Ex cinno Posted December 10, 2014 Hi everybody! Here I want share with you my last project, the Villa Pisani Bonetti, an original architectural design by the noted italian architect Andrea Palladio, built back in 1570. In 1996, UNESCO included the Villa in the World Heritage Site list: "City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto" (you can check out more here: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/712) By now I have only built the exterior of the Villa, which is composed of about 10.000 pieces. I have already created the interiors with Ldd program too, but it will take around 4.000 piecest more, so I maybe will complete the full project at a later time.

cgarison Posted December 11, 2014 I have dreams of producing a building on that scale. But your MOC makes my dreams look so puny. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 11, 2014 Fine - this got a nice Italian style to it. But I see, you're from Italy (that might have been an advantage ) A very elegant building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 12, 2014 In my spare time I'm working on a projec of an Italian villa where I used to play when I was a child ... I do not know if the project will see the end but surely the Italian style has a great fashion for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heksu Posted December 13, 2014 Very nice! Maybe some vegetation or something like that in front of the building could give little bit more life to your impressive creation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex cinno Posted December 13, 2014 Very nice! Maybe some vegetation or something like that in front of the building could give little bit more life to your impressive creation? You are right Heksu, but my wife is already worried about the space that occupies the villa. Not to mention the one that occupies the rest of my collection ...

Ex cinno Posted November 15, 2015 Hello. Here some small changes to my moc Villa Pisani Bonetti:the gable now looks lighter. I take this opportunity to report that on 21 and 22 November Villa Pisani Bonetti will be exposed to the Bologna Model Game 2015.

Hobbythom Posted November 16, 2015 Very impressive build. It reminds me of the Villa Borghese. An interior would surely be amazingly detailed. A park or garden surrounding the villa would probably also add tons of flavour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jourianbax Posted November 16, 2015 Amazing! It would be awesome if you can put some 'life'in the model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex cinno Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) While waiting for bricklayers to build the surrounding wall , some big green trees have grown just around my Palladian Villa Pisani, just in time to welcome the first guests invited to the Masquerade Ball. What better occasion to wear my new original Lego t-shirt coming straight from my daughter’s trip to Hong Kong this summer? I really enjoyed taking part at the amazing event “Collego la mente ”, held last week near my city, Bologna, Italy and show my latest moc updates!
