The Veneto region conceals some truly unique gems such as Roncade Castle, which is one of the most spectacular examples of Venetian rural culture. In fact, this structure is a marvellous Renaissance complex and the only pre-Palladian walled villa in Veneto. Roncade Castle is one of the most interesting examples of Renaissance architecture in northern Italy. It is the only pre-Palladian villa surrounded by medieval walls topped by majestic battlements. It stands in the centre of the town of Roncade, in the Veneto countryside between Treviso and Venice. The manor was donated in 900 by Otto II to the Counts of Collalto. In 1930, Baron Tito Ciani Bassetti chose the Castello di Roncade as the place that would host his family and his dream: a winemaking business in an ancient land with a vocation for viticulture since the Roman and Serenissima eras.
