Passariano: Villa Manin, History and Regional Routes
Accommodation in Passariano
Villa Manin as a cultural landmark
Villa Manin is one of the most significant Venetian villas of the 18th century. Its architectural complex covers 8,500 m². Villa Manin’s Piazza Quadra was designed by Domenico Rossi in 1707. If you would like to combine architecture, Venetian villas and Italian history, this ensemble forms Passariano’s clear cultural focal point.

History with a specific date
The Treaty of Campoformio is historically notable: it was signed at Villa Manin on 17 October 1797. The site therefore represents not only courtly architecture but also a clearly dated event in European history. For your travel planning, this connection provides a precise point of reference if you prefer historical sites.
A multimedia perspective on the villa
Another perspective is offered by the virtual visit to “Il Giardino delle Meraviglie.” It is the fourth stop on the multimedia tour dedicated to rediscovering Villa Manin and its history. The digital station thus complements the exploration of the historic site with a multimedia approach.
Regional cuisine at Villa Manin
The culinary side of Friuli-Venezia Giulia also has a specific place in Passariano. The 23rd edition of the “Sapori Pro Loco” festival for the culinary specialties of Friuli-Venezia Giulia will take place in 2026 at Villa Manin in Passariano di Codroipo. If regional cuisine is one of your travel interests, this adds a distinct attraction to the themes of architecture and history.
Route 7 between Codroipo, Passariano and Ariis
Route 7 is of interest for connecting with the surrounding region. It follows a circuit from Codroipo railway station via Passariano, with Villa Manin’s park, and Ariis, with the garden and park of Villa Savorgnan Ottelio, before returning to Codroipo railway station. The route thus links several places and parks in a single circuit. For your planning, it is particularly important that Codroipo serves as both the starting point and the return point.
Springs in the immediate vicinity
The “Ghebo. (sorgenti)” spring and the “Risorgive (ex forte)” spring are located in the immediate vicinity of Passariano. Both landscape features complement Villa Manin’s cultural focus with a natural point of interest nearby.
A cultural landmark in the wider surrounding area
The Palazzo Sbruglio palace is located in the wider regional surroundings of Passariano. It extends the cultural perspective beyond Villa Manin, while geographically remaining explicitly assigned to the wider regional surroundings. This makes it possible to view the area according to different spatial scales.
Getting there and taking bicycles
Udine, Basiliano and Codroipo are relevant for planning your journey and excursions. The three towns are served by frequent Trenitalia regional trains along the Venice–Udine route. Bicycles can be taken on the regional trains. Together with the Route 7 circuit, this provides a clear point of reference for travelers considering rail and bicycle options as part of their planning.
