Guide of Riviera del Brenta, Italy

This beautiful Villa is in Mira and was built on the wishes of the Scerimann family, an aristocratic Persian family, at the beginning of the 18th century. It was completed some decades later by the Widmann family, in a style that is reminiscent of the French Rococo fashion.

The main lounge is a wonderful sight to see, full of frescoes by Giuseppe Angeli, a pupil of Giambattista Piazzetta, and Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna, who worked with Tiepolo.

The Villa is surrounded by huge gardens filled with cypress and horse-chestnut trees, interspersed by several stone statues of gods, nymphs and cupids. A Barchessa and a small church where Elisabetta and Arianna Widmann are buried are also part of the Villa’s buildings.
