Villa Bice

Even though the 1980 officially sanctioned the presence of Umbrella, since 1974 Evelina Bazzo chooses the historical spaces of Villa Bice, still Farsetti Ravà, just outside Treviso’s wall, to exercise her profession as communicator.

Still today Umbrella’s headquarter, the villa, built in the late eighteenth century by the venetian patrician Giuseppe Tommaso Farsetti, consists of a residential central body flanked by two slightly lower and arrears symmetrical volumes, which face towards the main road; inside, the frescoes of the famous painter Francesco Domenico Fontebasso, a contemporary of Tiepolo and active in the eighteenth century venetian area, decorate common areas - the entrance hall, stairs and the first floor hall - giving all building an impressive and unique atmosphere. Villa Bice is also completed by its park, rich of secular trees.

A dedicated book is going to be published in October 2011.

In this context Umbrella works since over thirty years, organizing and preserving many important documents.
