Villa Ghellini was built by the Ghellini family in the second half of the Seventeenth century on the remains of previous constructions, driven by the rivalry with the Verlato family, due to the struggle for dominance over the town. Designed by the architect Antonio Pizzocaro, it remained unfinished at his death due to the family's economic problems.
This is why even today it is possible to see the northern wing interrupted.
The Villa is conceived as a medieval castle; in fact, at its center, it had a parade ground evoked in the courtyard and reminiscent of a Roman villa with the peristyle that develops on three sides.
During the War, it was a place of rest and refreshment for soldiers returning from the front, and it was also hit by an aerial bomb.
Today, the Villa is owned by the Municipality.
Some internal rooms in Baroque style are open to the public, including the "Sala dei caminetti".
