THE FRESCOES by Domenico BRUNI and Pietro LIBERI for the FORESTERIA in VILLA FOSCARINI (1652)

Speranza

This is a beautiful foresteria.

The villa belonged to JACOPO FOSCARINI, procurator of SAN MARCO, chief admiral, and hero of the war against the Turks in CURZOLA.

The foresteria was built by Jacobo Foscarini's heirs.

It is situated to the side of and slightly behind the main house.
