La villa ospite all’interno di una mostra che racconta, attraverso le opere di diversi architetti, non solo la storia dei progetti ma anche il ritratto di una una generazione di committenti.

A dense and unique event and exhibition. Telling the story of a territory and an era through the relationship between designers and clients. On the one hand, architects trained in a certain school, dall’altra un nuovo ceto emergente del dopoguerra desideroso di essere rappresentato da oggetti ed architetture.

[e]DesignFestival, al suo quinto anno di vita, ne fa un’altra delle sue realizzando una mostra azzeccata perché racconta di progetto, di storia locale (and not) e di società per spiegare la trasformazione di un territorio.

Villa Bornello, drawn by one of the protagonists, Roberto PamiO, and by Renato Toso, participate with drawings, oggetti e talks, at an event featuring six architects and, potentially, thousand clients. Many of the latter are born at the turn of the years 20 e 30. They are teenagers when they live with the Germans and avoid Allied bombs. Dopo una guerra l’occasione è data da un’economia che riparte. They are lucky enough to be able to rebuild. A 30-40 anni vivono il piano Marshall ed il boom economico. Sometimes without too much schooling, they understood, willpower and religion of work. Un Dna tutto Veneto a bagno in un dialetto per loro lingua nativa che lubrifica le trattative e cementifica le amicizie, which changes meaning in Italian: ‘Arrivismo’ non come opportunismo, utilitarianism, selfishness but as redemption, self-esteem. Arriving removes the rubble of poverty, of a large recent emigration, of a conflict whose echoes are still heard. E’l habitus by Bordieu, a role related to one's work, to a social position thanks to goods, practices and circles of people. Wealth and social recognition for a generation that is unique in its own way, not so much for the results achieved by some, as well as because widespread capitalism was born with them. Before them an agricultural Veneto, few large industrial companies, a discreet illiteracy; for many others the first class would have cost a thousand lire and the second one hundred, the third pain and fear.

The house is born & càpanon che Paolini racconta a teatro, then the North East model, the districts with all their strength and limitations.

We need something to testify, how celebrated, what guests, that sells. The exhibition tells of villas, factories, condominiums, monumenti funebri, (but also of public works) e prodotti di quell ‘ “industria diffusa dei beni di consumo a medio contenuto tecnologico, ma ad alto contenuto di immagine” come dice Masiero, entrusted to architects who interpret the style and expectations of private clients or companies.

Una mostra da visitare più volte visto l’allestimento volutamente dinamico e zeppo di dettagli. Un viaggio all’interno della seconda metà del ‘900 locale, ma da un’ottica nuova e diversa.

Architects and design from IUAV: works from 1960 al 1990. Dal 30 November 2024 al 23 February 2025. Bailo Museum, Treviso

Qui la presentazione di [e]Design Festival.

La mostra vede in contemporanea un altro evento presso il Museo di Santa Caterina, con una selezione di grafiche della collezione Salce, dedicate a grafica, architettura e società dello stesso periodo.

Per la villa è un secondo importante passo dopo la recente partecipazione al progetto AOMV che si muove su scopi simili.

This is how Francesco celebrates his first four decades. Perhaps less adventurous than those of Marina Ripa di Meana which the title is inspired by, but still four decades! The guests, as always, they are free to wander among architecture e verde in an environment a reserved for them with corners of nature and spaces in which to relax. We also had entertainment for the children (parents are therefore very free to listen’ to the birthday boy and chat freely). Again one customization tailored to the wishes of the client who uses the villa as his own canvas. And we are his assistants 🙂

Vidisha and Andrea between architecture, nature ed large spaces for a sparkling and playful wedding. Dal tableau ‘Matrimoniopoly’ to games for guests, from the Nsu Printz to the trio whose solution is:’I love you’.

The bride's direction combined all the ingredients to make both the palate and the eyes of the guests happy. The villa provided all the fittings.

We like it that way, strange.

The brand is organizing a two-day meeting between agents and retailers from the North East here in the villa.

They wanted something different, not the restaurant or conference center room. Their format also includes mirrors and plants, met the mood informal atmosphere of the villa. The Padua company presented its new collections to opticians in the North East. The location hosted the works, le coffee stations all day long, lunches in cooking pots, the chatter between salespeople as usual light and hospitable manner immersed in verde.

A’ another heir of Hippocrates vows to have fun like crazy at her graduation party, at the end of several years bent over sweaty papers.

