The surroundings

Anyone with a passion for history in Fratta Polesine will find an ideal place to enrich their ‘cultural baggage’... in fact, in our vicinity there are many places that take us back to past eras, which you can visit with organised tours, including:

Giacomo Matteotti House Museum: Giacomo Matteotti lived in this house with his family, who continued to reside there after his assassination in 1924, turning it into a symbol of his struggle. The building, an 18th-century country villa, was extended in the early 20th century and purchased by Giacomo's father.
Restored between 2006 and 2009, the house underwent further renovation in 2024 for the centenary of Matteotti's death. The new layout offers an immersive experience with multimedia installations that narrate Matteotti's life and thought.

Villa Badoer (by Andrea Palladio): commissioned by Francesco Badoer to a design by Andrea Palladio. The famous villa appears in Palladio's Quattro Libri of 1570, where it is depicted with some differences to its present-day configuration.

Villa Molin (Palladian School - Villa della Carboneria): the presence, very close by, of the stupendous Palladian Badoera certainly inspired the unknown architect who, always referring to Palladio, but above all to that of a more distant realisation, the Malcontenta, designed this pleasant, dignified building that enriches us.

Villa Oroboni (Villa della Carboneria): this villa would appear stylistically to date back to the early 18th century (or the late 17th century) and presents an asymmetrical development due to the failure to complete its western part.

Palazzetto Villa, Cornoldi - Fanan (Villa della Carboneria): the construction appears to date back to the early 18th century. The property was owned at the time by the notary Francesco Villa, as evidenced by the the stucco work in the upper room, which echoes its insignia, marked by a turret and the initials F and V, surmounted by a flag with the letter N. This is confirmed by the Veneto Catastico of 1775.

Villa Monti - Viario (Villa della Carboneria): the architectural features of Villa Monti date its construction to the 18th century (F.B.). However, other sources would date the building's construction to the first half of the 17th century, commissioned by the Labia family.
