Descrizione formattata

It is assumed that the villa is from the early sixteenth century although over the centuries it was enriched with several interventions. In 1740 in addition to the manor house, there are mention of a garden, a vegetable garden and a "casino". It remained the property of the Cappello family until the Napoleonic era. In 1807 the complex was acquired by the public and merged with Villa Pisani.

In the meantime it becomes the residence of Eugene Beauharnais. Later the villa became the residence of Austrian officers and governors and the adjacent building was used as a barracks. The residential block has a rectangular plan and a traditional layout with a passing lounge. It is spread over three levels: a basement, two main floors and a mezzanine on the sides of the second level. At the back of the villa there is a boxwood garden and tall trees. At the bottom of the property there is a service building with arched spans and large Doric pilasters that mark the elevations.

Descrizione formattata

The name of Villa Ca' Dotta means: "The House of the Dotto".
The Dotto were nobles belonging to a wealthy family from Padua, who inherited land from another important Vicentine family, the Proti. It was the Dotto who later erected the Sunday house in this pleasant location, which was given the name Ca' Dotta.


After several changes in ownership, Villa Ca' Dotta began to fall into disuse, until the last owner decided to donate it to the Municipality of Sarcedo, hoping for a renovation that would make the building available for public use for socio-health purposes.


The Municipality of Sarcedo decided to renovate the villa, also thanks to public funding, to then allocate it for the intended use by the donor. Given the difficulty of repurposing the building, due to structural reasons, the Municipality, ULSS 7, and the Veneto Region initiated another project: Ca' Dotta became a place for the predominantly school-aged population, to promote healthy lifestyles in an "original" way.

Descrizione formattata

Ca' Conti is a monumental complex of sixteenth-century origin. Originally a Benedictine station, it became the property of the Conti family in 1580. In 1832, Cristoforo Camerini purchased it and it became part of his properties. At the beginning of the 1900s, it was left, along with the surname, by Giovanni Camerini to Giovanni Rusconi, becoming the residence of the Rusconi Camerini family. Surrounded by a wonderful and romantic Italian-style park, enriched with statues and centuries-old plants, it is a place of great charm, where one can admire splendidly preserved seventeenth-century frescoes and stunning decorations by Giovanni Biasin.

Excellences of the villa: Ca' Conti welcomes its guests in a beautifully preserved courtyard. The imposing threshing floor (aia) made of trachyte is surrounded by the barchessa, stables, and other agricultural annexes, which narrate the story of daily life dedicated to work in the countryside. Among its walls, splendid rural-themed frescoes painted on the occasion of Manfredo Conti's wedding in 1632 and the original furnishings surprise visitors who are struck by the magnificence of the hall that leads to the ancient park. The romantic Italian garden with its statues, icehouses, impressive plants, and pond captivates and fascinates those who visit it.

Excellences of the context: Starting from Ca' Conti, it is possible to visit the beautiful Villa Pisani Bolognesi Scalabrin in Vescovana, Villa Miari de Cumani in Sant'Elena, and the splendid castle of Monselice.

Descrizione formattata

The Villa was built in 1764 by the architect Count Orazio Claudio Capra with contributions from Francesco Muttoni and Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi.

Villa Capra Bassani is an example of a neoclassical villa clearly inspired by Palladian architecture.
The Villa features a wide staircase flanked by statues that leads to the Ionic portico. The garden is bordered by a fish pond on the bridge from which the entrance gate opens. Particularly beautiful are the statues of the pediment and the supports of the staircase.

The Hall is enriched at the top of the walls with monochromes depicting mythological scenes that represent Ovid's Metamorphoses and a lively fresco with Phaethon falling from the chariot struck by Zeus's thunderbolt.
Of particular interest are the altar and the palette of the domestic chapel located on the second floor. In the second half of the 1800s, Villa Capra was purchased by the Bassani family, who are responsible for the expansion of the rustic annexes and the barchessa.

The Villa is still today the private residence of the current owners, the Fortunato family, descendants of the Bassani.

Descrizione formattata

In 1497, in Quinto, Giacomo Thiene, son of Marco, makes his will at the manor house and orders to be buried in the cemetery of S. Giorgio. Thus, there is already a villa and the lord resides there for long periods of the year. The presence of a lord in these lands is destined to strengthen more and more in the following centuries. From this moment on, the Thiene family will increasingly bind their name to the history of Venetian architecture and Palladio.

