Villa Trissino Marzotto
Villa Trissino Marzotto consists of: an upper villa, a lower villa, monumental late-Baroque entrances, a cedar house or lemon house, an octagonal fountain, and over one hundred statues that adorn the large park, from which one can enjoy the panorama of the Agno Valley and the surrounding countryside. The villa is closely linked to the events of the Trissino family, ancient feudal lords of the area. This villa lies on the hill of Trissino where, since ancient times, a fortress stood, and later, a castle that was the theater for years of the struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines; after which, following the Renaissance fashion, it was transformed into a country villa (the so-called upper villa, as it is situated on the summit of the hill). The villa, expanded and renovated for the last time between 1718 and 1722 by the architect Francesco Muttoni and, after his death, by Girolamo Dal Pozzo, has come to the Trissino Baston family, owners of Palazzo Trissino, the current seat of the Municipality of Vicenza. Count Marcantonio Trissino Baston, in addition to commissioning the renovation works of the villa, had the imposing entrance to the garden built by Muttoni in 1693, and in 1717 the entrance to the upper villa. The architect also oversaw the arrangement of the gardens, from which there is a view of the Agno valley. Muttoni is also responsible for the construction of the stables, completed in 1722. Subsequently, Count Cristoforo Trissino commissioned Muttoni to build the lower villa, inaugurated in 1746 along with his son Ottavio, with whom, however, the line of Trissino Riale ended, allowing the Trissino Baston family to reunite the entire complex into a single property again. At the end of the eighteenth century and again in 1841, the lower villa was struck by lightning. After the first event, the building was restored, while after the second fire, Alessandro Trissino Baston had it renovated as a scenic ruin, according to the romantic fashion of the time. Count Alessandro and his brothers had no direct heirs, so the entire complex passed to their younger sister Francesca; however, their descendants, after a period of abandonment, sold the property to Giannino Marzotto in 1951.

Villa Emo
Villa Emo is a Venetian villa built by architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) near Fanzolo, within the municipality of Vedelago.
The work, realised between 1556 and 1559, was commissioned by the Emo family of Venice, whose property it remained until 2004. Since 1996, the villa has been included in the UNESCO heritage list, together with the other Palladian villas scattered throughout the Veneto region.
The building consists of a central body, divided into three floors - a characteristic feature of Palladian villas - from which unravel two columned barchesse, the fulcrum of the farm, complemented by two dovecote towers.
The villa is positioned on two perpendicular lines, one formed by the villa itself, and one formed by the avenue, originally completely planted with poplars. The area was crossed by the ancient Via Postumia and the plot of fields followed the grid of the Roman centuriazione. The villa is oriented according to this ancient plot, as can be clearly seen from the entrances to the building, aligned in a long perspective.
The exteriors are essential, the architectural order chosen is Doric, the simplest, and the windows have no cornices. On entering the interior, however, one can see the rich decorations and numerous frescoes that the villa contains, attributed to the painter Battista Zelotti, companion and collaborator of Paolo Veronese.

