THE FRESCOES by Gregorio LAZZARINI for the entrance portago in VILLA BISCARO ZENOBIO (1701)

Speranza

These are beautiful things.

VILLA ZENOBIO obviously belonged to the ZENOBIO family.

Oddly, it originally beolonged to DOMENICO BISCARO.

It was sold to STEFANO MORELLATO.

Later it was owned by the Franceschi, Sebastiano UCCELLI, and finally the ZENOBIO, Venetian patricians.

The frescoes include
ANGELICA e MEDORO
ERCOLE ed ONFALE
RINALDO ed ARMIDA
