Guests say they resemble Portuguese azulejo tiles. To some they remind Provence or Sicily. But the truth is another. A tour of the Museum of Santa Caterina (Treviso) it gave us a curiosity and in looking for the fathers of these coverings we ended up at Ceramics Museum of Faenza where we found our own tiles. But let's go in order.

Giretto al St Catherine's Museum of Treviso where, between culture and popular traditions, we find a stand dedicated to The Painted City of Treviso, from the homonymous in-depth study of the decorations in Treviso over the period from the 13th to the 21st century. The accompanying text reads : ” The same taste manifests itself in the exteriors of the Treviso buildings, he also expressed himself in the interiors with the application of colors and decorations on every wall or wooden surface available, from floor to ceiling”.

At the museum and in the kitchen

Even though we don't have frescoed surfaces, we enjoyed seeing the graphic similarities between the ancient Treviso wall decorations and the hand-painted tiles in our kitchen (produces. Seagulls).

Then a doubt: being that Gabbianelli (who his own story) it is a historical and particular brand, we got to the bottom of it by discovering that our tiles are present at the Ceramics Museum of Faenza and exactly who. Seagulls he collaborated with Giò Ponti, Enzo Mari, Italo Lupi e, udite udite, also with the young designers and planners of the villa Roberto Pamio and Renato Toso.

Let's start with the Treviso museum. Here are the pictures of the decorations.

The kitchen of the Villa. Details.

The big kitchen, flanked by a very useful kitchen sbratta where we find worktops and appliances, it is studded with jumbled tiles. Where a single tile repeated several times would have donated an order given by composure and repetitiveness, here some lucid madness – which also peeks out elsewhere in the villa – he gave the order to place them at random, creating an unsettling game and colors that are still current.

Gabbianelli catalogues. Circa early 70's

Thanks to Museum of Ceramics of Faenza, to the kind director Claudia Casali and the librarian Marcela Kubovova we went back to the series ‘ Hand decorated‘ by Gabbianelli that covers our kitchen. The series remained in production for about a decade. In the 'sbratta kitchen’ instead we have the series ‘cabochon‘ designed by Renato Toso in 1973 (Studio Pamio-Toso) also decorated by hand and in which opposite angles of the same color on square tiles led to combinations (quasi) infinite. In the following images the original catalogues Seagulls. (click on the images to enlarge)

What to say? A beautiful adventure 'coated’ (it is appropriate to say) of pleasant surprises. Historical courses and appeals.

He has 70 years. But he doesn't prove them. She gave him a surprise. He made him find a sea of ​​candles. But it wasn't the only ingredient.

A sax that duets with the guests to the sound of great rock pieces zigzagging between candles is certainly a great sight. For the other half Silvia has organized everything to perfection. Welcome corner & bar, then hams in the cradle, tartare & prawns in sauce, octopus, salmon, sautéed macaroni, hamburgherino al cheddar, torta, backsplashes of pancakes and crostoli, dancing and then hotdogs and frittolin late at night. The almost forty guests were free to use the different floors of the villa, in addition to external. The possibility of wandering around a location exclusive. The inevitable fireplace in front of which to dance for years 70-90 and not only.

Yesterday Day Team with an important on-demand printing multinational in the area to which each graphics agency, bodybuilder, advertising, architect or communicator have trusted at least once in a lifetime 😉. They didn't want to appear but it's understandable.

Our formatinnkeeper effect' accompanied them throughout the day, from early morning zen cake to lunch, then dinner and spirits with cigars, after dinner chocolate and rum. A full day of full immersion for the small team of executives intent on discussing future strategies in peace away from the distractions of the office. The beetroot risotto creamed with Morlacco del Grappa was elected 'Villa Bornello dish' for its obvious chromatic affinities. We have before and after photos of the fillet Wellington. The gigantic Aglione of the Val di Chiana, added to the 'bigoli in salsa' instead of the onion, it was a welcome surprise. The Barbera label 'by mistake' that accompanied part of the libations is from a niche Piedmontese producer. Thanks to the chefs and their team for leading the day by illustrating the history and particularities of the dishes, of the ingredients, of the wines. This is also part of the particular type of corporate events who we love to host here at villa is that, fireplace front, make the day exciting, intimate and productive.

Cooking team building with the company.