The ingredients are all there. Cool evening, about fifty friends, one band, a super catering of pickles and finger foods, light but never ending. Arrangements with the red-graduation color a little’ anywhere. The papyrus and some gunshots (with water !), the dance, you sing them, l’open bar, refreshing fruit skewers and a gigantic tart. Feeling free to wander around villa and the park.

Wedding as an event or as something intimate and heartfelt? One hundred and fifty, two hundred people or thirty-fifty intimates perhaps allowing themselves a certain luxury? What if you did it just the two of you or with very few friends, but it lasted two or three days? There are many possibilities. Here are some examples of what we organize here villa.

Micro-wedding

The microwedding is an intimate celebration, around the 50-60 invited to the maximum, which allows the spouses to experience every single moment of the event and to lovingly take care of all the guests. It can turn into a luxury wedding, treated with attention to the smallest details, thanks to the small number of participants. Imagine being able to share a little holiday with your friends people closest to you, perhaps spending a few days relaxing before or after the big day.

Minimony

Minimony is a perfect formula for couples who don't want to give up officially getting married and celebrating their love on the day it was planned. The reception with all the guests is only postponed at a later time, when it will be possible again. Minimony is therefore the intimate celebration with parents and siblings. The “sequel” with friends we will do it another time. Here in Villa they often organize the premiere, intima, for lunch and then the party with the kids amici it will be.

Elopment

From here we slide into the actual development, that is, the possibility of celebrate your wedding as a real romantic escape. Only the married and in some cases very few intimates , they organize a trip with a ceremony in the villa (for example two or three days in Veneto, between the Prosecco hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Venice with wedding and overnight stay in the villa. Services such as photographer or videomaker are generally insured, wanting.

Giorgio's birthday, the globetrotter who loves wine and the mountains. With a pleasant surprise, an original Bulli Volkswagen!! A simple and delicious catering, but modular and expandable. A selection of wines including a strawberry left chilled for dessert. All immersed in nature and in the’architecture

Thanks to @atlasofvenetomodern for last Saturday's visit sponsored by @ordinearchitettitreviso e @fondazionearchitetturatreviso. The project AOVM aims to publish a book on Venetian architecture of the second half of the 20th century in which the villa is present. Thanks to the Arch. Bertin founder at AOVM.

It was a beautiful day in between architecture and anecdotes from the villa. Above all, remembering as a generation of entrepreneurs, at the turn of the economic boom and the birth of the famous Districts of the North East to which they had contributed, turned to architects capable of giving shape to their ambitions. Having presented several dedicated publications along the way was appreciated, many original drawings and also many invoices of the time lovingly typed on two-color tissue paper. Testimony of a sign of the times which completes the history of the villa and its arrival today with many parts (practically all of them) still faithful. By the way, we'll do it next year 50 years. We need to think of something!

Chatter, stories, conviviality, handshakes, turn of the park, nature and refreshment in full mood Villa Bornello.

80s and 90s evening for Marika's fiftieth birthday & Katia. 'Vinyl' setup, games, open bar and entertainment in the verde. Between villa and park a party in total relaxation. Spills, good wine and a DJ set to this for them and their friends. Catering by Topbanqueting. Event powered by Michael Brioschi.

Shooting of product in the villa taking advantage of the splendid day. Casarialto chose to shoot here one of the latest glass table furniture collections inspired by nature and partly by dragonflies. That who they are not missing :-).

Very, very particular objects, result of a profound passion for the art of glass.

Little secret: in image number 9 there's a trick 🙂

Sponsored by Treviso Architecture Foundation and from’Order of Architects of Treviso the project AOMV (Atlas Of Veneto Modern) it is a project that aims to tell the story of the Region through the architecture of the second half of the 20th century. In this period of time, between post-war reconstruction, Marshall plans, economic booms and more, a territory that until a few years ago was predominantly agricultural gives rise to a new generation of entrepreneurs and administrators who give rise to profitable commissions with as many architects and professionals. The project Atlas of Veneto Modern, by the Arch. Davide Bertin, it is not a guide or a tourist map, but an essential tool, inseparable and portable. Vehicle at the service of those who participate or, more simply, he is interested in Italian architecture in Veneto. An exhaustive atlas of "good building" created in the second half of 900.

Atlas of Veneto Modern observes architectures that in some cases have lost their function as a home or infrastructure, but they still show materiality, decorations and details, difficult to replicate today.

E’ above all a new way of thinking, halfway between architecture and sociology, to watch, get an idea and cover established territory, also, of architecture.

