The remarkable Villa Pisani was where Hitler and Mussolini first met. It has also housed royalty such as Napoleon. The palace of the noble Pisani family lies along the Riviera del Brenta, an extension of Venetian Gran Canal on the land, 10 minutes away from Padua and 20 minutes from Venice. #History
The view from the stables of the Villa Pisani. Kings and emperors, such as the likes of Napoleon, were welcomed in the villas 144 rooms. Now, the palace and grounds are a museum with gardens and a maze to explore. It is also quiet. We nearly had the entire place to ourselves. #History
