Villa Pisani

This villa was likely built around 1555 as a result of Alvise Pisani's appointment to doge. The house is considered a masterpeace of the villa culture from that time. It has the air of a palace.

The broad façade, with the very exuberantly decorated middle, hides a large complex with two inner courts and an extended garden. On the first floor there are several rooms with furniture of the 18th and 19th century. The most spectacular part of this palace is the ballroom with a painted ceiling by Giovanni Tiepolo on which the apotheosis of the family Pisani is represented.

Napoleon, who spent a night there, possesed the villa in 1807. It has been a national monument since 1882. And it was here that Hitler first met Mussolini in 1934.
