We will start first at a time from the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, an immense symbolic garden of the seventeenth century, called a few years ago the Most Beautiful Park in Italy, completely surrounded by the verdant landscape and the soft curves of the Euganean Hills. Here water features, tree-lined avenues, fountains, the intricate labyrinth and the statues come together harmoniously in an allegorical path of "Salvification" along which the visitor, traveling through various stages, from the Portal of Diana to the Statue of Winged Time up to the fountain of the Dolphins, is guided in the symbolic liberation from sins. Later we will move to visit Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia: a precious gem set in the Euganean Hills, an ancient holiday residence of the Paduan high prelates that dates back to the first half of the sixteenth century.

The villa, a part of the Italian National Trust, is a restored Renaissance-style holiday home built by nobleman Alvise Cornaro in the 16th century for the Bishop of Padova. The Villa dei Vescovi has remained remarkably intact up to the present day. It has preserved its time-honored relationship of harmonious correspondence with the surrounding countryside, a quality considered crucial by the artists who designed and built it. What to Expect at the Villa You can easily reach Villa dei Vescovi from Milan by car, train or bus for a day of relaxation with family and friends. As you approach the house, a series of vineyards give way to a lush green-walled garden. The loggias and interiors of the home are entirely covered in frescoes by the Flemish painter Lambert Sustris and reflect the beauty of the landscape. Take in the frescoes and artworks, choose to have a cup of tea or a glass of wine under the loggias, stroll through the vineyard, and relax in the large park. The park provides ample space for children to run, hide, and play. Available at your own cost is a wine tasting opportunity, a café, and a shop with souvenirs and local products. You can also book a room in their stately guest rooms to spend a night here.
