Villa Arvedi d’Emilei

Villa Arvedi d’Emilei it is located in the hamlet of Cavalcaselle, along the highway that leads from Peschiera to Verona

Villa Arvedi d’Emilei it can be reached by a long avenue of cypresses, but access has been modified over time by the construction of the railway and then by the state road. The complex was bought in 1408 by the Venetian nobleman Nicolò Grimani, then passed to the fregoso, to da Monte, to the Maffei and in 1665 to the Pompeii Emilei; over time it has gone from purely agricultural forms to the refined ones of the Venetian villa. It is elegantly symmetrical and elongated, with a central staircase, divided into two ramps, leading to the three arches of the entrance. The noble family of the Emilei had in ancient times been the domain of this fraction of the Commune, as attested in the documents kept by the family in its archives. Now the villa is used as a wine farm.
