Villa Pisani at Bagnolo in the vicinity of Vicenza (completed in 1544), one of the most interesting works of Andreo Palladio, has been subjected to preservation operations starting from 1975. Conservation works were designed by a Polish architect, Andrzej Pereświet-Sołtan, a graduate Of Architectural Faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, who has been living in Italy for several years. A. Pereświet-Sołtan has consulted his design and programme with Professor Pietro Gazzola of Verona and Professor Renato Levese of Vizenza. It was finally approved in 1977 by Sopritendenza ai Monumenti di Verona. The costs involved in carrying out the works are borne by the family of Ferri (present owners of Villa Pisani) with some assistance from the society of Ente per le Ville Venete. The programme of conservation works at Villa Pisani in Bagnolo has been contained in nine points: (1) to lower the level of the site around the Villa, (2) to dig out cellars and protect walls against dampness, (3) to open arcades of the loggia and to remove walls partitioning its interior, (4) to remove a small balcony in the main hall joining two parts of the house at the first-floor level, (5) to restore original dimensions of the door and window openings made smaller in the 19th century and to equip'them with shutters; in addition to this, to unwall a thermal window in the western elevation lighting up the main hall; (6) to renew wooden ceilings and floors and to replace plasters; (7) to redecorate staircases; (8) to restore the original shape of the roof, (9) to renew inside paintings al fresco. The works are just under way. Some of the points of this programme have already been accomplished. The works are to be totally completed in 1980; this will be also the year of the four- hundredth anniversary of the death of Andreo Palladio.
