Villa Cavazza Querini

Villa Cavazza Querini was completed in 1542 on commission from the Venetian Cavazza family, whose origins are from Bergamo but who were involved in important diplomatic activities in Venice.

In 1643, ownership of the villa passed to a noble family of the Venetian aristocracy: the Querini di Candia, of the Santa Giustina branch. Belonging to this family was Pietro Querini, a Venetian patrician and member of the Great Council of the Serenissima.

He is historically considered the importer of stockfish into Italy: history, in fact, tells us that in 1431 Querini was the victim of a shipwreck which led him to land fortuitously in Norway, where he learned the fishing and conservation techniques of stockfish which he promoted and spread once he returned to Venetian soil.

In 1720 the villa was completely renovated and enlarged by the Querini with various interventions which, overall, gave it its current structure; at that juncture the modification of the façade was prepared to give it greater monumentality, the expansion of the west wing in the 18th century - which was followed by that of the east wing in the 19th century - and the construction of a small church dedicated to the SS. Peter and Paul, which features a frescoed sundial.

The entire villa is surrounded by a wall adorned with valuable eighteenth-century statues. In front of the building there remain, as a reminder, some statues decapitated at the hands of the Germans during the occupation of the First World War.

Furthermore, tradition has it that the villa also hosted Gabriele D'Annunzio: in this residence, during his exploits, the writer, poet and aviator would have coined the motto "Eia, eia, alalà".

The villa, built in Visinale, a hamlet of Pasiano di Pordenone, stands out for being one of the oldest in western Friuli. The West Wing of this authentic Venetian Villa was taken over by a local family, who with passion and dedication carried out an accurate restoration project - recovering the entire residence, developed on three floors - starting an exclusive Bed & Breakfast: Ca ' Eighteenth century.

Immersed in the greenery of the countryside and located in a strategic point for those who want to visit the area or travel for work commitments, on the border between Friuli and Veneto, between Treviso and Pordenone.

After a careful restoration it has become a period residence, furnished in style and harmony, where you can stay in a welcoming environment full of hospitality.
