Villa Widmann Foscari guided tours
Villa Widmann Foscari Rezzonico – tour details
The Villa Widmann Foscari is one of the finest examples of Rococo architecture along the Brenta Riviera, set within one of the most famous historical and landscape contexts in Veneto.
The villa was originally built by the Seriman family, merchants of Armenian and Persian origin who were key figures in 18th-century Venetian economic life. It later passed to the Widmanns, originally from Carinthia, who defined its current spectacular appearance, transforming it into a grand representative residence.
Frescoes and the art of Venetian Rococo
The villa’s interiors house extraordinary frescoes with mythological subjects, created by Giuseppe Angeli, one of the leading exponents of Venetian Rococo, assisted by the quadraturista Girolamo Mengozzi Colonna, a master of illusionistic architecture.
The frescoed rooms depict an elegant and cultured world of myths, allegories, and refined perspective games, perfectly integrated with the architecture and the aristocratic taste of the era.
The architectural complex and historic carriages
The monumental complex reflecting on the Brenta includes:
- the main manor house
- a private oratory
- a barchessa-guesthouse
Inside the barchessa, in the ancient stables, a precious collection of carriages and chaises belonging to the last owning family, the Costanzos, is preserved, further enriching the historical value of the visit.
The romantic park
The guided tour continues into the large park at the rear, one of the most evocative green spaces on the Brenta Riviera. Here, visitors can:
