Villa Parco Bolasco | Grandi Giardini Italiani

History

Villa Parco Bolasco is a historic building with a garden located in the heart of Castelfranco Veneto (Treviso), Giorgione's hometown.
The University of Padua, the owner of the complex, completed the restoration of the garden and part of the Villa in 2015.

The project for Villa Parco Bolasco and its romantic garden was entrusted to the architect Giambattista Meduna by Count Francesco Revedin in the mid-19th century.
Meduna first defined the layout, reorganising the area originally occupied by the seventeenth century building complex ''Paradiso'' and a formal Italian garden belonging to the Corner family, both demolished between 1803 and 1808.
The garden was designed following the mores of an English landscape garden, in fashion at the time, with the assistance of Marc Guignon and Francesco Bagnara.

The Villa Parco Bolasco historic garden still retains its 19th-century layout covering more than eight hectares of land and water. It includes more than a thousand trees and flourishing fauna plus an extensive lake with two islands, fed by the Avenale stream.
Guignon added the stables utilising several 17th-century sculptures attributed to Orazio Marinali from the previous formal garden, a semi-circular greenhouse in Moorish style, two dove-cote towers and a boathouse.
