******************************************************

The entry opens to the second floor ceiling. It has a small fountain just below the first floor level which leads to the basement.

Many people have asked me how I've docorated and furnished this lot. Of course, a palazzo should have tons of fine art. Unfortunately, I was NOT able to pack it within this lot. (10MB max upload size.) BUT!!!! You CAN download the art and furnishing pack if you want it. I used just the Maxis OFB furniture but the wallhangings and the rugs are CC that I've gathered from many creators. Here are some shots of the decorated Palazzo in my game.




The 'Relatives' painting wall. You know, every palazzo has to have some ancestors hanging around.

Della Robbia Dining Room - in blue of course - Use the 'moveobjects on' and 'boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false' commands to set the ends of the two dining tables on top of each other - to get a longer dining table. Lethe-s VanEyck painting of the Madonna and Child go on one wall and DaVinci's Last Supper goes on the other wall of the dining room. I made the Dellarobbia wall between the two windows.

A study just off the main foyer.

The floor plans.




The landscaping -



The piazza 'mini' shopping area next to the palazzo. ready for your OFB shops.



Of course, the family chapel on the canal.



******************************************************

This palazzo has a 2 car garage basement, and two upper levels with a large open central Foyer area which has a sunken level on the first level entry containing a refreshing fountain to greet you when you enter. The inner court opens to the second floor.

The outside Foyer has lovely Murals made by Lethe_s. They, along with the 'Floridan' beige and tangerine curved wall sets by VonNdaSun are a perfect greeting for a Venetian style Palazzo.

The lovely garden plantings are mostly from AussieTopEnders and those wonderful tall Italian Cypress are by Franky at MTS2

Instead of mere bedrooms, this palazzo has 3 large bedroom suites - bath-dressing-office and private sitting rooms. You can break them down into bedrooms if you need the sleeping space.

This Lot has a lot of Custom Content. The smallest I could zip it was 15MB. So, Unfortunately, I had to remove most of the furniture, the boats, tubs and the OFB shopping stuff (except awnings) to make the lot small enough to zip. The Mini 'Rialto' shopping area plaza is still there - ready and waiting for your sim businesses. The landscaping and walls paints are still in the lot.


I want to thank each of these creators for sharing their wonderful work with the community - without their creations, this house would not be this nice.

This is a large lot so Please use the Simpack Clean Installer for best results installing this lot AND Please visit the creators via the links provided to get their most recent updates, recolors and meshes. (AND to see what other goodies they've made.)

The Optional ART PACK CONTENTS





Ok. I had tons of fun and LOTS of work gathering the CC for this lot. So - Here goes. I hope you enjoy. Look at the updated pics above to get an idea of how I placed the art in my game. Note: this art pack only covers the main Foyer, the study, the dining room and the upstairs seating area. it DOES NOT have art for the bedroom suites. If you do a search on JustMoi, you'll find tons of fantastic fine art ready to hang on your sims walls. :0) Or, you can do what I did and take several days to go through all 133 pages of wall hangings at MTS2.
