Caldogno is a town and ''comune'' near Vicenza in Italy. It has a population of 11,337 inhabitants. The Villa Caldogno Nordera in its territory is attributed to architect Andrea Palladio. It is the birthplace of the football player Roberto Baggio. Physical geography Caldogno rises on a completely flat territory where the Timonchio river flows. Caldogno borders: * to the north and north-east with Villaverla; * to the east with Dueville; * to the south with Vicenza; * to the south-west with Costabissara; * to the north-west with Isola Vicentina. Origins of the name Caldogno In Roman times, Caldogno was the village located six miles away from the city and placed at the lower decumanus of the Vicentine Agro Centuriato of Thiene. For this reason, unlike other municipalities that have this particular location (such as Sesto San Giovanni in the province of Milan, but also Quarto d'Altino in Venice or Noventa Vicentina in Vicenza), it is strange that the name of the municipalit ...

Villa Caldogno Nordera
Villa Caldogno (also known as Caldogno Nordera) is a villa in the Veneto region of Italy, which is attributed to Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. It was built for the aristocratic Caldogno family on their estate in the village of Caldogno near Vicenza. It is also known as the "Villa Nordera" after Dr. Ettore Nordera who owned the property through a large part of the 20th century. History A Latin inscription on the facade (''Angelus Calidonius Luschi Filius MDLXX'') dates the completion of the building to 1570 when it belonged to Angelo Caldogno. However, Angelo's father, Losco Caldogno, appears to have started to build in the 1540s, probably incorporating walls from a pre-existing building. 1570 is possibly the date of the completion of the villa's decorative scheme. The villa is not included in ''I quattro libri dell'architettura'', Palladio's treatise of 1570, in which the architect discussed a number of his creations. However, it is similar to certain villas, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Villaverla
Villaverla is a town in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. It is west of SP349 and south of A31. Origins From Roman times, the original name of the nearby village that eventually became Villaverla was "Roveredum." The center of that first village was likely located in the area where April 25th Road and Roare Road intersect, suggested by archaeological finds at an old brickyard nearby (Roman coins and traces of arched brick walls of Roman origin.) Around 1004 AD, Giovanni Verla (Giovanni of Werla) and perhaps other of his family members, came from the area of Werlaburgdorf Germany with Holy Roman Emperor Henry II in a military campaign to put down a revolt by Arduin, Marquis of Ivrea. Giovanni and his relatives (originally referred to as the Werlas, later as Verlas or Verlatti, and today Verlato) were subsequently granted land by the Emperor in the towns of Thiene, Zane and what was then Roveredum. The name "Villaverla" literally means "Village of the Verla." This was a refl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
