The Villa Widmann, also called Widmann-Rezzonico-Foscari, is a villa at the shores of the river Brenta located in the small town of Mira, between Venice and Padua. The present palace was built in the 18th century. A succession of families including the Sceriman, Donà, Foscari, had previously owned the site. The present palace was apparently designed and built in 1719 by Alessandro (?...Andrea) Tirali, a Venetian architect. The Widmanns commissioned the internal frescoes mainly by Giuseppe Angeli, a pupil of Giambattista Piazzetta, and Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna, who worked with Tiepolo. The Villa is surrounded by cypress and horse-chestnut trees, and gardens interspersed by several stone statues of gods, nymphs and cupids. A barchessa (a protruding arcade wing usually functioning as storage sheds or stables) and a small church, where Elisabetta and Arianna Widmann are buried, are also part of the Villa's buildings.

Pianiga is a town in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Veneto, Italy. It is east of SR515. Pianiga is located in the extreme southwestern edge of the Metropolitan City of Venice, in part bordering on the province of Padua and in part with the municipalities of Santa Maria di Sala, Mirano, Mira, Dolo and Fiesso d'Artico. Up to the World War II the main occupation of the inhabitants was the agriculture which was conducted in accordance with local sharecroppers or tenants who worked the land of large landowners from Venice or Padua. From the World War II onwards and then more definitely from the years of economic boom several companies were established. Nowadays, the industries present within the municipal area of Pianiga are mostly engaged in building, metalworking and woodworking and in production of shoes and relevant accessories. There are also some other textile, glass processing and food processing industries. Economic development has generated a clear environmental transformation: the reduction of large tracts of cultivated fields corresponded to an increase in built-up areas; Pianiga got the appearance of a residential center while productive activities have been located in the closer precincts for example at Cazzago owing to the proximity of the rail station and highway exit and Mellaredo which is crossed by the state road connecting Padua to Treviso. Rivale is the least densely populated locality of the entire municipality, though, thanks to the establishment of a number of medium and large business, a high level of employment is available. Unfortunately, the initial urban development has grown spontaneously. The territory, which until a few years ago was used exclusively for farming, still enough recently was showing several examples of different types of country cottage, from mansions to the noble villas. In the past there were some rustic poor houses called the "casoni" (big houses) widespread in the territory which were hosting the families of laborers. Today none of them exist any longer at Pianiga, because they reminded the humiliating past of poverty, so nothing was done for their conservation and all them have been deteriorated by weather and lost forever.

The Riviera del Brenta is an area of the Metropolitan City of Venice of particular tourist-cultural interest due to the great architectural heritage of the Venetian villas built between the 15th and 18th centuries by the nobles of the Venetian Republic along the river Brenta (now Naviglio del Brenta). This territory is the natural way of communication (by land or by river) between two large cities, Padua and Venice, and then over the centuries has become the holiday resort of wealthy patrons coming from the two capitals. Driving along the Brenta Canal starting from Padua, the cities that are part of the Brenta Riviera are Stra, Fiesso d'Artico, Dolo, Mira, Oriago, Malcontenta and Fusina. The "Naviglio" is navigable by riverboats, whose best example is the famous burchiello, which once used to carry Venetian noblemen from Venice to the countryside and Padua, and which is now a tourist attraction. On the territory of the Riviera del Brenta, in addition to the Venetian villas, the panoramic views along the Naviglio del Brenta, or the magnificent small villages that make up the historic centers of the Riviera itself, other attractions have arisen over the last century; for example, one of the most important centers for the development, design, and production of high fashion footwear was founded and developed. Along the main road that runs along the Riviera del Brenta, the famous Venice Marathon takes place once a year, in the month of October. The event takes place at the traditional distance of 42.195 km and starts from Stra (in front of the magnificent Villa Pisani) to end in the historic center of Venice.
