Villa Tiepolo Passi, Venetian villa and family estate in Carbonera, Italy.
Villa Tiepolo Passi is a Venetian country villa in Carbonera, near Treviso, with Sansovino-style ceilings on the ground floor. The estate also includes a chapel, gardens, agricultural buildings, and a collection of 17th-century Venetian paintings.
During World War I, the estate was used as an army headquarters and as a hospital for the Italian Red Cross. King Victor Emmanuel III visited the villa in person during that period.
The chapel inside the villa displays decorations in the Tiepolesque style, painted in 1774 by Giambattista Canal. Several rooms also feature frescoes by Pietro Antonio Cerva, which visitors can see during a guided tour.
The property can be visited on guided tours, and overnight stays on the estate are also possible. Local farm products, including wine and olive oil, are available to buy directly from the villa.
The villa stands on a prehistoric Venetian hillfort, which means it was built on a site already occupied for thousands of years before the current structure appeared. It also lies on a straight geographical line between Venice to the south and Belluno to the north.
