Villa Valmarana ai Nani Site Features

Giambattista's Iliad room

The sacrifice of Iphigenia, with painted architecture opening the ceiling -- illusionism at the top of its form.

Giandomenico's Foresteria

Peasants at a meal, carnival crowds, a Chinese fantasy room. Painting about ordinary life, decades before that became normal.

The seventeen dwarves

Stone figures along the garden wall, and the source of the villa's name.

The walk to La Rotonda

A footpath through fields links the villa to Villa La Rotonda a few minutes away; the two are naturally visited together.
