The Palazzina of Villa Valmarana ai Nani, an 18th-century masterpiece on the outskirts of Vicenza, forms the monumental heart of a complex renowned throughout the world for the extraordinary cycle of frescoes painted in 1757 by Giambattista Tiepolo. Inside, the artist’s mastery brings to life the great themes of classical and chivalric epics, decorating the rooms with scenes from the *Iliad*, the *Aeneid*, *Orlando Furioso* and *Gerusalemme Liberata*. The building, which blends the intimacy of a historic residence with the grandeur of universal art, overlooks a picturesque park featuring an Italian-style garden and the famous boundary wall guarded by the 17 dwarf statues that give the property its name. As well as being a museum of excellence open to the public 364 days a year (excluding Christmas), the Palazzina serves as an exclusive venue for weddings, gala dinners, business events and photo shoots, offering a perfect blend of history and innovation.
