Villa Pisani—known as La Nazionale—is one of the most celebrated Venetian villas on the Brenta Riviera. Built from 1721 for the noble Pisani family, it occupies an entire bend of the Brenta Canal in Stra and features grand interiors decorated by masters such as Tiepolo, Crosato, Zais, Guarana, and Amigoni.
Its magnificent park, awarded Italy’s Most Beautiful Park in 2008, offers scenic views, elegant pavilions, historic greenhouses, and the famous “Labyrinth of Love.” Designed before the villa itself by Girolamo Frigimelica, the park blends French-style layouts inspired by Versailles with Venetian garden traditions, later enriched with an English grove and 19th-century botanical additions.
Fully restored today, the park showcases a rich botanical collection and one of Europe’s largest historic mazes, made of nine concentric rings of boxwood hedges.
