Villa Novare

One more pic from Villa Novare.

Villa Novare #3

I hope you won't mind me posting more photos from Villa Novare... I like them so much I can't help myself...

This is a detail of the private church's entrance.

Villa Novare #2

I liked so much this place and I want to show you some details of the statues. Obviously I couldn't go inside on the private lawn but I could admire the facade of the little private church whose entrance opens directly on the path in front of the villa's gates.

This is only one of the many ancient villas scattered throughout the country around Verona. Most of them are private but some can be visited: check this site Ville Venete Net

(I linked the page of the villas in the province of Verona but if you go to the home page you can find the villas of the whole region).

Villa Novare

I drove into the country the other day, just a few miles from Verona, in the hills of Valpolicella, famous for the wine production.

Reaching the village of Arbizzano my attention was drawn by a small sign indicating "Villa Novare". I turned into the small driveway and after a few hundred meters into the vines, I found myself in front of this beautiful XVIIIth century villa. There was no one in sight, the air was still and the sun shone. I got out of the car and took a few photos...
