Art and Culture cities
A tale of great artistic wealth, an immense treasure; art in Veneto is everywhere a huge asset to be appreciated and loved
Venice – city of art par excellence – is dreamed in the world as a destination for a fantastic trip. Venice is the “Serenissima”, with San Marco, Ca’ d’Oro and Rialto, the Grand Canal, but also the mysterious narrow streets “calli”, the splendor of its palaces, the endless bridges that rise majestically from the field of the sea. And the characteristic islands of the lagoon: Murano, Burano and Torcello, famous for its glass and the traditional art of lace.
Many are the cities to discover in the Veneto region: not only the Padua of Giotto and Mantegna, the Roman and Romanesque Verona, the Treviso of Lorenzo Lotto, but also Palladio’s Vicenza, Montagnana, Este, Monselice, Arquà Petrarca, Cittadella, Asolo, Possagno, Marostica, Bassano, Soave, Peschiera, Oderzo, Concordia Sagittaria, Castelfranco Veneto…
Venetian villas
Towards half of ‘500 most noble Venetian families chose to invest the great wealth accumulated in trade with the East in the creation of large farms to directly administer. It was then that the Cornero, Barbaro, Badoer, Emo, Grimani, Foscari, holders of economic and political power, but also great scholars of philosophy and art lovers, found their ideal interpreter in Andrea Palladio. Thus born the Venetian villa, a type of completely original and productive accommodation, which was very successful because it responded at the same time to aesthetic and functional needs..
