Villa Foscarini Rossi a Stra

Villa Foscarini Rossi is a Baroque-style aristocratic rural palace located at Via Doge Pisani 1/2, along the Riviera del Brenta, at Stra on the mainland of the Veneto, northern Italy.

The Villa now houses a museum of shoes (Museo Rossimoda della Calzatura).

An additional block was built later, called the Foresteria, to house visiting guests.

The house is notable for the frescoes in the main salon, painted in 1652 by Domenico de’ Bruni and Pietro Liberi to celebrate the wedding (a year before) of Giambattista Foscarini and Chiara Soranzo.

The main building houses the Museo della Calzatura, while the Foresteria is used for cultural events and meetings.
