Proceed east in the direction of <strong>Malcontenta<\/strong>, keeping the Naviglio Brenta on your left. Once in Malcontenta, take a moment to admire <strong>Villa Foscari<\/strong>, known as \u201c<strong>La Malcontenta<\/strong>\u201d, the only villa by <strong>Palladio<\/strong> in Riviera de Brenta and listed as a <strong>UNESCO<\/strong> World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n<p>Continue toward <strong>Dogaletto<\/strong>, once home to the strategically located Benedictine <strong>monastery of Saints Hilary and Benedict<\/strong>, founded by the monks of San Servolo between the Lagoon and the mainland.<br \/>\nAfter passing <strong>Gambarare and Piazza Vecchia<\/strong>, we take the right bank of the <strong>Canale Novissimo<\/strong>, a canal dug by the Venetians to regulate the waters, which will lead us to <strong>Mira Centro<\/strong>. We then cycle along the Naviglio Brenta until we reach <strong>Mira Porte<\/strong>: we cross the small square where the ancient locks once stood, cross Parco Valmarana and admire the <strong>Barchessa Valmarana <\/strong>and, on the opposite bank, <strong>Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The final stretch will lead us back to Riviera San Pietro in Oriago, the starting point.<\/p>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"page-element\">\r\n    <div class=\"container-fluid\">\r\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\r\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-xl-10\">\r\n                <div class=\"row align-items-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"col-12 col-xl-4 offset-xl-0 mb-5 mb-xl-0  text-right page-tris\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larivieradelbrenta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MAT04750.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid imagesToLoad page-tris__img w-100\" alt=\"1\" \/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"col-12 col-xl-4 offset-xl-0 mb-5 mb-xl-0 text-center\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larivieradelbrenta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MAT04762.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid imagesToLoad page-tris__img w-00\" alt=\"2\" \/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"col-12 col-xl-4 offset-xl-0 text-left\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larivieradelbrenta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MAT04857.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid imagesToLoad page-tris__img w-100\" alt=\"3\" \/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[21],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 -
