The villa in Ariis di Rivignano is special because it was the setting of a tragedy that seems to have inspired Shakespeare. After recent careful research, the English professor Cecil Clough came to the conclusion that the true protagonists of the Shakespearian tragedy are the Friulian Lucina Savorgnan, who spent her summer holidays here, and her cousin Luigi Da Porto.
The villa overlooks a bend of the Stella river and is immersed in the “Stella Municipal Park” and in the “Site of Community Importance Risorgive dello Stella”, which is home to interesting specimens of flora and fauna. On the façade of an intense brick red colour, the Savorgnan coat of arms is still present: a silver shield on a black chevron. Furthermore, an Italian terraced garden was created between the Villa and the river, subsequently expanded and modified, and now home to several events.
