Villa Tesoriera (1713)


The Villa Tesoriera is a villa in Turin surrounded by a vast garden open to the public. The house is called La Tesoriera (The Treasurer) because it was built, in 1713, for the powerful State Councilor and General Treasurer, Aymo Ferrero of Cocconato. The architect was Jacopo Maggi, who was inspired by the Guarino Guarini's style.

Pietro,these are exquisite. The fountain against the snow is wonderful & I love the contrast of the dark benches against the soft backdrop.

It does look like our landscape - just as flat! But yours is more elegant, mine are cow pastures and canals when they are not frozen :-)

Pietro, these are so beautiful. Perfect winter photos. I love them both!

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Have a great weekend!

What a lovely place. Such harmony and, as Thyme says, elegance. The snow magically transforms your photos into paintings! Beautiful, Pietro.

What an wonderful building, Pietro.
With these shade of white and grey, it's seems very classic and elegant. Strange, they let the fountain working with this cold.

It's quite a building!
With fine and geometrical lines.
And the landscape is amazing.

"Louis" thanks you for your frequent visits. He's been so busy with his new espresso shop, he's had little time to reciprocate.
