A journey through architecture, history, and landscape, with a spectacular view of the city and a perfect balance between nature and Renaissance harmony.
The tour will start from the Rocca Pisana, which rises in Lonigo on a hill overlooking the Vicentine plain. This detachment from the “underlying life,” combined with the symbiosis between the building, which opens towards the sky and the forest, and the surrounding nature gives the visitor the sensation of being inside the Rocca and simultaneously outside, immersed in nature, with an immediate beneficial, soothing, and relaxing effect. In this sense, a day in this ancient place can be defined as “a therapeutic experience.” The Rocca, dated 1546, was not built as a main residence, but for “recreation in healthier air,” far from the smelly plain infested with mosquitoes.
In the treatise "The Idea of Universal Architecture," in which he describes the architectural features of the villa, architect Vicenzo Scamozzi indeed recounts that “Lord Vettor Pisani…a gentleman of great judgment and generosity of spirit,” despite already having structures in the brother’s lands of Bagnoli, nonetheless wanted to construct for himself, to have a place near Lonigo, for recreation in healthier air.”
