The Riviera del Brenta, a well-known waterway between Padua and Venice, is a scenic area of historical, natural, artistic and cultural interest. It is a natural extension of the Grand Canal and is flanked by picturesque Venetian villages and surrounded by an agricultural landscape. Throughout the ages, the Riviera del Brenta has fascinated many important personalities: Casanova, Galileo Galilei, Byron, Montesquieu and D'Annunzio visited it, Canaletto, Cimaroli and Tiepolo painted it and it was praised in the masterpieces of Goldoni and Goethe. The French and Russian royal families, the Habsburgs, the Savoy and even Napoleon stayed here, and the Venetian nobility chose it as the setting for their Venetian villas. Here the Venetians built magnificent residences, enclosed by monumental gardens, frescoed and designed by the most important artists of the time, such as Palladio, Titian and Tintoretto.
During this tour, you will visit Villa Widmann or Barchessa di Villa Valmarana and then the monumental Villa Pisani.
