Rendez-vous aux Jardins 2026

Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June

Villa Tiepolo Passi is taking part in the European Rendezvous at the Gardens, an initiative promoted by APGI – Associazione Parchi e Giardini d’Italia, of which the Villa is a member. The theme of the 2026 edition is View.

“Between Nature and Form: The Gaze in the Venetian Villa”

The relationship between nature and architecture shapes both landscape and social life: thus, in the Venetian villa, view becomes both experience and language.

Surrounding the villa stretches a harmonious and “well-ordered” countryside, where functionality becomes aesthetic quality. The Rustic Park and the “brolo” (the traditional walled orchard) preserve its agricultural soul; the spectacular tree-lined “stradon” projects the villa into the surrounding territory, guiding the traveller.

The topiary art of the Italian Garden celebrates humankind’s ability to shape nature, while the Romantic English Park delights visitors with irregular and exotic vistas. Here, one can discover the water circuit, a testimony to the historic domestic economy of the villa community.

Every view conceals a meaning, invites reflection, and inspires wonder.

Photography Contest: “Looking and Seeing”

Visitors are invited to take part in a photography contest by capturing, through their own gaze mediated by the camera lens, the essence of the garden of a Venetian villa. The most evocative photograph will be awarded a one-night stay for two people in the Guesthouse of Villa Tiepolo Passi, offering a different perspective on “life in the villa.”
