Villa da Schio

The complex was built by the Piovene family in the second half of the 1600s.

At first the construction began along the current state road, but due to a flood of the Agno stream that flows not far away, it was decided to build in the position where the villa is located today.

Recent studies have shown that initially there were two distinct buildings, one adjacent to the current chapel, and the other in the area behind the barchesse. The villa's design is attributed to the architect Antonio Pizzocaro who followed in the Palladian footsteps.

In order to dispose of the park, the Piovene family diverted the Poscola stream which would otherwise have passed through the park itself, disfiguring its harmony. From the Piovene family, the villa passed by inheritance to the da Porto family and subsequently to the current da Schio family.

Today the villa is an exclusive location both for private events such as weddings, meetings, parties, receptions and a place to find hospitality.
