Massimo ci conduce alla visita di una splendida villa-castello sita su una piccola altura della provincia di Vicenza: il castello di Montegalda.
Una localitĂ  che, non certo unica in Italia, merita assolutamente una accurata visita.

Un po' di storia:
Una torre di guardia era giĂ  presente dal III secolo a.C. per il controllo della strada che da Padova porta a Verona (Padana Superiore).
La torre fu successivamente ampliata e trasformata nel 1176 per difendere il territorio dai vicini padovani.
Tra il 1200 e il 1300 viene posseduto da Ezzelino da Romano, poi dalla famiglia degli Scaligeri e in seguito dai Visconti di Milano.
Dall’inizio del 1400, con il predominio della repubblica di Venezia, perde il suo ruolo militare per diventare un pregevole dimora come villa nobiliare.
Alla fine del ‘700 viene arricchito con affreschi di noti pittori locali diventando una dimora che compete con le ville palladiane.
A metĂ  degli anni ’70 la proprietĂ , con adeguato restauro, riporta il castello agli antichi splendori.

A bit of history:
A watchtower was already present in the 3rd century BC to control the road from Padua to Verona (Padana Superiore).
The tower was later enlarged and transformed in 1176 to defend the territory from the neighbouring Paduans.
Between 1200 and 1300 it was owned by Ezzelino da Romano, then by the Scaligeri family and later by the Visconti of Milan.
From the beginning of the 15th century, with the predominance of the Republic of Venice, it lost its military role to become a prestigious residence as a noble villa.
At the end of the 18th century it was enriched with frescoes by famous local painters, becoming a residence that rivaled the Palladian villas.
In the mid-1970s, the property, with appropriate restoration, brought the castle back to its former splendor.
