The Villa Foscari is one of the better-known villas on the Brenta Canal and one of Palladio’s finest. It is the most admired and copied villa, with its excellent proportions, temple portico and stupendous staircase. The interior has some very elaborate frescoes by Zelotti, though only a few are visible due to restrictions on visiting. The setting of the villa is superb with its best view from the Brenta Canal framed by fantastic willows sweeping into the canal, while beside the villa is its beautiful garden.
