August 24, 2026, Parco dei Pensieri

Il Parco dei Pensieri, located in the hamlet of Codiverno within the municipality of Vigonza, is a green oasis immersed in the tranquility of the Paduan countryside. Designed as a space for regeneration and reflection, the park winds along cycle paths and walkways immersed in nature, among lush trees, large grassy areas, and bodies of water that recall the ancient river and rural landscape of the territory. The area is conceived not only as a place for outdoor recreation and walks, but also as a true sensory and cultural path, where the protection of local biodiversity is combined with installations and spaces dedicated to rest, meditation, and community events. It represents a precious reference point for leisure time, offering residents and visitors an authentic contact with the natural heritage and peasant memory of the area.

Villa Foscari known as "La Malcontenta" is a splendid villa designed by Andrea Palladio for two brothers of a noble family from Venice, Alvise and Nicolò Foscari. The Villa is located in Mira, on the Brenta and it is possible to visit the interior by paying a ticket of 12 euros. Unesco Heritage. Without a ticket it is possible to visit the park and see the exterior of the villa. Arriving by bicycle it is possible to leave it inside the park and go to visit. For opening times and other information I recommend visiting the site https://www.lamalcontenta.it/contatti/

Tergolandia takes its name from the Tergola river that flows near it. It is a beautiful embankment that can be explored on foot or by bicycle, with very beautiful and fun works for adults and children. Along the way you can also stop to rest. If you reach the place by car I recommend parking in the area in front of the church of Bronzola. There are no refreshment points, you bring your own snacks, taking care not to leave rubbish in the area. N.B: I didn't post all the photos, so that you would be curious to go for a walk.

Villa Giovannelli Colonna is a rural palace in Noventa Padovana in the Veneto region near Padua, northern Italy, once famous for its sumptuous decorations. The villa was commissioned by the Giovanelli family to the architect Antonio Gaspari at the end of the 17th century. In 1738, on the occasion of Maria Amalia of Saxony, the daughter of the Polish King August II the Strong visited the villa, which was associated with King Charles of Naples and Sicily, the future Charles III. From Spain, Andrea Giovanelli and his brother Benedetto were married, decorated the facade of the villa with the festive portico and a precious entrance staircase by Giorgio Massari. On the balustrades are six allegorical statues representing the five senses: the Belvedere (sight/man), Il Odorato (smell/man), Il Tatto (touch/woman), L'Udire (hearing/woman), Il Gusto (Taste/Female) who are observed by La Ragione (top right). They were executed by Antonio Tarsia, Antonio Gai and the brothers Paolo and Giuseppe Groppelli.
