Villa di Modolo | Grandi Giardini Italiani

History

In the heart of the Dolomites and a few kilometers from Belluno is Villa di Modolo (Villa Miari-Fulcis), a beautiful residence built in the seventeenth century by the Miari, counts by decree of Emperor Sigismund since 1412.

The size and current appearance of the villa dates back to 1806, when a major renovation extended the building and led to the creation of a garden in the front of the villa and a Romantic Park in the back. Thanks to these interventions Villa Modolo became one of the largest villas in the province of Belluno and one of the most beautiful examples of Venetian villa in the Alpine area.

After the dramatic years of the First World War in which the villa was used as a field hospital by the Germans and then by the Italians, numerous restoration works were undertaken, along with several cutting-edge activities related to agriculture and livestock.

Today the family keeps its agricultural origins combining them with activities related to tourism, art, catering and agricultural experimentation.
