One of the most beautiful historic buildings in Belluno. Located 493 meters above sea level, facing south in a prominent position on the Piave Valley and the Prealpi Bellunesi and behind the mountains of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park between which dominates the top of Mount Pizzocco.
The majesty of its main facade is clearly visible to the attentive eye from most of the Valbelluna, on clear days even from the Prealps you can see it.
The building built in the eighteenth century by the Venetian Sandi family was probably designed by the architect Domenico Rossi who embellished it with a wide avenue uphill in the front, a labyrinth of boxwood plants and a wooded park in the rear access, as well as some ancillary buildings such as stables and servants' quarters and slightly further north with the small but pretty church dedicated to San Biagio and San Pellegrino.
In IX it was bought by the Biesuz family and in 1830 it was sold to Bortolo Zasso. The Zasso family still lives there and lovingly preserves this precious building.
Majestic and elegant at the same time, the villa is beautifully set in the imposing scenery of Mount Pizzocco and the Belluno Dolomites and for more than three hundred years dominates the entire Valbelluna from the woods of Cansiglio to Feltre.
Like any work of art Villa Zasso is unique and not comparable to any other. It makes history itself. Any description is superfluous and no photograph can really represent. You must see it to breathe the atmosphere of incredible charm that Villa Zasso transmits, in an amazing osmosis with the soul of the observer, in the harmonious union between nature and art.
In 1991/1992, it was the set of the film "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" by George Lucas.
