Gorgo Al Monticano: Villas, Wine and Nature

Gorgo al Monticano: Nature and History

The GiraMonticano nature trail runs through Gorgo al Monticano and can be explored on foot. When planning a walk through Gorgo al Monticano, GiraMonticano combines nature observation and physical activity with a route through the town; the historic villas and the winery offer separate points of interest.

Winegrowing is also part of the local character: Bosco del Corner winery in Gorgo al Monticano welcomes visitors for a tour of the premises and wine tasting in a dedicated tasting area. For a day in Gorgo al Monticano, this visit can therefore be combined with the route or the villas.

Historic Villas and Architectural History

Villa Foscarini Cornaro is a historic residence built in the 16th century. The villa complex includes a 16th-century barchessa.

Villa Revedin combines architectural and ownership history. It was built by the Venetian noble Morosini family. The Foscarini family transferred Villa Revedin, together with its associated lands, to the Counts Revedin. They had the main building renovated and enlarged, giving it its present-day neoclassical appearance. The succession of ownership thus runs from the Venetian noble Morosini family through the Foscarini family to the Counts Revedin. The later construction phase specifically concerns the main building of Villa Revedin.
