Villa Moscheni Volpi

Charming 18th Century Venetian Villa in Mira Porte. The complex consists of the main body flanked by the two barns and surrounded by the park. Through archival documentation, scholars have been able to date the complex to the early 18th century. A smaller body was subsequently added that connects the left barn to a rustic. In 1740 Francesco and Zuane Antonio Moscheni made the first report to the tax authorities. The first iconographic vision created by Francesco Costa dates back to 1750. The various restorations carried out over the centuries have not been invasive and have made it possible to preserve the building as similar as possible to its origin. In the 1900s internal restorations were carried out which brought to light a series of frescoes in the entrance hall with scenes depicting the period in which the Serenissima fought at sea against the Turks. The Villa has undergone many changes of ownership, from Moscheni to Dal Bene to Reali. In the twentieth century, the Villa and the barchessa located to the west passed to the architect Gianfranco Baldan, while the second barchessa was divided into residential units.
