The river, the lush greenery, the ancient villas, the unspoilt stretches of land, staying in historic residences; the pleasure of relaxing on benches by the river, admiring panoramic views where the light and colours are breathtaking. The light and colour of the Naviglio canal, of course, but also the light filtering through the trees and weeping willows, those shades that inspire poets, painters and great passions.
A river, wrote Gabriele D’Annunzio in “Il Fuoco” (“The Fire”), once magnificent and glorious in the sonnets of the abbots of Cicisbei, when barges full of music and pleasure sailed down its currents. The banks are embellished with gardens and pavilions, says Goethe, small villages overlook the shore, which is lined in places by the lively main road. Ideal places for a walk or bike ride or a romantic cruise among the Villas of the Brenta; places where you can spend an intense romantic weekend surrounded by nature and art.
