Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà – Dreem
From October 18-20, 2024, the Veneto region is preparing to host the third edition of Venetian and Friulian Villas Day, an event that celebrates the cultural, artistic and historical heritage of the magnificent Venetian and Friulian villas. Following the great success of last year’s edition, which attracted more than 20,000 visitors, the event promises to provide new experiences and opportunities for discovery, thanks to a program full of initiatives designed for everyone. Organized by theAssociation for Venetian Villas (AVV) and theRegional Institute for Venetian Villas (IRVV), the Day stands out for its inclusive and innovative approach. This year, the protagonists will not only be the magnificent buildings and their gardens, but also the owners of the villas who, with their enthusiasm and stories, will bring to light the deep bond that unites them to these historic places. Through videos and meetings, guests will learn anecdotes and curiosities that enrich the narrative of these residences, as well as explore their cultural identity.

A key element of this edition is the conference to be held on October 18 in Villa Selvatico of Battaglia Terme. Questa iniziativa, aperta al pubblico con prenotazione, sarà un’opportunità per approfondire il tema dell’ecosistema delle Ville Venete, un patrimonio che racchiude tradizioni culturali, pratiche agricole, e un importante valore paesaggistico e sociale. Gli esperti discuteranno dell’importanza di garantire un approccio sostenibile, riflettendo su come la storia della Serenissima Repubblica possa insegnarci a preservare e valorizzare queste straordinarie risorse. Nel corso del weekend, dal 19 al 20 ottobre, le ville apriranno le loro porte al pubblico, offrendo esperienze tematiche peculiari. Le proposte spaziano dalla visita ai patrimoni culturali e attività all’aperto per adulti e famiglie, a degustazioni di vini e cibo di alta qualità , e persino opportunità di soggiorno nella magica atmosfera di questi storici edifici. Attraverso questa varietà di esperienze, la Giornata delle Ville Venete si propone di attrarre non solo i visitatori locali, ma anche un pubblico internazionale, un aspetto facilitato dalla disponibilità di un sito web in lingua inglese.

In addition, the AVV has recently created a “Time Line” which illustrates the history of the Venetian Villas, from their origins in 421 AD to the present day. This infographic will serve to contextualize the villas and their significance within a larger historical narrative, allowing visitors to appreciate the richness of Veneto’s heritage in a larger context. Aiming to enhance the beauty of the area and raise awareness of Veneto culture, Venetian Villas Day is sponsored by theNational Tourism Agency and the Veneto Region. Culture and history lovers cannot miss this extraordinary opportunity to explore a heritage rich in stories to tell.
