From the center of Abano, towards Padua, the tall and mighty Villa Moro Malipiero appears, now owned by the Counts Rigoni Savioli.
Villa Rigoni Savioli is a Palladian style villa commissioned by Nicolò Malipiero in 1557.
The facade of the luxury villa Italia is made up of four Ionic semi-columns supporting a large pediment; the staircase, flanked by two white stone statues of costozza, like those found on the three doors, leads to the main room of the noble floor or "noble floor". On the ground floor there is a splendid cellar with barrel vaults.
The great ballroom, which once occupied both floors of the central part of the house, was divided after the French Revolution leaving the upper half intact, while the lower half was divided into five portions. The villa is surrounded by a garden and three orchards. It is equipped with various barns and a dovecote or “colombara” tower.
In the orchard behind it there is a well of thermal water, damaged during the last war. Another architectural gem of the estate is a still consecrated chapel.
The paintings evoke scenes from the Bible such as David and Goliath, Moses, as well as the chivalrous epic of Angelica and Rinaldo; symbolic scenes such as Envy, Fortress and mythological scenes such as the fall of Phaeton. The whole is framed by stuccoes and monochrome figures. The interior is beautifully preserved and carefully guarded.
Many of the rooms contain frescoes by Gian Battista Zelotti, a pupil of Veronese.
The scagliola and marble fireplace and the fresco of a young Page offering a bouquet of flowers around a door are also very beautiful.
