Villa Pisani

The Pisani noble family's sumptuous villa lies along the Riviera del Brenta, an ideal extension of the Grand Canal of Venice. Its 114 rooms accommodate doges, kings and emperors, while nowadays the villa is a national museum which keeps the original forniture of the XVII and XIX centuries as well as exquisite art masterpieces like The Glory of the Pisani Family by Giambattista Tiepolo, a fresco on the ceiling of the ballroom.

An enthusiatic traveller of the XIX century, while describing the garden of Villa Pisani, wrote: "every step is a new sight and a new beauty". Today, just like yesterday, the garden still charms visitors with its spectacular sceneries, its famous maze, its groves of lemon and orage groves, its greenhouses full of plants and flowers and with "everything which gives pleasure to the sight and gratifies our taste", as boasted Almorò Pisani.
