    Tips

    December 15, 2024

    Near the Lusia bridge (RO) on the Adige river, you can see the Morosini crenellated tower, with its 22 meters of height. An internal spiral staircase, composed of 128 steps, allows you to go up three floors, before reaching its top.
    The tower is what remains of an ancient villa of the same name, half destroyed by the Allied bombings (!) on April 20, 1945. The villa occupied the space of the tower, to the right, where the road is currently.
    The villa was built by will of the Venetian Morosini family, at the beginning of the 17th century, transforming the medieval castle built by the Este family in the 11th century. The villa remained the property of Countess Loredana Morosini Gatterburg until her death (1884) and in 1889 it became the property of the Oliva family. In 1935 it was purchased by the municipality of Lusia who adapted it to the town hall and elementary schools. After the bombing, the municipality did not consider it appropriate to rebuild it.
