Cordovado

The residential building, constructed in the 18th century (1795-1796), features a central body, which develops over two floors plus an attic, to which the slightly lower wings are connected. 

The front facade, facing the public road, is punctuated by numerous rectangular openings arranged symmetrically with respect to the main entrance, consisting of an arched portal, preceded by a double staircase. The rear front, facing the garden, is characterized by an arched gate, surmounted by a French door with a small balcony and simple rectangular openings. The rustic outbuildings, older than the main house (prior to 1737), consist of three bodies that house the farmhouse, stables, granary, and the follador. Some interventions have modified the original interiors, but the layout of the spaces with a central passing hall and side rooms is still readable. In the first half of the 19th century, the villa became the “holiday home” of the illustrious philosopher and writer Girolamo Venanzio (1791-1871). In 1855 it was sold to the priest Giacomo Lovisoni and in 1878 it was purchased by the Segalotti family, then passed by succession to the Iseppi family. 

The Segalotti family owned the industrial mill that arose on the site of the ancient mill of Cordovado. 

At the road intersection in front (between via Roma and via al Tiglio) in a 1730 map, a small chapel was represented.
