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.
