The Villa Pisani is a patrician villa outside the city walls of Montagnana, Veneto, northern Italy. It was designed by Andrea Palladio about 1552, for Cardinal Francesco Pisani. Pisani was also a patron of the painters Paolo Veronese and Giambattista Maganza and the sculptor Alessandro Vittoria, who provided sculptures of the Four Seasons for the villa, which is in fact provided with fireplaces to dispel winter chill. Unlike more typical Palladian villas — and their imitations in Britain, Germany and the United States — the Villa Pisani at Montagnana combines an urban front, (illustration) facing a piazza of the comune, and, on the other side, a rural frontage extending into gardens, with an agricultural setting beyond.
