Descrizione formattata

The villa dates back to the early 18th century (with an original core from the 16th century) and represents a typical example of the style known as "rustic 700", which is distinguished by its sobriety and purity of lines from the lavish and ornate style of other major residences in the Veneto countryside. According to tradition, it was also built by an aristocratic family in the hinterland of the Republic of Venice as a summer residence. The villa has passed through various noble families: Counts Bonaguro, Counts Vanzo, Counts Caffo, Baron Sturm von Hirschfeld, and others, until, following the common fate of such properties, the lands associated with it were gradually sold and dispersed. In 1978, the residence and park were purchased by the current owners, who restored them with great care and named them "Gioiagrande" for their serene beauty.

Excellences of the villa: The villa is surrounded by a large agricultural estate, with a pleasant landscape and lush vegetation due to the soil's fertility and the abundance of waters derived from the Brenta River through an ancient and still effective canalization system. The extensive park, measuring 25,000 square meters, perhaps designed by the botanist Parolini, is maintained to a perfect standard: centuries-old plants, flowers, shrubs, watercourses, paths and walks, bridges and little bridges envelop and surround the villa, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

Excellences of the context: Villa "Gioiagrande" is located in a particularly fortunate position as it is a short distance from well-known centers and cities such as: Bassano del Grappa, an ancient city and birthplace of the painters Da Ponte; Marostica, a walled city famous for its chess game; Castelfranco Veneto, the home of Giorgione; Cittadella, an ancient medieval village; Asolo, a beautiful village set in the hills of the Treviso region.

Via Pompei, 2
Descrizione formattata

Villa Sagramoso Perez Pompei was built at the end of the 17th century at the behest of Giunio III, Count of Illasi, and was commissioned to the architect Pellesina, who also worked on parts of the Palace of Versailles, Villa Sigurtà, and the church of S. Nicolò in Verona.

Once the Pompei family extinguished, it was inherited by the cousins Perez and their descendants Sagramoso, who still reside there today. It is located about 200 meters from the center of the village.

It has the appearance of a city palace. It consists of a central body and two wings, long "barchesse", and stables.
The central body, with three floors, features a portico with five arches, alongside which is a double pair of rectangular openings with elegant stone frames. Along the noble floor, a series of windows surrounded by a simple linear stone frame are arranged. The two wings are set back from the main front. The left wing is the oldest part of the complex, dating back to 1615. At the first floor level, it presents a high Doric loggia. Inside, there are large salons, galleries, and rooms decorated with a cycle of 18th-century frescoes. Neoclassical decorations embellish the dining room and the living room on the ground floor.
 
In the large secular park, with an Italian garden spanning 60 hectares, there is a wide pathway 5 km long that starts from the villa and leads to the Scaliger Castle of Illasi. The vegetation appears partly spontaneous, partly pruned regularly. Along the path, one can glimpse a moat that was once a small lake, shaped like Lake Garda.

The eastern-style pavilion that once housed the greenhouses, adjacent to the Italian garden, has been recently transformed into a restaurant.

Via Doge Pisani, 1
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.

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

The Cittadella Vigodarzere park, now owned by Valmarana, was designed by Giuseppe Jappelli in the early 19th century, establishing a sort of English-style model in the Veneto region. The park covers an area of about 14 hectares, initially enclosed and protected by a moat along the country road surrounding it. For the creation of the park and to shape the originally flat site, Jappelli used the excavated earth from the lake and the perimeter moat. The lake has a surface area of about one and a half hectares. Much of the shores and the islet are protected from water erosion by the roots of numerous taxodium planted over the last 80 years specifically for this important role. Another feature of the lake is that, despite its modest size, it was designed in such a way that from any viewpoint, one can never see it all at once. The temple, near the lake, partially destroyed by the two world wars, was dedicated by the architect to commemorate the tragic end of the Knights Templar. Today, the three rooms dedicated to Masonic rituals are still intact and open for visiting. The Villa, the 5,000 trees in the forest, 4 kilometers of paths, five oak and robinia wooden bridges, two greenhouses, two porticos, the ice house, and the famous "duck house" complete the site.

Excellences of the villa: The Villa is an imposing rectangular volume with a longitudinal development facing the park. The building has three levels, resting on a base where the dark cellars are often below groundwater level. The ground floor consists of a series of sequential rooms, while the second and third floors are designated for residential rooms, libraries, and lounges. Noteworthy is the dining room, furnished with original furniture and decorated by the frescoes of Michele Fanoli on the ceiling and some paintings by Chiara Dario Varotari depicting members of the Cittadella and Vigodarzere families. Following is the coffee lounge with four identical tables at the corners, the billiard room with English prints, and two lounges, one frescoed on the ceiling by Michele Fanoli where the hole made by English soldiers at the center of the fresco stands out for hanging a lamp…. Among the annexed buildings, the neoclassical chapel designed by Angelo Sacchetti should be mentioned.

Excellences of the context: Originally, about 30,000 plants of various special species were planted in the park, specifically studied to guide visitors in the "initiatory path." Today, the original arrangement of the various species has been lost, some due to epidemics (plane trees, horse chestnuts, and oaks), others due to a natural lesser adaptation to the climate. Currently, there are over 5,000 tall-stemmed plants, of which at least six are from the initial planting; five plane trees and one oak over 220 years old, which are subject to constant care and maintenance. Four of the five plane trees have a circumference at the base of over 7.5 meters.

Villa Pisani Bonetti, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996, was planned by Andrea Palladio in 1541, the date of his return from his first journey to Rome, and was built between 1544 and 1545. It is perhaps the most representative example of his early period and it marked the beginning of his collaboration with the Serene Republic of Venice.

The Villa was inspired by the ancient buildings of Rome, in particular the public baths; it reflected their monumentality and, in doing so, was a potent symbol of the new “fiefdoms” and the power of Venice on the mainland.

The location of the Villa on a river meant that there was easy access to Venice for the transport of people, materials and produce, and making it particularly convenient for the Pisani family when they came in the summer months.

The Villa is now in a perfect state of preservation thanks to the work of both the previous and the present owners; it may be visited all the year round by appointment.

The Barchessa, originally a rustic construction with large arched canopies for essentially agricultural use, which today, after a careful restoration and complete restoration, comes back to life, preserved and enhanced, in the 21st century, as a relais, event space and restaurant .

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.

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.
