It is possible to access the grounds of the estate through the vast nineteenth-century park, where visitors will note the elegant Cedars of Lebanon. In addition to craftwork and statues of the eighteenth century, the park contains two works produced by modern artists: a sculpture entitled ‘Education of the Soul’ by Maurizio D’Agostini and Paolo Gallerani’s ‘The Great Wheel’.

In the cycle of frescoes (1714) that decorate the ‘piano nobile’ in the central part of the villa Francesco Aviani created a series of illustrations that celebrate various traditional arts and crafts, including painting, sculpture, astronomy, architecture, music and literature.

The name of this large room refers to the presence of ten statues which depict the gods of antiquity. From this hall it is possible to access the park behind the villa and the vineyards.

Originally an area occupied by stables, this space was transformed into a museum after the Second World War to present a large collection of old weapons.

From the architectural point of view, the portico of the Barchessa is the greatest achievement of the entire Villa Montruglio complex. A predominant characteristic of the external wing is the ochre-coloured Nanto stone.

Stone from the Nanto area has been used by sculptors and architects since the sixteenth century on account of its attractive golden colour and its ductile characteristics when worked at the quarry. At Montruglio this type of stone is found not only in the portico of the Barchessa, but also in the mouldings of the windows and doors of the villa itself and other architectural elements of the main court.
