In 1588, the Barbarigo family had commissioned the building from a generally unknown Veronese architect, who was familiar with Andrea Palladio's works. In the 1620s, the villa passed through marriage to the Loredan family, who owned it until 1755, when it passed to the Rezzonico.
The structure is imposing for its height and elaborate adornment of loggias and porticos. The villa is notable for its fresco decorations by artists such as Antonio Foler, Antonio Vassilacchi (the Aliense), and Luca Ferrari from Reggio.Scheda sul sito del Comune di Noventa
