Villa Arrigona, in San Giacomo delle Segnate, Province of Mantua, Italy, was built between 1619 and 1622 on the commission of Count Pompeo Arrigoni, of the noble Arrigoni family, to the architect Antonio Maria Viani, already in the service of the Gonzagas of Mantua. It is one of the most important villas of the province.[1]
The villa, made up of several buildings, was a stately country residence and was usually inhabited seasonally. Built on two floors with adjoining late Baroque oratory, park and cultivated land. The façade is characterized by a tympanum reminiscent of Palazzo Te, under which the large stone family coat of arms stands out.
2012 Earthquake and Reconstruction
The villa suffered extensive damage as a result of an earthquake in May 2012. [2] The timing of the quake was only days before it was planned to be opened to the public, with the damage causing it to be declared unfit for habitation by a municipal ordinance. The reconstruction project cost 5.1 million euros, funded almost entirely by its local region of Lombardy.[2] The main buildings were reconstructed to withstand future earthquakes by the architecture firm Lorenzo, and declared fit for habitation in April 2019.[2]
