Villa Foscarini Rossi, in Stra, is one of the historic villas that tell the story of the great transformation of the Riviera del Brenta between the 16th and 18th centuries, when Venetian families built elegant country residences along the river. The villa was built in the 17th century by the Foscarini family and later passed to the Rossi family. The complex still preserves the historic rooms and artistic heritage of the villa today; it also houses the Rossimoda Shoe Museum, linked to the shoemaking tradition of the Riviera del Brenta.

In Stra, the Piovego canal flows into the Brenta river, at the height of the Naviglio del Brenta, an important historical waterway between Padua and Venice. The intersection is regulated by locks such as the Porte Vinciane, which allow for hydraulic control and navigation, also contributing to the protection of the lagoon. This junction is part of the broader hydraulic structure of the Veneto plain, articulated into upper, middle, and lower plain. The upper plain features permeable soils with deep water tables, while the middle and lower ones are characterized by finer sediments and shallower water tables, requiring a network of canals and reclamation works to manage water and prevent floods.
