A story spanning 300 years

The new light of the Park at Villa Valmarana ai Nani shines once again, 300 years after the original project,

blending the past with contemporary charm.

Thanks to the funds obtained through the PNRR dedicated to historic parks and gardens, we have carried out groundbreaking work that has allowed us to restore the original layout of the Park.

 

From the Triton to the church facing Villa La Rotonda, the Park is composed of the rear garden, the terraces, the Italian garden, the front garden, and the Forest with its Pagoda: a diverse collection of green spaces that surround the Villa, sparking the visitors’ curiosity with new  and innovative multimedia installations.

 

 

 

The rear garden

The rear garden of the Carpinate is bordered on both sides by two tunnels of green hornbeams, designed to embellish the park and provide shade for those wishing to take a stroll during the summer months. On the northern side, it ends with a nymphaeum, within which there is a large statue depicting a triton riding a dolphin.

The terraces

From the rear garden, it is possible to descend via the historic staircase to the newly restored terraces, funded by the PNRR. In this area, there are pathways, newly planted aromatic herbs, and ancient trees.

The Italian garden

It is designed with symmetrical patterns and extends on the western slope of the hill, between the Palazzina and the Foresteria. Inside, among flowerbeds, gravel paths, and low boxwood hedges, stand two impressive specimens of Olea fragrans.

The front garden

At the entrance, visitors are greeted by flowerbeds of colorful, fragrant roses and the unmistakable scent of Olea Fragrans trees.

The current state of the park is likely due to Elena Garzadori (late 1700s), wife of Gaetano, son of Giustino Valmarana, who invited the Tiepolo family to fresco the villa.

The Woodland and the Pagoda

The new Woodland has been designed with respect for several fundamental principles: care for nature, accessibility, inclusion, and biodiversity.

Through a specially created app, visitors can follow different paths designed to explore and experience every corner of this enchanting place, offering everyone a unique and personalized experience.

The woodland path will be enriched by three multimedia and sensory installations: Pagoda, Nest, and Stump, allowing visitors to experience nature in a completely new way.
