My friend and I, on Saturday we were near Vicenza and so we made a leap to Santorso in the province of Vicenza to visit the historic Rossi Park of Villa Rossi.
To tell the truth the idea was to take a trip to the Oasi Rossi a place where thousands of butterflies are collected but when we arrived unfortunately we had not booked and therefore we had to wait a long time so we preferred to visit the park of the villa which is practically completely free and free from any booking.
Yes, because from what I understand this park is owned by the municipality of Santorso and the municipality of Schio and is practically a garden of naturalistic value but also a truly romantic place.
there is a cooperative that takes care of the maintenance of this place and let's say a series of volunteers including the Alpine troops try to avoid the degradation of this place that to tell the truth I did not find in excellent condition but it is very pleasant to spend a day here in the midst of nature and certainly a great fortune for those who live in these parts.
There is also a point inside the park where you practically find yourself under the pond and you can see the fish like when you are inside an aquarium, think at the time what a beautiful attraction it must have been.
Then there are some very beautiful passages where from The garden you go up to the floor of the villa.
I must say that the villa is well kept I did not think in these good conditions, it is a pity that it cannot be visited internally and this was my big disappointment.
I practically understood by reading on the Internet but also the few signs present that this villa was purchased by a great industrialist from Schio who was called Alessandro Rossi, and bought the eighteenth-century villa with the church attached, he also bought a considerable extension of land alongside and decided to make an oasis of peace and therefore created this park.
What you see above in the photo is the church that was attached to the villa and is located in a truly hidden place.
What I liked most about this whole visit is the fact that it has been made accessible in part as regards the path you have disabled with an intervention by the Municipality, but above all they have also created a path with some multimedia stages that thus allow not only to know the history but also the naturalistic botanical value that this historic park can certainly have.
I hope you virtually enjoyed this place I tried to bring as many photos as possible to somehow make you participate in my visit.
Thanks for reading
