History

Just outside of Verona where the hills of Arbizzano announce the beginning of Valpolicella Classic Area, rises the ancient house: Villa Dall'Abaco - Fedrigoni. In 1898 Antonio Fedrigoni bought this house from an heir of the family Dall'Abaco and, together with his progenies, turned it to a flourish winery that became immediately popular. But even more popular are the past vicissitudes of the Villa. In fact, in the middle of the XVII century, the cellist and composer Josef Clemens Dall'Abaco, first-born of Evaristo Felice (konzermeister and counselor of the Prince of Munich Massimiliano Emanuele II Wittelsbach), decided to spend the last years of his life in this house, after an entire life passed in Germany, as a baroque musician at the royal court. The Villa is immersed in a luxuriant park, and represents the typical Venetian house of the five hundreds, at the same time posh and rural. The facade is a nineteenth-century form, but the decorations and the internal stuccos go back to the eighteenth-century.
