The North East Italy / Veneto region

Northeast Italy (Italian: Italia nord-orientale) is an informal cultural and geographic region of Italy and subregion of northern Italy. It is generally considered to be comprised of three Italian regions: Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Some author include in Northeast Italy also the region of Emilia-Romagna; but this region is sometime neither considered part of Northern Italy but of Central Italy. For geography, history, ethnical ties and culture, another region of Northeast Italy may be considered Istria. Italian is the main language of the area: but, it is often used only with strangers or in the main cities or for cultural reasons, because the most part of the inhabitants speaks their own national language; so we have Venetian language widely spoken in Veneto and on the coast to Trieste and Istria, but recognised just by region Veneto; Friulano in the most part of Friuli, it is officially recognised by the Italian state; as for German, the first language of Alto-Adige/Südtirol, where Italian is spoken just by less than a third of the inhabitants; as Ladin, spoken by a few thousands people in the Dolomites; then Slovenian, spoken (and recognised by Italy) on the border of Italy and in Istria; where main language is Croat, but Italian is recognised as a minority language.

The terms Tre Venezie or Triveneto (literally "Triple Veneto"), refers to the three regions of Veneto (before 1947 Venezia Euganea, united to Friuli) Trentino-South Tyrol (once Venezia Tridentina) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Venetia, a region which indicated the old land provinces of Venice Republic from river Adda to river Isonzo, and that is sometime used still today to indicate this territory together with Trentino and Trieste.

Venetia et Histria, an old region of Italy at the time of Roman Empire, refers to Veneto, Trentino, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, East Lombardy and Istria; it was named after the people of Veneti, who inhabited that region, and who are still largely the main ethnical group of the Italian area (other main ethnical groups include Friulani in the east, mostly in Udine province; Ladini in the Dolomites, between Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige; German-Tyrolese in Alto Adige/Südtirol; and Slovene minorities on the border with Slovenia and in the city of Trieste); while after 1947 Venetian/Italian people are just a minority in Slovene and Croatian Istria.

Verona / Valpolicella area

VERONA IT'S A MUST: Verona, the largest city in the region after Venice. With a rich Roman and Etruscan past, feudal families dominated Verona. In 1263 the Scaligeri family began their 124-year rule of Verona. In 1387 Verona fell to the Visconti of Milan, and a succession of outsiders—Venice (Venezia), France, and Austria—then ruled the city until the Veneto was united with Italy in 1866. Verona is a vibrant trading centre and one of the most prosperous in northern Italy. Its ancient centre boasts many magnificent Roman ruins, second only to those of Rome itself, and fine palazzo built of rosso di Verona, the local pink-tinged limestone, by the city’s medieval rules. As a setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona is still a magnet for lovers. Aesthetically pleasing, swathed in pale pink stone curling along the banks of the River Adige, streets paved with marble and lined with discreet restaurants and designer shops.

Please find below list of Golf Club in the region: GOLF CLUB VERONA, GOLF CLUB VILLAFRANCA, GOLF CLUB FRANCIA CORTA, GOLF CLUB ARZAGA, GOLF CLUB BOGLIACO, GOLF CLUB GARDAGOLF, GOLF CLUB CA' DEGLI ULIVI. Please ask us for details.

HISTORY OF VILLA SERENELLA
Planned and built in the 16th Century by architect Andrea Palladio and originally named Villa Acquistapace, the Villa's illustrious former owners include the Floriani family, who left their testament on a beautiful acquaforte dated 1744, that depicts the Villa with the description 'view of the Floriani brothers' Palace in S.Pietro in Cariano in Valpolicella'. On the death of Pietro Floriani Sbatacchia in 1871, the Villa was inherited by Francesco Ferrari and remained in the Ferrari family throughout the 19th Century. Today the Villa is known as La Serenella and has its main entrance in S.Guiseppe Square.

ACCESS TO THE VILLA
You access the villa through the main entrance with a magnificent gate, that resembles those in The Arche Scaligere in Verona; on the left you can spot the little villetta of the guardian in liberty style, and on the right the chapel entitled to S.Giuseppe, the shovel on the altar inside the chaple represents a sacred family with S.Francesco d'Assisi. The beautiful internal sealing was all painted, probably in the 18th century, with four scenes of angelic concerts.You get to the palace walking through an amazing pathway surrounded by ancient trees and by an italian traditional garden, signed by many classic statues. The main facade on the meridian side of the villa is carved by four plain columns, and with a marmoreum family blazon, and another one is painted on the posterior facade. In the loggia you can find several sculptures, showing figures of different ages, and carved in the front two marbles of fiammingo taste, showing friuts and game.

PALLADIO 2008 !! Five Hundred Years Later - 01 September 2007: Five hundred years are an important turning point, especially if they fall on the last quarter of the second millennium, which showed that acceleration of history in which trends and fashions followed one another at increasing speed. To be still en vogue, or better, highly acclaimed, is an achievement only few have reached. Within the restricted elite of intellectuals, Palladio is the only architect: think of the post modern revival, but think most of all of the attention his works arouses in every new generation of designers. And his artistic conception reveals new aspects every time; the latest of which, in this time of environmental problems, the relationship between man and nature, between architecture and territory, thus mixing in modern terms the Renaissance concept of the useful and the pleasant. Villa LA SERENELLA is an ideal location to start your tours to visit the Palladian Villas in the near Vicenza.
