Arbizzano-Santa Maria: Villa, Sacred Architecture and Nature

If you are interested in architecture, sacred art and viticulture, Arbizzano-Santa Maria and its surroundings offer different aspects of Italy’s cultural heritage – from a Venetian villa to museums, historic sites and natural attractions.

Villa and Historic Winery

The Tenuta Santa Maria di Giovanni e Guglielmo Bertani is an 18th-century Venetian villa in the Neoclassical style and a historic winery in Arbizzano di Negrar. The estate includes a walled brolo, rooms for drying grapes, wine-making areas and a 16th-century wine cellar. Anyone wishing to combine architecture and winemaking tradition will find two clearly distinct historical periods here: the 18th-century Neoclassical villa and the older 16th-century cellar.

Santa Maria in Progno and Sacred Art

Santa Maria in Progno is an 18th-century sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna del Carmine. The single-nave interior has three 18th-century altars made of polychrome marble. A fresco of the Madonna del Carmine is located on the ceiling. The clear spatial design, the colourful material effect of the altars and the ceiling fresco give the sanctuary a distinctive art-historical character.

Visits to the Chiesa di San Pietro Apostolo are scheduled from Monday to Sunday, 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., as well as on Sunday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. These fixed time slots are relevant to your daily planning if visiting the church is among your cultural interests.
