8. Villa Seriman Foscari Widmann, Mira - Venezia
Mira (VE).
It was built in 1700 by Seriman, a noble Venetian family of Persian
origin. The villa gained its present form only in the middle of the
century, when the Widmann family, after buying the property,
modernized it adapting it to the French style.

here is the most magnificent of
about 150 villas lying on the
Riviera...
It is a national villa.
14. This is Villa Pisani, in Stra. It is one of the most famous villas
of the Riviera del Brenta. I see it about 4 times a week, because I do
my training of volleyball in Stra and it’s beyond the river near the
road to go to the gym. It contains a lot of paintings by Italians artists
and a labyrinth. Alice Lazzari
