Villa Badoer at Fratta Polesine
Villa Badoer in Fratta Polesine, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, was designed in 1556 by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) for the Venetian noble Francesco Badoer, and built between 1557 and 1563 on the site of a medieval castle, which guarded a bridge across a navigable canal. This was the first time Palladio used his fully developed temple pediment in the façade of a villa. Villa Badoer has been part since 1996 of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto.'
