Find Po Delta cycling tours →A 22-metre crenellated tower — all that survives of the late-16th-century Villa Morosini, attributed to Vincenzo Scamozzi (of the Palladian school) — stands just a few kilometres away in Polesella. The villa was a summer residence linked to the Morosini family; the tower and surviving wing now host cultural exhibitions.
