Villa Emo in Fanzolo was designed by Andrea Palladio for Leonardo Emo. The article estimates the design at 1555 or 1558 and construction at 1558 to 1561, with completion put at 1565 from a marriage document. The infobox gives no construction dates, and the dates are uncertain.
The article describes Palladio's later period, with a simple exterior, mathematical proportions, a Tuscan-order loggia and long side wings, or barchesses. It is brick with a plaster finish, with frescoes by Giovanni Battista Zelotti completed by about 1566. It gives no measured dimensions.
Francesco Muttoni made alterations in 1744, and ceilings were altered in 1937 to 1940. The Emo family held the villa until it was sold in 2004. It joined a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The article gives no hours.
