Villa Cordellina Lombardi<\/strong> is one of the most important 18th-century villas in the Vicenza area<\/strong>, located in Montecchio Maggiore<\/strong>. It represents a perfect example of a representative residence from the Age of Enlightenment, where architecture, painting, and garden harmoniously interact. <\/p>\n The villa was built at the behest of the Venetian Carlo Cordellina<\/strong>, a jurist of Vicenza origin who had settled in Venice.
