Villa Eugenia a Casarsa: un monumento in forma di città sulle sponde del Tagliamento

Abstract

The project of Villa Eugenia by Michele Giuliani concerned in a ‘city’ or rather in a newly founded rural village destined to rise around the Tagliamento column. Its discovery contributes to reconstructing the complex history of the celebrative monuments dedicated to the Napoleonic victories in the Kingdom of Italy. Villa Eugenia is an unusual urban settlement linked with a broader infrastructure project and represents a commendatory act that becomes an opportunity to develop the agricultural vocation of the territory and to start a reflection on the theme of rural housing.
