The Journey

Villa Pisani, Stra

Step back in time at Villa Pisani, a monumental late Baroque masterpiece along the Riviera del Brenta, near Venice. This grand villa, the largest and most visited on the Riviera, was built to celebrate the Pisani family's rise to power in 1735. Explore its opulent interiors, stroll through its elaborate gardens, and imagine the countless historical figures who once walked these halls – from Tsar Alexander I to Hitler and Mussolini. Transferred from Napoleon's ownership through Austrian possession and finally to the Italian State, Villa Pisani now serves as a National Museum, offering a glimpse into centuries of Venetian history and European intrigue.
