Famous Villas in Northern Italy

Italy is a prolific country to architecture enthusiasts. In Northern areas, there are many medieval villas famous for their historic, artistic and architectonic features. Although some of them became hotels, such as Villa Serbelloni, others are only open to guided visitation. These villas have attracted famous visitors over the years. After visiting Villa Rotonda, German writer Goethe said: "Maybe never architectural art has reached such a level of magnificence," claims Villa Rotonda's website.
