Gardens and park
The whole park is 90.000 square meters wide and surrounds the villa on every side. The Marcello archive disappeared in a fire occurred to another family manor in 1920, leaving much of the villa's original period to speculation. Anyway, a garden is not thought to have existed here until the eighteenth century, when the house was impressively renovated for large-scale entertaining. In that period the new façade was enriched adding the semi-columns, the balconies, the lateral loggias, and the series of statues on the tympanum and the terrace. The centuries-old park can be divided in two different architectural areas: the Italian garden and the English park. the Italian style garden In front of the villa the Italian Garden holds eighteenth and nineteenth century statuary of mythological figures, centred around a fountain and simple grass parterres. There are several flowering plant varieties, which flourish alternatively from April to October. From this point you get a complete view the lateral arcade wings (barchesse). On each side the gate piers are surmounted by statues of the Four Seasons, with Winter depicted as an old man and Summer grasping a scythe. This austerely elegant lay-out was put in place in the twentieth century to replace a fussier, nineteenth century composition. The more recent introduction of soft powder-blue plumbago in pots successfully lightens the severity of the stone. the English park Continuing the walk in the wide and luxuriant English park, through long rows of hornbeams, lime trees and oak trees you can find some essences which are very rare in their longevity. It is worth mentioning the three-hundreds-year old hornbeam and liriodendron, which are among the oldest in Veneto. Trees of particular interest are also the age-long red beech and plane. Apart from the naturalistic-botanical heritage, the walk leads the visitor to an picturesque sixteenth-century dove cote (colombaia), used for breeding the pigeons (useful to send daily messages to Venice, but also exquisite ingredients of many traditional Venetian recipes). You can also see a private chapel and a large fish-pond (obtained by filling the quarry, needed to build the house, with running water). Some parts of the park are left as woods with age-long trees and numerous statues representing animals and realistic or fairytale characters (among them the curious series of “the dwarfs” and of the “musician monkeys”).
