Venetian Villa in Levada

Villa Maruzzi-Marcello stands in Levada and provides a specific connection to Venetian architecture within Piombino Dese. Its location in Levada distinguishes it from the palaces and museums in the wider surrounding region of Piombino Dese.

Historic Treviso–Ostiglia Route

The Treviso–Ostiglia cycle and footpath crosses Piombino Dese along the former route of the historic railway line that connected Treviso with Ostiglia in the province of Mantua from east to west. In Piombino Dese, the path runs for many kilometres. This length and the east–west direction are important reference points for route planning. Black locusts, maples and oaks shade the Treviso–Ostiglia cycle path and form a linear woodland. Only the original railway stations interrupt this succession of trees; today, they should be enhanced. The route therefore combines its current designation as a cycle and footpath with the course of a historic railway line. The tree species and the original railway stations are just as much part of its character as the connection between Treviso and Ostiglia.

Cornara Nature Oasis and Other Landscapes

The Cornara nature oasis is an area of approximately 10 hectares with two ponds between Via Albare and the Dese River. The two ponds give Cornara a strong water-related character.
