Inside the fabbrica , the central space is a cross space. This architectural solution attributes to the whole construction the character of the building to a central plan. This body of fabbrica — a type of parallelepipedal is characterized by an exceptional architectural element marking vigorously its external image towards the Brenta River: a portico, specifically a hexastyle ionic portico , that reproduces the typology of a temple of ancient Rome.
The villa provides especially effective evidence of the ability of Palladio to achieve monumental effects while using poor materials, basically brick and plaster.
The degradation of the surfaces clearly shows that the villa is built in brick, including the columns with the exception of the elements that are more easily derived from stone, including the bases and capitals , with a marble-effect plaster that imitates the effect of a stone surface with an ashlar effect, similar to what used to at times be visible on the naos of the ancient temples.