For the Villa the date is that of 6 July. Save the date.

They even wanted grass (a bit) high these 'frikketoni', in order to have the daisies so dear to us nostalgici seventies. Dyane 2cv was missing, Bulli Wolkswagen and portable record players but as for fringes, hair ties, wedges, Rayban, floral shirts, mileage lapels, leather jackets, genderless overalls and elephant paws, they were second to none. A feather boa was also spotted meandering around.

Federica and Alessandro thus celebrated their wedding, giving an often formal event such as a wedding a jaunty touch. Catering in linea, refined but informal. Some flashes towards 23.00 it was immortalized by the villa photographer above the band (Credits: Bitols singer & dj ) that sounded.

Two degrees in the same evening. Why not ?

Marilena Boccato and Gian Nicola Gigante they are two designers from Treviso who have been active above all over the years 70-90. Engaged in both architecture and industrial design, they designed for Seccose, Panto, Zerbetto, Caloi, Ultom and many others. In collaboration with the Paduan Antonio Zambusi they also drew a lot for Sicart, famous bathroom accessories company based in Cartigliano (VI). For the bathrooms villa in due time their objects were chosen. Especially the series Cancel (circa 1975-76). Now the factory is no longer there but their pieces or soap dishes, coat hangers, toothbrush holder, toilet brush holder, roll holder and more, they still populate our bathrooms in an absolutely coordinated way. And they're fine.

Not long ago this beautiful story happened: the serious Cancel it was designed in a clean, thin steel profile that supported ceramic containers. A few nicks over the years’ ceramics took it. Wanting to replace them we faced not one but three problems: the pieces had been out of production for decades, the factory had closed a few years ago and, last but not least, an Arab who wanted to get rid of warehouses had bought it, projects and history. This seemed difficult. Having abandoned the idea of ​​involving heirs and the like, we went back up again, Once again, to those who frequent the factories(of)a: i designers !

Search and research we met a historic designer from Sicart, the professor Spanish Angel,. Thanks to him we managed to access the factory, where the professor found some old plaster casts of’Cancel. From here we then obtained the replacement pieces made by a ceramist from Nove, thus managing to maintain the spirit of the times in the bathrooms, the same original pieces from the 70s out of respect for the aesthetic choices made at the time and even for a while’ with a healthy vintage spirit.

And then having survived the temptation to radically change them for fifty years was certainly rewarded 🙂

The objects today

Sketches, projects and catalogues originals

Amarcord

Five years only happen once 🙂

Children's area with entertainment, inflatable, bubbles, face painting and off we go. Far away from there is the parents area with nibbles, wines and lounges. In the middle the verde is the master. We play football, yes tyrant fresbees, we chase each other, the Indian hut is built. But the pond is also attractive. E’ there, at the edge of the lake, who cuts the cake at the end of a red carpet and under a display of balloons.

And then I play again, corse, shouting under the watchful eye of parents who know they have everything under control having all the exclusive space dominated by the gigantic Himalayan cedars at the foot of the hills.

How it ended? With the children collapsed in the back seats of the cars. In their immediate future a hot shower before bed.

Birthday party. From the welcome to the cake, from music to opening presents. From group photos to chatting in the park. The relaxation of a modern villa (she is also Venetian, but luckily it hasn't 500 years ;)) into the green. Ed exclusive. 

She and her family are Moldovan. Halfway through the party, traditional dance with all the cheering relatives revolving around the beautiful birthday girl. It was like being in a Kusturica film.

Bello.

The appointment with the architecture tour in collaboration with is renewed Meter. After the beautiful day last year, il 4 May you will be guests in the villa with a tour of Pamio's work & Toso and an aperitif in the park and then visit Carlo Scarpa's Brion tomb (of which i ‘ our’ they were students) in Caselle di Altivole. All inclusive of authorized guides. You can find info, a pleasant chat where you can chat with the other participants and above all registrations on site the Meeters.

Like a big eye looking at the property this fixture was born without lids or blinds. An enormous praline inserted by a giant into a concrete glaze causes the wall inside to curve. ‘In dolce’, like many others details of the House. The images of one magazine in which it was published and the very recent ones at ten meters high, for a facelift we are doing to it, allow you to see it (and cuddle him) close.

Our collaboration with Companies Talks continue with the story of Tesla. We are pleased to invite you to the online event “The History of Tesla”: throughout the day today Tuesday 5 March you will be able to access for free to the vision of “The History of Tesla”, one of the new business stories developed by Companies Talks.
