Detail InformationEdit

Villa Cornaro is a patrician villa in Piombino Dese, about 30 km northwest of Venice, Italy. It was designed by the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in 1552 and is illustrated and described by him in Book Two of his 1570 masterwork, I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura [The Four Books on Architecture].
Villa Cornaro was substantially constructed in 1553-1554, with additional work into the 1590s, for Giorgio Cornaro, younger son of a wealthy Venetian family. It represents one of the most remarkable examples of a Renaissance villa.
Richard Rush purchased the Villa Cornaro in 1969 from an organization of the Italian Government dedicated to preserving the national monuments of Italy in the Veneto (L’Ente Per Le Ville Venete). He and his wife, Julia, restored the villa and furnished it with antiques over a period of twenty years. The villa is presently owned by Carl and Sally Gable, of Atlanta, Georgia, who purchased it from Dr. Rush in 1989. Since 1996 the villa has been conserved as part of a World Heritage Site, “City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto”.
