After a few changes of ownership La Rotonda is purchased by the Valmarana counts of Venice, who own it to this day.
Villa Rotonda is sold to two brothers, Odorico and Mario Capra, whose family keeps the property until the beginning of the 19th century, contributing to maintaining the villa’s decoration aligned with the changes in taste through many generations.
