Description
We are located in Fumane, in the heart of Valpolicella, among vineyards and historic homes not far from the city of Verona and Lake Garda. This important Villa, nestled on the first slopes of the hill, maintains the charm of an elegant residence dating back to the early twentieth century. Its architecture provokes admiration, inspiring respect and confidentiality in its harmony.
After passing the important entrance gate, we enter the park of the estate, completely surrounded by vineyards and full of trees of various essences that surround the large swimming pool.
The villa is made up of two main bodies. It develops on two floors above ground, united and harmonized by the construction of a turret, the fulcrum and heart of the house. The tower, almost oval in shape, in reinforced concrete, encloses the internal staircase, alongside whose walls large windows have been created which illuminate the rooms, creating a visual encounter with the large trees in the garden.
Entering the villa we are greeted by the large entrance lounge from which the spaces branch off. We find, therefore, on the left, a large tavern area with a vaulted ceiling, a billiard table, a large dining area dominated by a large fireplace, a storage room, a laundry room, a bathroom serving the swimming pool and the technical rooms with the thermal power plant. On the right of the entrance there is the gym room with the staircase leading to the cellar and the large garage. On the first floor we find the imposing living area made up of spaces played on several levels and the elevation of the ceilings which create a harmony unique among the dining room, the living room, the study, and the living room which leads to the large party loggia overlooking the garden. The sleeping area consists of a bedroom (suite) with walk-in closet and master bathroom, a large second bathroom and a room/study. On the upper floor we find a large lounge area, two other double bedrooms with two bathrooms and a dressing room.
3 HISTORICAL NOTES
The historical construction plan of the residence dates back to the period following the construction of the sixteenth-century Villa Palazzo della Torre . The proximity of the property in question to this prestigious residence enhances the exclusivity of the overall context in which it is inserted. The beauty of the natural environment is protected by the historical-environmental assets of the area which impose constraints and limitations on the possibility of building new buildings in the surrounding area. The property was renovated and expanded by the famous architect Libero Cecchini, who distinguished himself nationally and internationally for the conservative restoration of monuments, the recovery of the landscape, the design of villas, residential complexes and public structures. The architect Libero Cecchini graduated from the school of the architect Ettore Fagiuoli, master of Veronese Liberty.
The material plasticism of Le Corbusier, the spatiality of Van Der Rohe and the organicism of Wright are recognizable in his work. This combination creates a Modern and rationalist style which is completed in the Nature/History/Architecture relationship.
The architect Cecchini, in the design study of this magnificent villa, merges the plasticity of reinforced concrete used as a material of exchange between the architectural elements of the past represented by the wooden beams, the barrel vaults with the ovoid staircase punctuated in the elevation by the steps climbing ramps in marble, connected to the enormous windows that play on the dimensions of light and space, then re-proposed in the trusses of the hall harmonized in the rise of the full-height roof. In his material research, architect Cecchini has intertwined the use of important and unique materials such as Verona marble, Carrara white and oak wood, making the whole truly special and unique.--bfd7fa55fbacdbb701e831108b77ad54!
