Villa Pisani – La Nazionale
-
A splendid two-floor 18th-century villa designed for Doge Alvise Pisani, with 114 sumptuously furnished rooms and an impressive ballroom decorated by Tiepolo (see Giambattista Tiepolo). Above the huge façade columns, scores of statues line the roof overlooking inner courtyards and a spacious park where the Venetian nobility would promenade on summer evenings. Be sure to try out the wonderful 1721 circular maze. The guest list has included onetime proprietor Napoleon, Russian, Austrian and Swedish royalty, Mussolini and Hitler.
