Classic example of a Dominical Villa with a manor house, "Barchessa," and park, of prominent historical and artistic interest: listed in 1761, its current form dates back to the late seventeenth century. The Villa appears severe, softened by elegant triforas, with a gabled roof: having lost its exterior frescoes, it retains an entrance portal made of stone blocks. Mentioned in the late sixteenth century, in his will of 1681 Francesco Agazzi bequeaths it to his male children, who were responsible for the expansion to four floors and the construction of the Barchessa in 1691. Merchants from Bergamasco, the Agazzi family arrived in Venice in the late sixteenth century: the branch of S. Cassiano obtained Original Citizenship in 1593, allied itself with Pope Alexander VIII, and saw Marco Agazzi become Bishop of Ceneda in 1691. The branch of S. Severo acquired the Villa in the mid-seventeenth century, which they maintained until 1807; listed in the Austrian Land Registry of 1841 under the name of Co. Camillo Manfredini, their heir, it came into current ownership in the twentieth century.
Excellences of the villa: Villa Correr Agazzi is a significant example of the political, social, and economic history known as "Civiltà di Villa," promoted and realized by the Serenissima between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The historical and cultural value of Villa Correr Agazzi lies in its preservation of its function as a place designed for the management of the agricultural activities of Venetian noble families following the Serenissima's expansion into the mainland, but also as a site for leisure and cultural enrichment. The Villa is surrounded by a large Ancient Park and embellished by a Barchessa on the left side of the building, two stories high, with exposed beams and cobblestone flooring. Recently, interesting internal decorations dating from the late seventeenth century to the first half of the nineteenth century have been unearthed within the Villa. Notable is the site of an ancient secret passage that led from the Villa to the riverbank of the Livenza, useful for accessing the landing stage but also a providential escape route.
