The River del Brenta is the main character of the lands between Padua and Venice. The river, with its slow flowing seems to invite you on a boat tour at the discovery of the same beauties that had once enchanted artists like Goldoni and Casanova, Byron, Goethe or D'Annunzio.
Tens of Villas are the backdrop to this landscape. They had been commissioned to the most illustrious Italian art masters by the Venetian Aristocracy, which used them as their summer mansions for grand banquets, boat parades along the River, magnificent parties.
Venetian nobles used to navigate the river on boats known as Burchielli, which were drawn by men, oxen or horses from the river banks, while goods were transported on boats called Burci.
