Tour to the Venetian Villas of the Brenta Riviera from Padua

The Riviera del Brenta, a well-known waterway between Padua and Venice, is an interesting panoramic area from a historical, natural, artistic and cultural point of view. It is a natural extension of the Grand Canal and is flanked by picturesque Venetian villages and surrounded by an agricultural landscape. The Brenta Riviera has fascinated many important personalities at all times: Casanova, Galileo Galilei, Byron, Montesquieu and D'Annunzio have visited it, Canaletto, Cimaroli and Tiepolo have painted it and it has been 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, Tiziano and Tintoretto.
