Nowadays these historic residences attract the visitors’ attention although the inside is not admitted to the public; while walking around the village, they cannot do without looking at the beauty of their shapes and luxuriant gardens.
The Venetian Villas usually took place within larger agricultural properties.
The very heart of the architectural complex held the owners’ residence (known as “casa dominicale”) that was more refined than the others as it was not only a ceremonial place but also a summer residence; the same area also held the “barchesse”, that is, rural service buildings where all the activities were coordinated: kitchens, farmers’ houses, stables, basements and much more.
Each villa took its name from the aristocratic family living in it.
