Villa Varda
Highlight โข Historical Site
The structure dates back to the 15th century, when the noble Mazzoleni family from Bergamo acquired vast tracts of land in the area and built their residence there. In 1670, Fabio Mazzoleni, the last erudite member of the family, annexed a chapel to the villa, nestled in the greenery of the park, in which he planned his own burial place. Due to lack of heirs, the villa was left to Ottavio Negri, Fabio's uncle, but later passed to numerous owners, including the Morpurgos. In the mid-19th century, this family, in addition to restoring the buildings, also gave the park its current appearance, at Charles's behest, in keeping with the then-current trend for English-style parks.
From 2016 to 2017, the complex underwent restoration work by the Maccan family. The architectural restoration has provided a splendid and functional space for public use, perfect for cultural initiatives.
Villa Varda appears as a stately home immersed in its large park, which extends along the banks of the Livenza River. The property retains architecturally valuable structures: an orangery topped by a stone balustraded terrace, a neo-Gothic chapel, an icehouse (remodeled in 1932, when a crenellated tower was added), and a mausoleum serving as a burial site. The park currently features a diverse array of trees that differ from the original layout, with many centuries-old imported specimens. Among the trees, noteworthy are a libocedron (Libocedrus decurrens) growing in front of the villa, a pagoda tree (Sophora japonica) on the riverbank, some photina (Photinia serrulata), some Virginia junipers (Juniperus virginiana), and Nepalese pines (Pinus wallichiana).
