Guided tour
Through a guided tour of the architectural complex, visitors can discover the two main products of the Riviera del Brenta: the Venetian Villa and footwear. In fact, the over 700 m² of exhibition space in the Villa Padronale houses around 1,350 models of luxury women's footwear, produced by the Rossimoda shoe factory in collaboration with the most prestigious fashion houses on the international scene, in over seventy years of activity. Inaugurated in 1993, the Museum has the task of bearing witness to the knowledge of the territory, disseminating knowledge of the shoe-making tradition of the Riviera del Brenta and documenting the evolution of costume and fashion in the second half of the twentieth century through the 'footwear' accessory.
The visitor, intoxicated by the harmony, creativity and craftsmanship that distinguish the 'Made in Italy' product, will also find these values in the historical architectural structures and in the perspective plays of the marvellous 17th-century frescoes in the Salone delle feste of the Foresteria, painted by Domenico de' Bruni and Pietro Liberi, where the visit will end.