Excellences of the villa: "The drawings that follow are of the fabric of Count Ottavio Thiene in Quinto, his villa. It was begun by the happy memory of Count Marc'Antonio his father, and by Count Adriano his uncle: the site is very beautiful as it has, on one side, the Tesina, and on the other, a large branch of the said river.” Thus Andrea Palladio introduces the project of Villa Thiene in his treatise “The Four Books of Architecture.” However, it should be emphasized a fundamental aspect: the drawing included in the Treatise is the result of a radical theoretical reworking that came later. In fact, the first project for this villa is less complex but more attentive to the environmental context than that of 1570. The villa was built around 1545/46 for Marcantonio Thiene. On the ground floor, the council hall preserves the sixteenth-century fresco decoration by Giovanni De Mio from Schio. The villa, having passed from the Thiene family to the Valmarana family, has been a municipal seat since 1871. It has been UNESCO heritage since 1996.

Excellences of the context: -The Church of San Giorgio, which houses paintings from the Maganza school and a valuable baptismal font from the 1700s with the coat of arms of the Thiene family. -In contrada Valproto, in the 1200s, there was the ancient church of San Michele Arcangelo and on the ancient bell tower still visible, the stone coat of arms of the Thiene family. -The Church of Lanzè dates back to 1927 and is in neoclassical style, created by local architects. -In the location of Quintarello, we find Villa Tacchi-Fagan, notable for the vast park designed by architect Giorgio Massari (18th century). -Older is the villa De Tacchi Franco also known as "Cà Prigioni", whose structure incorporates a core that possibly dates back to the times of the lords of Lanzè. -Another testimony to the summer residences of the bourgeoisie, built between the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, is the Uderzo villa, now Cavinato, and the Galvanin Rigon villa in Lanzè.

Descrizione formattata
Villa Badoer-Michieli-Ruzzini (known more simply as Villa Ruzzini) was built in the late sixteenth/early seventeenth century to provide a more modern country residence for an aristocratic Venetian family whose numerous illustrious members included Carlo Ruzzini (elected Doge in 1732).
The decoration of the villa probably dates from the first two decades of the seventeenth century, and the work adorning its piano nobile is unique within this area. The frescoes in the main salon on that floor depict six episodes in a war of 1350 that had involved Marco Ruzzini as Capitano da Mar [admiral] of the Venetian fleet.
The goal is clearly apologetic, aiming to restore the good name of an ancestor who, at the time of the battle, had been accused of seriously mishandling a series of events that had occurred in the sea between the island of Corfu and Negroponte. A swirling mass of ships, battle scenes, Venetian views and seascapes, this response to the contemporary criticisms of Marco Ruzzini are a fascinating - if anachronistic – evocation of the past.

Descrizione formattata

Villa Forni Cerato was built around 1565 by reworking an existing building, commissioned by Girolamo Forni, a wealthy timber merchant but without noble title, a more unique than rare case for Palladian villas. Forni had business relations with Andrea Palladio as a supplier of timber, and this is one of the reasons most critics attribute the design of this villa to Palladio himself; the villa's design is also included in "The Constructions and Designs of Andrea Palladio" by Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi.
It is likely that the dry minimalism of the building reflected the bourgeois social status of its owner.
The building has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1996.
The language of the Villa has generated doubts about its actual Palladian authorship, as well as the simple plan of the building. In reality, the Villa is the result of the restructuring of the pre-existing house and the perspective should be reversed, recognizing Palladio's intelligence in transforming constrained limitations into expressive opportunities.
At the time, the Villa had rich sculptural decoration, partly documented work by Alessandro Vittoria. The nearby farmhouses and the dovecote are in ruins. Villa Forni Cerato has always been the subject of study and historiographical analysis.

Castello di Stigliano

Descrizione formattata
The origins of the castle are to be placed in Roman times, when the building was used as a fortification. Over the centuries the complex passed into the hands of various owners. In 1152 to the bishop of Treviso, from 1158 the Tempesta were vassals and in January 1220, Count Guido ceded the rights to Aldevrandino da Superno. Built in a strategic position, on the border between the territories of Treviso and Padua, it was the scene of numerous battles. Definitively conquered by the Venetians, in the seventeenth century, the complex passed to the Venier who carried out alterations. After a long period of abandonment, recently, thanks to the renovation work of Paolo Bertan, the building has undergone further adaptations to be adapted to an accommodation facility. The kitchen of the castle offers extraordinary culinary moments, preparing traditional Venetian dishes and classics of national cuisine and studying, on request, personalized menus. The restaurant has numerous seats divided into various air-conditioned rooms both in summer and winter, including the outdoor park perfect for the summer.
