Villa Ippoliti stands in the centre of Gazoldo, near two more constructions built by the same family and to which its name is linked: Palazzo Pretorio and Palazzo Ippoliti. The villa was constructed in the 16C and is a dignified example of late-Renaissance architecture.
The design of the original construction was typical of Mantua but complicated by the insertion of two extensions, set symmetrically to the main front. The villa has served many other purposes: after WWI, it was converted to a boarding school for war orphans; the ground floor subsequently became the Town Hall; and a museum was later installed on the first floor. In 2010, the roofs of the main and side blocks were subjected to repairs, partially funded by the Regione Lombardia, which consisted in the removal of the tiles to lay waterproof sheeting beneath them.
