The elegant building, dating back to the early 18th century, was originally owned by the notary Francesco Villa, as evidenced by the stucco decoration of the central hall on the first floor where a small tower and the initials F and V appear, topped by a flag with the letter N.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the villa became the site of Carbonari meetings, so much so that on December 12, 1818, Antonio Villa, nephew of Francesco, a Carbonaro from Polesine, was arrested there, dying in the Spielberg prison along with his fellow townsman and friend Antonio Fortunato Oroboni.
In the Palace, now owned by the Fanan family, is home to one of the most important private music collections in Italy.
