Discusses the villa designed in 1835 by architect Giuseppe Jappelli for Giovanni Antonio de Manzoni. The villa was acquired by the provincial administration of Belluno in 1977, about a century from the economic collapse of the noble family. Since 1980, the Province has planned to give it the restoration of architectural dignity and appropriate cultural enjoyment. Kept in the villa there are two extraordinary frescoes that adorn the halls: Aesop which tells the tales of Peter Paoletti and the struggle of the Spartans by Giovanni De Min.
