Giacomo Zanella, abbot and poet of Vicenza, was inspired by the evocative scenery of Villa Godi Malinverni to compose some of his poems of the “Astichello” collection. In this collection you can notice the inclination of the poet towards the most intimate and fleeting aspects of the nature.

Domestic, familiar pictures, rural setting, the melancholy feeling of the countryside, , the genuine, sincere love for the nature: these are the main aspects of the poetic vision of Palladio and at the same time the feelings that Villa Godi Malinverni still allows its tourists to experience.
