In the early years of the twentieth century the lawyer Liberal Deputy Ugo Da Como bought the property at an auction and, aware of its historical value, had it restored by one of the greatest architects of the time in Brescia, Antonio Tagliaferri (1835-1909). With the restoration, the building was restored to its former glory, completed by furnishings and accessories at the height and transformed into a house-museum. Inside it also houses a collection of paintings ranging from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, a beautiful library that includes more than 50,000 volumes, rare specimens of the twelfth century, scrolls, antique prints, 470 manuscripts and letters by Ugo Foscolo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/lonato-casa-del-podesta-rid.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25750 size-medium\" title=\"House of Podest\u00e0 Lonato del Garda\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/lonato-casa-del-podesta-rid-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"House of Podest\u00e0 Lonato del Garda\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House of Podest\u00e0 of Lonato stands in the middle of a monumental complex of great charm, inhabited [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[],"comune":[],"localita":[102],"class_list":["post-18135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-buildings-monuments-and-squares","localita-lonato-del-garda"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18135"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30695,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18135\/revisions\/30695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18135"},{"taxonomy":"comune","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comune?post=18135"},{"taxonomy":"localita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/localita?post=18135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
