Villa Widmann-Borletti was built by architect Baldassarre Longhena, upon commission of Ludovico Widmann in 1656, where a XI century Benedectine monastery previously laid its foundations. The somptuous and elegant residence of the Venitian Count soon became a summer retreat for nobles and artists. Among the most eminent guests, the famous comedy writer Carlo Goldoni, who wrote and staged in the Villa's theatre some of his famous comedies, sometimes even acting himself.
The collection of 160 statues, standing in the huge Italian style garden, represent Greek gods and the zodiac signs and are of great historical interest. The most impressive statues, carved by Antonio Bonazza in 1742, are those representing the main characters of the Commedia dell'Arte. Such statues are framed by natural backstage made by hedges and turn into life during unforgettable son et lumière shows that can be performed upon request. A visit to the fascinating historical cellars should not be missed.
