A special opportunity to discover one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Villa di Maser (Maser, Treviso) is the only villa where the architectural genius of Andrea Palladio, the extraordinary painting of Paolo Veronese, and the sculptural elegance of Alessandro Vittoria meet. Still inhabited today, it retains the charm of the residence commissioned by the Barbaro brothers in the heart of the Veneto countryside.
The guided tour ''Reflections and Colors'' leads visitors on a journey of discovery of water, a central element of Palladio's design, in a journey that unites art, architecture, and landscape. From the evocative Nymphaeum, where reflections of light and water features continually transform the spaces, to the landscapes painted by Paolo Veronese in his famous fresco cycle, each stop reveals the profound dialogue between the Villa and its surroundings.
The tour also offers the opportunity to learn about the renewed relationship between the historic residence and the surrounding agricultural estate, recently enhanced by a major restoration project. Gardens, vegetable gardens, orchards, and botanical collections tell the story of a villa that is still vibrant today, combining historical heritage, nature, and innovation.
The guided tour takes place weather permitting.
