Comune di Sovramonte

Villa San Liberale, situated along avenue of Cart, surrounded by a green park, is a typical example of a country house as a place of recreation. The origins date back to 1644 when the family Villabruna bought the property, which was sold in 1650 to the notary Gavazzi who had obtained license in 1649 to build a chapel to St. Liberal. The property was then acquired in 1688 by the notary Vellaio, who restored the chapel to its current appearance for the wedding of his daughter Francesca with the noble Giambattista Zugni in 1746. In 1814 the complex was sold to the Bianco family; Antonio Bianco married Teresita Fusinato, daughter of the poets Arnaldo and Erminia Fua, who managed to publish "Confessions of an Italian", a romance written by their young friend Ippolito Nievo, tragically died, and hosted in the villa the famous poet Carducci. Erminia was born in 1884, and married the Marquis Di Gaetano Palici Suni Planargia; hence the name "Erminia". In 2000, the house was sold to the current owners. Villa San Liberale has two double rooms and two suites for four people.