Villa Pigafetta - Arnaldi - Camerini
Commissioned by the Vicentine family of Arnaldi, who had come into possession of the property's land in the mid-16th century through a connection with the Pigafetta family, the villa was built between the 17th and 18th centuries by architect and landscape designer Francesco Antonio Muttoni.
To reach the villa, you pass through the entrance gate, ascending along a path in the woods, to arrive at a large wrought iron gate.
The building comprises the immense central villa, where on the right are the portico and the barchesse, while on the left is the family chapel dedicated to the "Conception of the Virgin Mary".
The long 40-meter façade is divided into three sections: the central one with the entrance and balcony, and the two lateral sections with the domestic rooms.
The dimensions of the building are amplified by the staircase and the enclosed terrace that surrounds a large and solemn garden.
Noteworthy are the interiors with sumptuous decorative paintings and the flooring: a Venetian terrazzo in green, one of the rarest remaining in Veneto.
Another significant feature is the imposing barchessa from the 1700s with clear Palladian and Scamozzi influences, entirely made of the warm stone from Nanto.
Importantly, there is the armory room, once a stable, where a collection of ancient weapons is preserved, and the Hall of Olympus.
Towards the end of the 90s, the villa underwent an important restoration and now part of the central body is designated for residence, while other spaces host events and exhibitions in addition to the offices of the agricultural company.
The villa has a large park and private woods, immersed in the nature of the Colli Berici.
The Oratory of the Immaculate Conception of Montruglio
Built in 1697 at the behest of the noble Costanzo Arnaldi.
Originally well-furnished with three significant marble statues depicting the Blessed Virgin and two angels, but they were later transported to the oratory of St. Teresa in Noventa Vicentina following the transfer of ownership to the noble Salvi family.
In the early 1900s, the oratory lost importance and was declared suspended in 1915, as it lacked the necessary resources.
The altar was donated in 1956 by Duke Camerini to the parish church of St. Peter in Mossano, where it is still present today.
The villa is owned by the Camerini family and is open for visits by appointment via phone/email from May to October.

Villa Arrighi
At Mizzole, which in ancient times was part of the agricultural settlement of the Benedictine nuns of the convent of San Michele di Campagna, you can find Villa Arrighi.
The first architectural structure of the villa most probably dates back to the 15th century, but its elegant and imposing appearance was given to it towards the end of 1600.
Villa Miari Fulcis
Villa di Modolo is one of the 15 major villas in the province of Belluno and is included in the catalog of the one hundred Venetian villas by Antonio Canova.
A short distance from the center of Belluno, immersed in greenery, Villa Miari Fulcis is a true architectural gem that deserves a visit to be combined perhaps with a walk along the beautiful Modolo ring.
One arrives at a small square where the family chapel dedicated to San Lorenzo stands. Passing through the eighteenth-century gate, one enters the garden, meets the old stables, and finally the Villa di Modolo, a grand construction from the early 1800s designed by architect Andrea Miari.
The central body, decorated with Ionic and Corinthian semi-columns, extends into a wing to which another lower building is attached: the Barchessa, with a porch on the ground floor and cellars below where the date 1644 is still legible.
It was built in the eighteenth century, but the appearance you will see today is the result of changes made in the nineteenth century that affected both the villa and the old stables that flank it. Entering the halls on the first floor, admire the decorations and frescoes that embellish the walls. Unfortunately, these are only part of the entire decorative apparatus that was destroyed during the two world wars. Descending the large staircase, return outside, look for the coat of arms of the Miari family accompanied by the date 1806, and let your gaze wander over the beautiful garden and the baroque railing beside the building, which encloses and protects this elegant villa.
The complex represents one of the major examples of villas perfectly integrated into the great tradition of the most significant Venetian models.

Villa Ca' Marcello
The villa was enlarged and decorated around the middle of the eighteenth century, at a time which saw work on the front facade and the barchesse [long outbuildings typical of a Veneto villa ]; probably to designs by the architect Francesco Maria Preti. Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Villa passed to other owners, including the Maruzzi family and the renovations took place in that period. The walls of the ballroom are decorated with frescoes by Giambattista Crosato depicting the feats of Alexander the Great; on the ceiling is a fresco of Olympus and Allegories of the Arts. The various rooms still contain period furniture and are decorated with fine stucco work whose subject matter includes: mountain landscapes; imaginary animals; circus scenes; allegories of the Virtues. Nowadays one can visit the villa and its age-old park, which are still lovingly cared for by the Marcello family. During your visit to the villa, you will see numerous portraits of their famous ancestors: Doge Niccolò Marcello; various members of the family who were Venetian Admirals or Procurators of the Venetian Republic; and, of course, the well-known composer Benedetto Marcello. So, whilst admiring the villa, you get a glimpse into the past of a family that played such a part in the history of the Serenissima.
