The Villa della Torre Cazzola is a Roman house in the heart of the Veneto region. The Renaissance building was erected according to the popular style of 500 years previous. The Villa della Torre Cazzola, the ‘closed’ structure of which a good alternative to Palladio’s designs, stands around a central courtyard, onto which the main areas face. On the ground floor are four rooms, in which fireplaces are in the form of monstrous beasts with gaping jaws. At the rear is a courtyard with fishpond and a cave, but the former garden is now a vineyard.
