Mira

Highlight • Settlement

Mira is a municipality in the metropolitan city of Venice located along the Riviera del Brenta, a territory historically famous as a holiday resort for the Venetian nobility. The inseparable bond with water characterizes the entire urban landscape, crossed by the Naviglio del Brenta and embellished by extraordinary patrician villas. Among these stands out the famous Villa Foscari, known as "La Malcontenta", an architectural masterpiece designed by Andrea Palladio and included in the UNESCO World Heritage. In addition to its extraordinary historical-artistic richness, Mira boasts significant economic importance due to its historic chemical and industrial center, which developed in the twentieth century close to Porto Marghera. Today the town combines the memory of the villa civilization, its strategic proximity to the Venetian lagoon, and a vibrant productive reality, configuring itself as a crucial cultural and economic hub of the territory.

Villa Priuli Dal Pozzo

Highlight • Historical Site

The villa stands on the north bank of the Brenta Riviera, on a branch of the Via Padana, and is connected to the Riviera by a tree-lined driveway.

The first nucleus dates back to the sixteenth century and was built for the Venetian Priuli family. Later, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a monumental facade was added to the building, characterized by a loggia with three arches and Ionic columns. In some eighteenth-century prints, the villa has an almost identical appearance to the current one. Two barchesse appeared next to the villa, of which only the right (eastern) one has survived to this day. Recently restored, it is now a private residence and cannot be visited.

Arrival in Venice by bike! We leave our mounts for 2 days...if the children are sometimes "reluctant" (...) to visits, the charm of Venice by Vaporetto also seems to have an effect on them!
