Villa La Montara

Corte La Montara was built in the sixteenth century as a massive building, of simple shapes, with two "colombare" towers for defensive purposes at the ends of the front elevation. A brick house resting on the western side of the manor house and two thatched houses for the storage of tools and workers were placed to complete the settlement.

Between the end of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the manor house underwent a radical change of forms and intended use; the fashion of the time dictated in fact to transform country houses from productive buildings linked to agricultural activities into sumptuous villas, modeled on the buildings of the city. No exception was La Montara, which was transformed into an elegant building with central body decorated with rustication in the lower part and pilasters in the upper part, arched portal with tuff jambs and tympanum embellished with five statues attributed to the sculptor Lorenzo Muttoni, depicting Bacchus and four female divinities. The frescoes in the internal halls of the Villa can be attributed at least in part to the painter Marco Marcola: he had in fact already been at the service of the Carli family for the frescoes of Palazzo Carli in Verona, and frequently worked together with the sculptor Muttoni in various villas in the Verona area.

Inside the Montara complex, the chapel dedicated to San Carlo Borromeo stands out.

The restoration project of the Villa also included attention to the green spaces: the garden was recreated.
