Villa Pisani, Stra, Veneto, Italia
Villa Pisani Reflecting Pool. (18th Century).
It was begun in the early 18th century on commission by the noble Venetian Pisani family. Alvise Pisani, its most prominent member, was appointed doge in 1735. The initial models of the palace by Paduan architect Girolamo Frigimelica still exist, but the design of the main building was ultimately completed by Francesco Maria Preti.
Deserted by its eponymous family, the villa has had a share of notable and infamous visitors: Napoleon who acquired the villa in 1807. It has been a national monument since 1882. Here Hitler first conferred with Mussolini in 1934.
