Villa Dionisi was designed by the marquis Gabriele Dionisi in 1700.
It has a typical large English-style lawn with remains of statues and a cave leading to a “giassara” (an ice-house) adorned with caryatids. Considered the symbol of Cerea by lots of people, it is one of the most characteristic examples of the sumptuous eighteenth-century mansions. The villa houses the Museum of Applied Arts in Furniture.
