A territory that tells centuries of history. On 17 April 1345, the Greater Council of the Republic of Venice abrogated the law which until then had forbidden the citizens of the Serenissima to buy land on the mainland and so part of the Venetian patriciate's interests moved from trade to the hinterland and along the shores of the Brenta. The possibility of intensifying the exploitation of possessions on the mainland posed the problem of how to closely control production. The Venetian Villa is born Then, some country residences were built that interpreted the new requirements and in one complex they united the manor house and the buildings destined to the various services, thus creating various types of villa: - the villa-farm for those who found a new source of wealth in agriculture; - the temple-villa, a meeting place for artists and intellectuals; - the villa-palace, representative building and venue for large parties and banquets; Engraving by Vincenzo Coronelli, Hat palace in Stra with burchiello and tie XVIII century always and however, sumptuous dwellings, the work of famous architects, decorated and frescoed by excellent painters, to witness a season of splendours. The Venetian Villa originated the "holiday" phenomenon that occurred in the Veneto between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and lasted for the next two centuries, until the fall of the glorious Republic of Venice in 1797. It was for this purpose that, in the Veneto , about 2000 villas were built which still today bear witness to a centuries-old architectural culture. From the XVIth century the canals and rivers easily reachable from Venice, were bordered by sumptuous summer residences. The Canal del Brenta, which connected, along with other courses, Venice with Padua, was the fashionable canal, a place of delight and ideal extension of the Grand Canal of Venice, where more than seventy luxurious villas flourished. "The banks of one and the other side of this river are all full of palaces and the delightful habitats of the Nobles, and more opulent citizens, with Horti, Giardini, and well-populated Villages, to such a sign, that those who sail above it seems to go to pleasure in the middle of a city for the course of 16 miles that almost form a continuous Borgo, which unites the Metropolis of that State with the City of Padua "(1697 Vincenzo Coronelli). In the Veneto region, already rich in natural waterways, a dense network of navigable artificial canals was dug, veritable water highways, to connect rivers, make transport, irrigation and exploitation shorter or easier. energy; the great network of rivers and navigable canals represented for the people of Veneto the primary source of wealth because through this dense series of canals all the Venetian cities were connected to each other and all were connected to the Venice lagoon and the sea, the main points of commercial exchange . The navigation was certainly not easy and when you then sailed in channels with little slope or climbed upstream, the boats were pulled by horses, driven by cavalry, or by the same boats that walked along the bank, on the banks called towpaths. In order to facilitate navigation, the Conche di Navigazione were also built, also known as Chiuse or Porte, real water lifts that connected waterways of different heights and allowed boats to go up or down the waterway. The river routes that connected Venice with Padua were frequented by various types of boats that transported people and goods along the river auctions of the rivers, where residences were built, initially to control the activities of the farms, which then turned into splendid Villas. The Brenta Riviera, whose river auction connected Venice with Padua, was the fashionable canal, a place of delight and an ideal extension of the Grand Canal of Venice, where more than seventy luxurious villas flourished. Not far from the city, the wealthiest patricians spent their holidays, starting from Venice with comfortable boats called Burchiello that went up the Navigabile del Brenta Canal; these boats were driven by oars from S. Marco, across the Venetian lagoon to Fusina, from where they were pulled by horses to Padua, along the Brenta Riviera. The Burchiello was a typical Venetian boat for passenger transport, equipped with a large wooden cabin, with three or four balconies, finely worked and decorated. The Venetian nobility also transferred the elegance, refinement and luxury of the city of Venice to Burchiello. The Burchiello became one with the Brenta Riviera; frequented and used over the centuries by important personalities, poets, painters, musicians who described it and portrayed it in their works, the Burchiello became the symbol of the epic of the civilization of the Villas, mentioned and represented in countless works of art.
