Villa Barbarigo, also known as Villa Barbarigo Loredan Rezzonico for its succession of aristocratic owners, is a patrician villa commissioned in 1588 in Noventa Vicentina, in the province of Vicenza in northern Italy, designed by an architect whose name is not recorded but who was familiar with the work of Andrea Palladio. The building shows Renaissance architectural principles in the imposing height and elaborate loggias and porticos of its facade, and it is notable for fresco decorations by artists including Antonio Foler, Antonio Vassilacchi known as the Aliense, and Luca Ferrari of Reggio. The villa today serves as the town hall of Noventa Vicentina.
