Stra: Villa Pisani

Villa Pisani, detta anche la Nazionale, è uno dei più celebri esempi di villa veneta della Riviera del Brenta; sorge a Stra, in provincia di Venezia, e si affaccia sul Naviglio del Brenta. È oggi sede di un museo nazionale, che conserva opere d'arte e arredi del Settecento e dell'Ottocento. Venne costruita a partire dal 1721 su progetto di Gerolamo Frigimelica (cui si deve anche il progetto del Palazzo Pisani in campo Francesco Morosini o Santo Stefano a Venezia, attuale sede del Conservatorio) e Francesco Maria Preti per la nobile famiglia veneziana dei Pisani di Santo Stefano. Al suo interno sono visibili l'affresco del salone delle feste, che celebra l'Apoteosi della famiglia Pisani di Giambattista Tiepolo. Nelle altre sale vi sono opere di Giambattista Crosato, Giuseppe Zais, Jacopo Guarana, Giovanni Carlo Bevilacqua, Francesco Simonini, Jacopo Amigoni e Andrea Urbani. La sua monumentalità ha fatto sì che fosse più volte scelta come residenza o come sede per incontri tra monarchi e capi di Stato o di governo; villa Pisani ha ospitato tra gli altri anche Napoleone Bonaparte che nel 1807 la acquistò dalla famiglia Pisani (ridottasi sul lastrico per debiti di gioco) per il viceré d'Italia Eugenio di Beauharnais.La Villa fu luogo di soggiorno prediletto dell’Imperatrice d’Austria Maria Carolina che vi ospitò l’elelite della aristocrazia europea del tempo:Il re di Spagna CarloIV nel 1815, lo Zar Alessandro I di Russia nel 1822, il re di Napoli Ferdinando II nel 1837, al re Ottone di Grecia nel 1837 e molti altri. Quì vi fu il primo incontro tra Adolf Hitler e Benito Mussolini nel 1934.

Stra: Villa Pisani

Villa Pisani is the name shared by a number of villas commissioned by the patrician Pisani family of Venice. However, Villa Pisani usually refers to a large, late baroque villa at Stra on the mainland of the Veneto, northern Italy. It was begun in the early 18th century for Alvise Pisani, the most prominent member of the Pisani family, who was appointed doge in 1735. The initial models of the palace by Paduan architect Girolamo Frigimelica still exist, but the design of the main building was ultimately completed by Francesco Maria Preti. From the outside, the facade of the over sized palace appears to command the site, facing the Brenta canal some 30 kilometers from Venice. The villa is part of a series of villas, which the Venetian noble families and merchants started to build in the 15th century. However, unlike the earlier buildings, which were designed as to be a pleasure house and an agricultural enterprise, Villa Pisani was primarily built as a demonstration of the power achieved by the family, since one of them, Alvise Pisani, was elected doge in 1735.The wide façade is surmounted by statues, and presents year exuberant central entrance decorated with monumental columns shouldered by caryatids. It features a large complex with two courtyards and acres of gardens, stables, and a maze. Giovanni Tiepolo painted the fresco on the ceiling of the ballroom which depicts the Glory of the Pisani family (painting from 1760 to 1762). Other Frescoes and paintings are of Gian Domenico Tiepolo Its son, Crosato, Jacopo Guarana, Jacopo Amigoni, PA Novelli, Gaspare and Diziani. Sold by the family Pisani, the villa has had a share of notable visitors: Napoleon I who acquired the villa in 1807. It hosted the Villa, the viceroy of Italy Eugene de Beauharnais. The mansion became favorite resort of the Empress of Austria Marianna Carolina and it was hosted the entire elite of the European aristocracy, the king of Spain, Charles IV (1815) to the Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1822), the King of Naples Ferdinand II (1837) to King Otto of Greece (1837) and many others.. Here Adolf Hitler first conferred with Benito Mussolini in 1934.
