Villa Spineda Loredan project - Montebelluna

The complex of Villa Spineda-Gasparini-Loredan is located in the village of Venegazzù of Volpago in Montello (Treviso). The villa is believed to have been designed and the construction project followed by F. M. Preti (1701-1774) and his pupil, G. Miazzi (1698-1797). In 1996, the complex was purchased by Benetton Sport System, who requested a preliminary study project aimed at analyzing the state of preservation and original techniques for all the architectural surfaces of the central Villa, the two Barchesse on either side, the small church, the stables and the surrounding wall. All these structures were covered in “marmorino” plaster that was traditionally and historically used in Veneto. The study was extended to the statues and sculpture groups standing positioned on top of the buildings. The analysis included targeted scientific investigations and mapping of the degradation of all the surfaces along with reinforcement tests and surface treatment. A full restoration followed the conclusions of the study (see "Stone Materials and stuccoes").
