Villa Citterio

From the cadastral maps of the 16th century, Villa Citterio appears as a fortified house located at the end of the town, located along the central fountain. It was called, until the 19th century, the house of the Ponte de Capitani d'Arzago, probably due to the existence of a fortified bridge that overlooked the fountain. A particular architectural example due to the absence of a representative facade towards the outside, perhaps because it was built on the remains of the Castle whose ruins were visible until 1858. With a single courtyard with a quadrilateral plan, in the 18th century it was transformed into a residential palace with the narrowing of the main courtyard, the opening of the portico on the north side and the creation of a service courtyard, the farmhouse. From 1845 it was called "la ca' de l'or" at the same time as the opening of the artisan trimmings workshop which remained active until the first decades of the 20th century. The Villa was then inherited by the Citterio family. The complex, after a thorough renovation, became municipal property, home to the Senior Citizens Centre.
