Villa de Marchi-Ottelio-de Carvalho is located in Ottelio, a locality in the municipality of Manzano, in the province of Udine. It is located on a hillock on the border with the municipalities of Buttrio and Premariacco. It can be reached via a road that starts from the Buttrio hills.
The Villa can be reached by car from Buttrio (via Rieppi) while it can be reached from Manzano (via Orsaria) with a very suggestive mixed car / pedestrian route.
The construction dates back to the XVII-XVIII. century. On a terraced courtyard from where you can admire the surrounding landscape, stands the villa, built by the will of the de Marchi family of Udine, to serve as the headquarters of the farm that they wanted to start. Around 1769 the property passed to the family of the Ottelio counts. Later the Countess Bianca Emo Capodilista in Papafava took over the property, and later the Carraresi family of Padua, finally joining, in 1984, Eng. Gianguido de Carvalho de Moraes de Puppi.
Stylistically, Villa de Marchi-Ottelio-de Carvalho is a combination of Venetian-Friulian stylistic features, to obtain the typical rural manor house of Friuli of the time: arranged on three floors and with a strongly protruding roof. The Venetian model can be seen in the central hall and in the fireplaces. The façade is characterized by the double flight of stairs leading to the portal with a tympanated arch, ending with the coat of arms of the de Marchi.
In the west wing of Villa de Marchi-Ottelio-de Carvalho there is the seventeenth-century noble chapel dedicated to San Gaetano, mentioned in a document that recalls the pastoral visit of the patriarch Marco Dolfin on May 13, 1701.
Some rural buildings surround the beautiful garden which houses some notable specimens of centuries-old trees and a well decorated in wrought iron.
The villa has a long horizontal development bordered on the sides by two lower buildings and bears on the façade the coat of arms of the de Marchi family who built it at the end of the seventeenth century.
The building is fronted by a pleasant garden with a well in the center with a splendid wrought iron superstructure. At its end is the pretty chapel dedicated to San Gaetano. In 1769 the residence passed to the family of the Ottelio counts, then to the Papafava dei Carraresi of Padua. It currently belongs to the de Carvalho family.
