Villa Godi in Lugo di Vicenza was designed by Andrea Palladio for the brothers Girolamo, Pietro and Marcantonio Godi. The text says construction ran from 1537 to 1542, with later changes to the rear entry and gardens. The infobox gives no construction dates, only the UNESCO inscription in 1994 and extension in 1996.
The article calls it early Palladian work and says it lacks the ornamentation usually linked to his mature work. It names no materials. The site covers 6.9 acres (2.78 hectares).
A park was laid out in the 19th century, and the villa served as a film location for Senso. It is open to the public in the afternoons year-round, and the basement houses an archaeology museum with regional fossils. The article gives no ticket prices.
