Calvagese buildings

House Zilioli, Terzago: (XVI century) Another example of the widespread type of house with a porch and overlapping loggia; widespread among us, but also in the various Alpine provinces near and far; just take the Canton Ticino between Lugano and Locarno or the Belluno area to see the repetition of this pattern that we would like to call Alpine. In this beautiful dwelling there is the particularity of the plant no longer linear, like many others, but to “L”, thus giving the house greater comfort, and also great elegance for that movement of arches and columns from various perspectives. Round arches and Tuscan style stone columns that denote the sixteenth century construction.
