Villa Elena was once the residence of Elena da Persico
(Journalist 1869-1948).

Starting in the early 20th century, Elena organised opportunities for interaction and education in response to the cultural and social needs of her time. Now, the villa continues her work of a cultural, spiritual and ecclesial nature: it is host to conferences held annually by the Elena da Persico Foundation and other Veronese associations; throughout the year, it offers a Scripture reading course.
