   • Vicenza, Italy
   • Sights › Square, plaza

   Villa Valmarana ‘ai Nani is covered with sublime 1757 frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo and his son Giandomenico. Giambattista painted the Palazzina wing with his signature mythological epics, while his son painted the Foresteria with fanciful, themed rural, carnival and Chinese rooms. Nicknamed ‘ai Nani’ (gnomes) for the 17 garden gnome statues around the garden walls, this estate is a superb spot for a summer concert; check dates online.