Plan: upon arrival an initial welcome with zen cake (which never hurts and then goes well with the Japanese lake 🙂 ), followed by projection of projects/results/strategies for the future. We then divide into teams and have fun cooking and then presenting our dishes. Chalkboards appear, chalks and prosecco that accompany the 'fearable’ jury created on the spot and which churns out votes both on the food itself and on the way of presenting it and telling it through jokes and movie quotes (they remember The Big Binge, Eating Drinking man woman, Chocolat, Ratatouille and the inevitable turtle broth ‘ Babette's Feast)

Guaranteed fun. In outline a dedicated chef, dinner in front of the fireplace, the spirits corner and much more.

They have been telling us for some time that we should also wink at tourism.

Here we are.

Original tour in two steps to the architecture of the second half of the 20th century the one that starts from our villa and arrives at the Brion Tomb. Organized together with the lords of Meter, always non-trivial in their offer, provides for the meeting in the villa for the visit and breakfast to then leave refreshed towards the masterpiece of Carlo Scarpa who decided to be buried there.

The initial purpose of the tour was to leave Villa Bornello to visit residences, factories and architectural sites in Treviso of the second half of 900 (especially of the period 1960-1985) preferably wanted by private clients, united from having believed in architecture as a language creator of places with a strong identity, and from the search for one's own quality of life and a representative place for one's business. Places still modern today. *

Often these patrons were entrepreneurs (as in the case of our villa and the Brion tomb) of the famous North East Model, and it is not out of place to think that these works are in a certain sense allied with the Venetian villas of which they share the territory. The agricultural and landowner use of the Venetian villa is not naturally present in the residences of the wealthy Venetians of the 1960s or 70, young during the war and hit by the economic boom, but they certainly have in common the fact that they were also designed to flaunt a census. The one and the other as representative residences. Hence the contact, 500 years ago as a few decades ago, to well-known architects. Scarpa, Morassutti, surplus, Fontana, Rossi, Goria, Porters&Flag, twin, Pamio, just to name a few of the Treviso area.

Back to our day. The breakfast, ideal opportunity to recharge your batteries and get to know the other participants. This will be followed by a visit to our villa designed by Roberto Pamio in the same years as the Brion Tomb, with its particular spaces, the double-height central hall, the grand monumental staircase, the eccentric cone section in the east wall and the unique "in casa" pond. All embraced by a hectare and a half of parkland.

We then move to the municipality of Altivole and immerse ourselves in the Brion Tomb, a monumental site of recent FAI heritage, with its obvious traits related to modernism, to brutalism, to Venetian art and oriental philosophies.

*It is not excluded that in the future the tour will last the whole day with a visit to other recent architectures.

Recipes, ingredients, come, cooked together with you and your guests. Spices and perfumes like from one of those drugstores of yesteryear
who held the door open to spring. You are with your guests in a environment only yours and confidential. Surrounded by greenery and design.

Why at the restaurant? Make it weird. Do it in the villa.

‘Host effect‘ is our new format for individuals and companies looking for something different from the classic restaurant, in which the cooks exploit the environments of the villa and they cook for you on sight, conversing and illustrating foods, wines and pairings. Like the hosts of once upon a time, you risk seeing them grab a chair and sit down nearby to explain to you why that Amarone marries so well the cut or the secrets of a roner with its slow cooking. All having the villa exclusively. A return to the conviviality and slowness of a time when you want to feel good in an exclusive and open space environment with a kitchen that becomes your kitchen. Immersed in greenery and tranquility, away from the crowds, surrounded by design or, for once, not confined to the table of a restaurant or the lobby of a convention center. Choose the menu first. Tailored. The mood too. You have the villa exclusively. A stone's throw from Treviso.

With a chef of your own who cooks for you on sight.

c

Held in English for a group of agents who came from half of Europe. After an intense day of work in the company they arrived who e, led by Alice and her staff, they tried their hand at cooking and dining on what they had cheerfully prepared. 😜 The pupils go for an aperitif, then they put on their branded aprons, they get to work and have fun and then stand in front of the fireplace with their 'creatures'. They end with the inevitable coffee and a drop of 'Diplomatic'. There is fun in this type of events. Here is everything you need to organize a different way to motivate a team, whether it be employees, clients or prospects. Even at Christmas.

