Your journey begins on the morning of Saturday 19th October at Villa La Rotonda, where you can partake in the Heritage experience “Splendid Interiors” and admire a unique blend of architecture and nature. You’ll discover the hidden secrets of the Villa’s interior décor and the difference between Palladio’s project and the actual Villa built.

In the afternoon you can take part in a Heritage experience – a unique guided tour that takes you behind the scenes of “The 16th century Oppression at Villa Gualda” performance being held at Villa Gualda (20 minutes from Villa La Rotonda). You’ll see a reenactment of the misdeeds of the Gualdo Counts, the Villa’s former owners. Following this, you can visit Villa Gualda, which will include a narration describing the Villa in the 16th century.
