In the heart of the charming village of Arquà Petrarca, just a few steps from the famous House of Petrarch, stands Casa Strozzi, a refined building of Renaissance origins that testifies to the link between the village and the great Italian noble families.
The villa was built in the XV century at the behest of the Struzzi family, one of the most influential in Florence, known for its patronage and strong involvement in the political and cultural life of the Renaissance. The architecture of the house reflects the elegance of aristocratic residences of the period, with sober lines and harmonious proportions that blend perfectly with the Euganean hillside setting.
The mansion features an imposing façade of local stone and interior rooms that in the past housed illustrious personalities of culture and literature. Over the centuries, the building has undergone several changes of ownership and use, from oil mill to village cinema, while keeping its historical identity intact.
The structure has in the past housed the Coppercin-Giuseppin art gallery.
