The traveller who in the eighteenth century faced the traditional Tour d'Italie and went up the Brenta from Venice to Padua, could admire one of the jewels of late Venetian Baroque: the Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari complex.
Built at the beginning of the eighteenth century by the Seriman family, Venetian nobles of Persian origin, the villa did not obtain its present appearance until the middle of the same century, when the Widmann family, originally from Carinthia, adapted the property to the taste of the French Rococo.
Today Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari is owned by the Metropolitan City of Venice, it is managed by San Servolo srl and offers a complete tour to discover the uses and customs of Villa Life.
