Villa Moretti is a Venetian villa in Conegliano, located in the eastern Monticella district, on Via XIV Maggio, a few meters from Villa Soldera.

History
Villa Moretti is a 19th-century building, home of the Moretti family. Like the other three Venetian villas of Monticella di Conegliano, Villa Moretti has almost completely lost the original character of its location, being incorporated into a zone with a strong housing density, due to the growing urbanization of the district in the second half of the twentieth century.

Still house of the Moretti, today the villa is in good state of conservation.

Description
Villa Moretti consists of a manor building more than the minor outbuildings, refurbished or presumably later.

The master building is rectangular, with a higher central block and two lateral wings, all arranged according to a perfect symmetry.
The facade sees the four floors of the central part highlighted by the arrangement of the openings and by thin cornices of the plan. The forometry consists of all rectangular monophores, organized, on the ground floor, around the simple portal, to the two upper floors, around a larger monophora with parapetto.

Except for the third floor, where there is the element that best gives elegance to the other disadorna facade: it is a trilobate trilobed sixth acute, of Venetian-Byzantine inspiration, to the sides of which stand two high octagonal-shaped comignoles; these two elements are the only ones to appear above the vegetation of the small garden leaning on the villa, dividing it from the traffic of the road.

The two wings follow a scheme similar to that of the central block, but differ from it for the lack of the third floor, here replaced by an ammeter open from oval windows.

On the left of the main building there is a small structure of a floor with terrace. On the back another small annex, placed on two levels and restored, recalls the forms of rural construction.
