On July 26 and 28, 2026, two events will be held as part of the “Estate Tizianesca 2026” festival, organized by the Centro Studi Tiziano e Cadore in collaboration with the Municipality of Pieve and the Magnifica Comunità, and made possible with the support of the Treviso–Belluno Dolomiti Chamber of Commerce.
Sunday, July 26, 6:00 p.m. – Villa di Modolo (Belluno)
With Francesco Miari Fulcis at Villa di Modolo
The Fondazione di Studi Tiziano e Cadore invites you to a tour of Villa di Modolo, one of the most important historic villas in the province of Belluno, nestled in the Valbelluna landscape at the foot of the Dolomites.
Built beginning in the 17th century and redesigned into its current form in 1806 at the behest of Andrea Miari, the villa stands as one of the most significant examples of a Venetian villa in an Alpine setting. Linked to the Miari Fulcis family for over seven centuries, the estate preserves a history that intertwines the political, cultural, and scientific events of the Belluno region, as evidenced by its architecture, elegant salons, barchessa, historic park, and the famous sundials commissioned by Count Francesco Miari Fulcis, a professor of geodesy at the University of Padua.
The tour will offer the opportunity to explore a place that embodies the interplay between culture, landscape, and agricultural tradition—a site now restored to the public thanks to a meticulous revitalization project that has reopened its historic spaces and rural village.
A special opportunity to discover a fascinating heritage site, where the history of ancient Venetian families intertwines with that of the Valbelluna and the beauty of one of the most evocative landscapes in the Veneto region. Event by reservation only: modolo@contemiarifulcis.it.
