Inside Villa Arvedi, located in Grezzana, there is a beautiful Room of the Titans with frescoes by Ludovico Dorigny, who between 1717 and 1720 added a series of mythological figures within a pre-existing, complex painted framework, attributed almost certainly to Bologna-born Francesco Bibiena, master of trompe-l’œil and forced perspective.
The combined result is an example of perfect harmony and symbiosis between illusionistic frame and figurative parts, inside one of the largest villas in the province of Verona, Veneto.
