Villa dei Vescovi is a Venetian villa located in Luvigliano, a hamlet of Torreglia (Padua). The construction dates back to the Renaissance and is inspired by a Roman domus. It can be considered the first example of the new taste for the rediscovery of Roman classicism in the hinterland of the Serenissima.
The villa houses an extraordinary example of fresco decoration inspired by ancient Roman art in the Veneto region prior to the innovation imposed by Paolo Veronese. It has been declared a national monument and has been owned by the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) since 2005.
The villa and the park below are open to the public on specific days and times. There is a guided tour service, cafeteria and, on request, it is possible to organize events. Thanks to the renovation of the top floor, it is also possible to reside there, by reservation.
