The Villa Forni Cerato is a sixteenth-century villa in Montecchio Precalcino, in the Province of Vicenza, designed in the Palladian style and attributed to Andrea Palladio. Its patron was likely Girolamo Forni, a wealthy wood merchant who supplied materials for several of Palladio's projects. Though assigned to Palladio on stylistic grounds, the villa departs notably from conventional Palladian norms, making it a distinctive example within the architect's oeuvre. The building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
