Villa Ravignani-Ruggeri

A testimony to the history and culture of Cavaion Veronese.

Located to the west of the Piazzola, it is a beautiful building whose original core dates back to the 16th century, but was modified in subsequent centuries; the last reconstruction dates back to 1923. It is a three-storey building whose architecture combines classical and neo-medieval themes: it has ashlar plaster on the ground floor and a balustrade with obelisks above the eaves cornice. The main body is flanked to the east by a turret crowned with Ghibelline merlons, while to the west another turret echoes the decorative elements of the façade. On the first floor, a pass-through hall overlooks the front courtyard with a balcony, while on the opposite side a door leads into the garden uphill of the building. In the courtyard of the palace are a well and the old stables; next to it is the lemon-house, embellished with four statues representing the seasons, and the inscription: 'Se oggi seren non è... doman seren sarà, e se non sarà sereno... si rasserenerà'. The villa has recently been restored.
