The splendid Riviera del Brenta

The object of this book is to illustrate the villas along the Brenta River as they appeared in the 18th century, and as they may be admired today from the river barge (Burchiello) going from Padova to Venice and vice-versa during the months (April-October) in which Mother Nature completes the suggestive architectural beauty of so many buildings in this tract of Venetian earth.
