One of the palaces built by Ezzelino III, known as the Terrible, witness to medieval Padua. The original manufacture appears to date from the 12th century. Ezzelino Palace The architectural image seems to have been largely configured around the 13th century, due to the similarities with the municipal buildings of the same period, clearly visible for example in the shapes of the stained glass windows on the upper floor. The house, surmounted by an elegant 15th-century Nanto stone coat of arms, was affected by fire in 1760, from 1794 to 1873 the rooms above the vault were reduced to a theater hall. On the facade of the building to the right of the Volto della Malvasia, a plaque with a bronze medallion was barbarically hung here in 1944 in memory of Flavio Busonera, member of the resistance. The palace is currently a private building and cannot be visited internally. Source: https://www.padovanet.it/informazione/palazzo-di-ezzelino

Villa Contarini has a unique history of its kind, made up of alterations and abandonments. The first building was built on the remains of a castle dating back to the year one thousand and until the middle of the sixteenth century it remained a fortified structure. Purchased by the Contarini family, it was rebuilt as a rustic residence perhaps following a project by Palladio. However, it was the subsequent interventions, commissioned by Marco Contarini, procurator of San Marco, that determined the current appearance. A period of abandonment followed which lasted until the mid-1800s when the complex was bought by the Camerini family, who restored the building and finished it following the stylistic dictates of the time. The English garden dates back to the same period. The villa was abandoned again after World War II and it was only in the 1970s that, thanks to the interest and work of Giordano Ghirardi, new restoration works began to open this architectural treasure to the public. In 2005 Villa Contarini was purchased by the Veneto region.
