VILLA ZUCCAREDA-BINETTI
Click here for Villa Zuccareda-Binetti
Villa Zuccareda-Binetti is one of the most historical buildings in the city of Montebelluna. It was built between the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries by the intellectual Bartolomeo Burchiellati of Treviso (1548-1632), a scholar with multiple interests, who chose it as his country house. During the construction of a new road that led from Pieve to Mercato Vecchio (1832), the engineer Giuseppe Legrenzi had to struggle with the owners of the funds, among them the Burchielati heirs. In fact, later on, the property was acquired by the lawyer Giovanni Ferro who, in 1838, radically renovated the building and well-documented everything with notes by the reporter Scipione Fapanni. Not much later the Villa was passed on to the Zuccareda family. It is well known that the figure of Count Domenico is of great importance to the Montebelluna community. He was a Renaissance Patriot, Cavour’s friend, exiled to Milan; appointed Chairman of the Emigrant Committee, he gave everything for his country. He held public office: for many years, he was a Municipal Councilor in Treviso, a member of the Board of Directors of the Nursing Home and the Bank of Treviso and was the first President of our Congregation of Charity. He became Mayor of Montebelluna from 1870 to 1873, supporting the decision of moving the market from the hill to the plains and therefore challenging the enemies whose interests were adversely affected: a true stream of unpopularity arose, to the extent of the Villa being burned down and his life threatened. But Zuccareda, a man who didn’t lack courage and determination, became an inexorable enforcer, alongside the young Giobatta da Armi.The citizens later on, grateful for the commendable work, built a tombstone in his honor. Only an outsider like Zuccareda would have been able to challenge consolidated relationships, interests and friendships, and guide Montebelluna into the modern world. Also, only with the arrogance of an outsider, one could think of positioning his residence on the hill, demanding that the Villa be perfectly visualized with its eastern axis facing via Roma. After the disappearance of the name Zuccareda, the Villa passed on to the Binetti family. Occupied by numerous Military Command Units, headquarters of the local Italian Forces during the Great War and warehouse during Nazi occupation, in the 1980s the structure became a dormitory for the deaf and its rooms rented out to private individuals. Finally, in 1982 it was purchased by the Municipality of Montebelluna.
