Seventeenth-century architectural complex in Stra. <\/p>\n
In Stra, not far from Venice and Padua, along the Brenta River, near Villa Pisani, stands the architectural complex of the 17th century called Villa Foscarini Rossi. According to aristocratic customs, the Foscarini family sent to call famous architects like Vincenzo Scamozzi, Francesco Contini, Giuseppe Jappelli, painters and decorators, such as Pietro Liberi and Domenico de Bruni, entrusted them with the task of creating and decorating a house that emphasized the importance of the family.<\/p>\n
After a careful restoration, which has enhanced the pure architectural lines and the important frescoes, the entire complex of the Villa and Foresteria has been opened to the public, with the aim of making it alive as it had been conceived and wanted by the noble Foscarini. <\/p>\n
The halls of the Villa have become a museum, while those of the Foresteria host conferences, meetings, receptions, concerts, exhibitions. In fact, the Villa houses the \u201cMuseum of footwear\u201d, which collects the most representative models of the production of Rossimoda, which for years has been making the shoes of the most famous Italian, French and American designers.<\/p>\n
