Villa Arnaldi is a work designed by Palladio in 1547 and remains unfinished.
Vincenzo Arnaldi, an influential aristocrat from Vicenza, commissioned the renovation of a 15th-century agricultural complex that he had just purchased to increase its real estate value. However, in 1565, the work was interrupted and the house was rented out.
Palladio attempted to regularize the buildings facing the courtyard, finding a symmetry, reorganizing them around a loggia with three existing arches.
