| VILLA 4* cod.VVQ18 - VERONA / OSPEDALETTO
HISTORY OF THE VILLA
The villa was the summer residence of the noble Veronese family Quaranta and was constructed between 1639 and 1653. The façade of the villa is of a simple design, with a series of windows embellished with carved frames. On the main floor one enters into a spacious loggia. There, a stone tablet commemorates the visit of emperor Alexander I of Russia in 1822 while he was in Italy for the congress of Santa Alleanza.
In the main hall of the ground floor there are beautiful frescos above the doors and the painted walls depict a lovely garden scene. A magnificent marble staircase leads to the upper floor where the eye beholds a ceiling frescoed in the classical tradition. The chapel of the villa is dedicated to the blessed Virgin Mary and is decorated in the romantic tradition. It was originally intended to be the chapel annexed to a hospital for foreign pilgrims. For centuries thereafter it lay open to the sun as a place of public worship for local cults. Marvelously frescoed by Jacopo Ligozzi, the interior walls depict scenes from the New Testament.