Our customers often want to soak in the verde. This is possible every day of the year. For those who want to bring their guests outside as well, pagodas and marquees I am ideal. Place between villa, pond and park, versatile and wide, ideal for various preparations that follow one another during the event (from the welcome to the ceremony, then to lunch and eventually to the dance, not to mention the possible meeting during the corporate events) it is possible to enjoy the surrounding greenery comfortably seated. In addition to the structures you can use the portici, visit and use environments of the villa and, if you have a green thumb, the paths of the park I'm at your disposal.

The villa it lends itself well to grilling both in winter and in summer. A few days ago, for thirty people, we have set up grill and staff with welcome & spilucchi on the floor of the pond, cena, dance and chat in front of the fireplace.

We report an article by Alessandra Boiardi taken from Meetings and Congresses. Because the work, relations, productivity, they always pass through emotion too, be it an event, of stay, of conviviality.

In recent times we hear more and more often about bleisure, that is, the possibility of combining a business trip with a few days of vacation, for example by extending the business stay over the weekend. (to us of Villa Bornello also like to understand it as a situation of conviviality and business motivation away from the working walls and surrounded by greenery, even after work, even on Friday evenings, as a debilitating situation e engaging n.d.r. )

It's nothing new, but the renewed attention to work-life balance that the pandemic has bequeathed us, seems to have revived it. And it is not only from this point of view that this trend is once again being talked about. Even the binomialbleisure e MICE makes its way, but the participants of an event today are really inclined to mix the work aspect with the personal one?

The bleisure is really atrend in MICE? And how are thedestinations?

That the corporate world has changed and with it the priorities of workers is no longer a novelty. Companies are increasingly committed to improving the corporate climate and focusing onwell-being as a form of incentive and employee retention, that is, to reward employees and keep them in the company.

From the point of view of work organization, this is reflected, for example, in the decision of many companies that have experienced smart working and remote work for the first time during the years of the pandemic, to continue to offer this form of work to meet the needs of many people.

And we are also starting to talk about other forms of work "away from the desk", such as for example theworkation. How can you understand, is a term that combines the word work (Work) e vacation (vacation), but it is fair to point out that it is not – as one might think – a solution that provides, simply, to be able to work “lying on the beach”, but assumes, vice versa, a whole range of regulations.

And if these new approaches could revolutionize the world of work in a short time, what is certain is that they are already among the wishes of business travellers.

According to the’indagine di Travel for business sul workation, in collaboration with Alma Travel, who questioned his community made up mostly of travel and mobility managers, il 70% of respondents consider workation as oneopportunity to be more relaxed, even if only the 26% he claims to have practiced it in some form. The 62% he is also convinced that a period of workation would improve both life and work.

As for the bleisure, an Expedia study highlights that already in the pre pandemic for the 48% was theattractiveness of the destination in terms of liveliness to convince travelers to extend their business trip, for the 43% the fact of being in a place not to be missed from a tourist point of view,  il 38% rated the ease of moving to the destination itself and the 37% how close the weekend was.

From 'design addicted' what we are, here is the latest arrival. He is 'Ulysses' designed by Ivan Loss for Sandrigarden in the early 1980s. It is a walking stool, jaunty and ideal for picnics ( how fitting here in the park) trips or conversations in the countryside. Look at the 'brochure' – in those days it was called that – original in the final image where its uses are explained. An iconic piece son of that era and now available to our guests, or rather their backs :-). And then it's also red.

We love working on ours particular mood so different from the sumptuousness and noble storytelling of the Venetian villas. We are easy, cheeky, modern.

The design of the banqueting. Create that order that the guest likes so much. Display and not just serve. Designing a desk is designing a relationship.

Today we are hard. In the sense of hard product. We host Terex, American company producing construction cranes. They brought together who agents from Eastern Europe. (a whole day, from breakfast to aperitif, with the possibility of attending conferences and screenings. For everyone a good dose of meetings but also breaks, breakfasts, aperitifs and conviviality. In a word: networking and motivation. He big park he saw managers and agents wandering around, cellphone to ear, during breaks. Who placed the laptop under a maple tree, who on the sofa, others in the large dining table designed by Pamio, who settled in the lounge on the first floor to dominate the pond and sweep the surrounding countryside with a view. Next week we host the agents from Eastern Europe for another day of business relaxation. This one of ours mood favorites.

