Villa Widmann

The present palace was apparently designed and built in 1719 by Alessandro (?...Andrea) Tirali, a Venetian architect.

The Widmanns commissioned the internal frescoes mainly by Giuseppe Angeli, a pupil of Giambattista Piazzetta, and Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna, who worked with Tiepolo.

The Villa is surrounded by cypress and horse-chestnut trees, and gardens interspersed by several stone statues of gods, nymphs and cupids.

A barchessa (a protruding arcade wing usually functioning as storage sheds or stables) and a small church, where Elisabetta and Arianna Widmann are buried, are also part of the Villa's buildings.

The project was designed by Fotografia Virtuale™, a company specialized in high-tech photography and new media based in Venice with several branches in major Italian cities.
