Beautiful

Valsanzibio was brought to splendor in the second half of the 17th century by the Venetian nobleman Zuane Francesco Barbarigo and his son Antonio following a solemn vow made in 1631 to escape the plague (1630/31). The eldest son, Gregory, a cardinal and future saint, inspired the lofty symbolism of the monumental layout by the papal architect and fountain designer Luigi Bernini and wanted the garden of Valsanzibio to be a monumental emblem of the path to perfection that leads man from Error to Truth, from Ignorance to Revelation. Over sixty statues, mostly by Merengo, and an equal number of smaller sculptures are integrated into the architecture, waterfalls, fountains, and water features on 15 hectares of unspoiled hillside nature.

The Morosini Tower is all that remains of Villa Morosini, destroyed during a bombing raid on April 20, 1945. It remained inhabited until 1983 and was then restored by the municipal administration. Built of masonry with a square base, the tower is 22 meters tall and has a 53 cm slope. It comprises three floors above ground, connected by a spiral staircase with 128 marble steps; the summit features elegant terracotta battlements and decorative ashlar work on the sides and windows. The tower's connections with the lost older buildings are still visible.

Beautiful village, Petrarch's buen retiro

The Diana Portal in Valsanzibio is the monumental entrance to the Garden of Villa Barbarigo, a symbol of spirituality and power, designed in the 17th century by Luigi Bernini. Located in the heart of the Historic Garden of Villa Barbarigo in Valsanzibio (Padua), the Diana Portal—also known as Diana's Pavilion—was the main waterway access to the noble estate during the 17th and 18th centuries. This majestic portal is not only a Baroque architectural masterpiece, but also represents the beginning of the allegorical path of purification and salvation commissioned by Saint Gregory Barbarigo. https://www.valsanzibiogiardino.com/it/portfolio-item/portale-diana/
