...At three in the afternoon we set out for Villa Contarini, in Piazzola sul Brenta. Its presence emerged slowly, solid and composed, its pale facades illuminated by the winter sun. The elegant lines of the villa stood out against the sky, motionless, while everything around seemed to move: the grass bent by the wind, the shadows lengthening on the ground, the silence broken only by distant footsteps and the rustling of the air...

Avoid the path in the days right after a storm, since the lower portions are sumberged o extremely muddy.

Back gate with avenue at the back of villa Contarini, slightly less impressive than the front but a beautiful gravel strip.

A charming "workers' village," a product of the industrial revolution between the late 19th and early 20th centuries: a long, low building housing about twenty identical terraced houses on each side, intended to house the families of workers from the nearby historic jute factory. Beginning in the late 19th century, Piazzola sul Brenta underwent a profound social and urban transformation, spearheaded by the enlightened entrepreneur Paolo Camerini, who aimed to transform the town from a primarily agricultural center to an industrial hub: an "ideal city" of work in which production needs and attention to the quality of life of its citizens and workers would go hand in hand. The "Camerini Plan" gave rise to the textile factory, the brickworks, power plants, railways, a new and rational road network, residential neighborhoods, and other infrastructure. https://sites.google.com/site/cartolinedipiazzolasulbrenta/le-case-camerini?authuser=0

Villa Contarini-Camerini is one of the largest Venetian villas. Baroque in appearance, it is located in the background of the main square of Piazzola sul Brenta, porticoed and semicircular. Absolutely worth seeing!
