are located on the plains. The villa was commissioned by the Bassano’s nobleman Antonio Negri Miazzi to the Architect Antonio Gaidon (1738-1829) and completed in 1763. The facade, crowned by a triangular pediment surmounted by statues, enhances the iconographic aspect of the property. The villa faces southwards and has a strikingly lavish entrance.
