Lovers of art can visit the old La Marignana-Benetton villa, which was built in the 18th century and originally belonged to a wealthy family. Subsequently, the famous sculptor Tony Benetton became its owner. Currently, a museum dedicated to his work operates in the building. Visitors can admire the best works of the sculptor and wander the surrounding picturesque garden.
Villa Sorgato is located on the territory of the historical garden of the same name. Its area is 33000 sq. m. Perfectly preserved architecture is the main value of the unique 18th-century villa. Nowadays, it keeps an interesting collection of antique furniture and works of art. Many rooms are used for cultural events and presentations.
There are some rather unusual cultural objects in the city, as well. The Museum of sports shoes is a vivid example. Its opening took place in 1984 in a beautiful historic building. The museum is the only cultural center of its kind in the world. Some of its exhibits are over a hundred years old.
