Itinerary Description:
This itinerary winds through the area known as the Terra dei Tiepolo, not far from the Riviera del Brenta. The name derives from its close connection to the Venetian Tiepolo family, to which the famous painters Giambattista and his son Giandomenico belong. The two artists purchased a small villa in Zianigo, a hamlet in the municipality of Mirano, today known as Villa Tiepolo, nestled in the quiet Venetian countryside. It was here that Giandomenico found artistic inspiration in the local landscapes and scenes of daily life…
The itinerary begins in Noale, an elegant medieval village rich in history and folk traditions, and birthplace of the painter Egisto Lancerotto. Initial stop on the itinerary is the Four-mills cycle and pedestrian path in Scorzè, which runs along the Dese River and through the town.
Return to Noale, and continue the itinerary in the direction of Massanzago, home to the 17th-century Villa Baglioni, which preserves the earliest frescoes cycle created by the young and famous Giambattista Tiepolo. Finally, return to Piazza XX Settembre in Noale.
