Villa Foscari, also known as La Malcontenta, is a Venetian villa located in the municipality of Mira, in the Veneto region of Italy. It was designed by the renowned architect Andrea Palladio in the 16th century for the Foscari family.
The villa is considered one of Palladio's masterpieces and is a prime example of his architectural style, which is characterized by symmetry, proportion, and classical elements such as columns, pediments, and arches. Villa Foscari was completed in 1560 and features a central block flanked by two wings, all united by a colonnade.
The villa's name, La Malcontenta, means "the discontented one" in Italian, and is said to refer to a young bride who was confined to the villa by her jealous husband. Despite this dark legend, Villa Foscari is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Today, Villa Foscari is privately owned and is occasionally open to the public for tours. It is a popular destination for art and architecture enthusiasts visiting the Veneto region.