The businessman mixes work and fun. This, In summary, the meaning yes Blazer (business + leisure). E’ a new trend that sees business travel in its most extensive form, corroborated by a few extra days of leisure. Request: and why should I give employees holidays the day after the trips that already cost me? We want to call them benefits? They seem to have a positive impact on productivity, on the feeling of belonging to the company, on the psyche of the distant employee, also thanks to this, from feeling like a simple number. Among the side effects is stimulating creativity and ideas, to settle relations between colleagues, expand views and horizons outside the company walls, increase sociability.

Here in the villa we will soon host various groups of European agents who 'stretch’ your presence in the area for work. They come to us and enjoy afternoons and evenings of leisure sponsored by the companies for which they are representatives. To the sound of good food, wine and good music free your mind and become a team.

Corporate dinners and birthdays, team building, cooking team building, motivational, always and in any case between modern design and nature. You have some event in mind for your company?

Treviso Città e Storie non la fa semplice. Da qualche anno racconta Treviso e provincia in modo nuovo. Non rimane in superficie. Non che si vogliano escludere i consueti ‘Marca Gioiosa et amorosa’ , il radicchio rosso, il prosecco o le case affrescate. Solo loro scavano (O, giocando su di una vocale, scovano) storie piccole e grandi di un tessuto imprenditoriale attuale che, per la ricchezza che crea, diventa anche sociale, culturale, gastronomico, emotivo.

Le eccellenze classiche del territorio le sappiamo tutti. Le loro storie invece sono spesso sconosciute ai più, partono dai dettagli e raccontano esempi di qualità che fa doppiamente piacere incrociare perché letteralmente dietro l’angolo. I redattori poi imperversano. Macinano chilometri , incontrano, indagano, intervistano, fanno domande, raccolgono materiali, fotografano, impostano, affinano, cesellano e partoriscono il pezzo. In una parola fanno i giornalisti alla vecchia maniera. Una sorta di Hunter Thompson di Marca.

This piece sulla villa rende il genius loci della casa raccontandola per i suoi scopi progettuali passed e futuri. Because architecture is volume but also use. And even fantasy, come sa bene Mara Pavan, che fa attraversare ad Alice la lunetta del nostro portico-stagno per entrare in un’altra dimensione. Ed in effetti è un po’ così, and the size is very green. Qui da noi forse nessun Bianconiglio, Mad Hatter or Cheshire Cat. Però se volete una festa di ‘non compleanno’ siamo qui 🙂

Grazie Treviso Città e Storie.

E’ It was long but we did it. Natalia and Lorenzo had spotted the villa at the beginning 2020 and they chose, true to the line, to postpone the wedding twice just to have it here without masks, restrictions or gizmos of sorts. They chose the symbolic ritual in park, alongside it at lunch, entertainment for children, to the MAGE, to music, to the vintage ice cream maker with cart.

By punctuating the different moments of the day with a script that is possible here because the villa becomes a blank sheet on which customers can design their event together with us in the shadow of modern architecture. An impeccable officiant led the spouses and those present along the stages of a symbolic rite that touched solemn moments and tore a few tears that were then evaporated by the irony and music that enveloped the rite of sand. The spouses read their vows to each other in front of their children and friends and then shared the other ingredients of the day with them.

Congratulations!

Only women could add the adjective 'loving’ in the payoff of their creation to describe the gaze that this magazine turns to Treviso and its province. A thick free press that has chosen our villa to offer a gift to its loyal readers and the team. Thanks to Treviso City & Stories and to all present for an evening of those we like so much. Relax, Chatter, little formality e (TCS) community style. Among quality products, entrepreneurs, professionals and a lot desire for relationships surrounded by verde, the villa embraced those present with its long portico, playing with that once more genius loci, once a home but also a place of representation, that has accompanied her for several years now. (Photo credits: Francesco Exit and others).

It is a company meeting. Possible? Yup, they are Accenture employees (Treviso area and neighboring areas) multinational with some thousands of other colleagues scattered around Italy. The guy with the glass lying down listening to the big bosses understood the spirit we have here. Teasing you, drinks e tanto networking & chat for a midweek relaxing aperitif in a warm environment, natural and exclusive a stone's throw from Treviso. Someone even thought of coming there by bike (look down). What more could you want?

E’ what we like about the property, the fact that it was built at the time (also) by representation & networking, can still be perpetuated today in a relaxing way, not very grandiloquent or sumptuous as in other older villas. Announcement to convention centers and restaurants. Here you are at home. E, they say, if you feel.
