Palazzo Lippomano Monti ora Viaro

The architectural features of Palazzo Lippomano Monti suggest that its construction dates back to the 18th century (F.B.), although other sources would date the building to the first half of the seventeenth century, commissioned by the Labia family.
The complex, which stands at the corner of two streets that converge into a square where the parish church of Fratta overlooks, consists of a central body elevated on three floors, with a hipped roof, and two curved wings that embrace the small courtyard to form a semicircle.
In the Austrian Cadastre of 1852, the house is owned by Giovanni Monti, a leveling officer of the noble Gaspare Lippomano; the rustic property, on the other hand, belongs to his brother Giacomo, also a leveling officer of the same Lippomano.
The Monti brothers were both affiliated with the Carboneria.
The great-grandson, Giovanni, born in this palace in January 1900, after a long military career as a pilot, established and still holds the speed record with a seaplane (500 Km/h), as evidenced by the plaque visible on the noble facade.
