Beccacivetta-Azzano: Springs, Villas and Local History

Beccacivetta-Azzano is a suitable starting point for anyone wishing to combine historic buildings, rural spring landscapes and smaller cultural sites in Veneto. The main highlights are Santa Maria Annunziata, Villa Violini Nogarola and Parco Le Sorgenti del Castello. This gives you a townscape in which history and waterscapes stand closely side by side, without requiring the individual attractions to be treated as a single complex.

Historic Sites in Beccacivetta

Santa Maria Annunziata in Beccacivetta was built in 1310. Count Dinadano Nogarola commissioned the construction of the church. It is still visible and was recently restored. It is therefore one of the specific historical points of reference that you can take into account when exploring Beccacivetta. Another important building is Villa Violini Nogarola. It was completely remodeled at the beginning of the 19th century and has officially been the seat of the municipal administration since September 28, 1997. In the municipality of Castel d'Azzano, Parco Le Sorgenti del Castello extends around this 19th-century villa. Villa Cesari also preserves visible historical details: in the private oratory on the top floor, the frescoed walls and ceiling are still preserved. The cultural profile also includes documented events from past years. The Teatro parrocchiale di Beccacivetta was scheduled to host the final performance of the “Inverno a Teatro” series on February 17, 2018. The San Luigi festival took place in Beccacivetta from June 10 to 13, 2017; four evenings of dancing were scheduled in the square in front of Santa Maria Annunziata. These dates are historical references and do not constitute a statement about a current events program.

Springs and Parkland in the Municipality

The Fosso Raziol rises in Beccacivetta in a park fed by a spring. In the municipality of Castel d'Azzano, springs and the waterways flowing from them around the castle form an environment of considerable landscape and ecological value. The Parco Comunale “Le Sorgenti del Castello” covers approximately 60,000 square meters and has particular ecological and environmental value. The “VerdeBlue” natural wildlife oasis is also located there. For planning your visit, the stated opening hours of Parco Le Sorgenti del Castello are particularly specific: the park is open every day, from 08:30 to 20:00 in winter and from 08:30 to 23:00 in summer. The different closing times are part of the stated seasonal schedule and should be taken into account when planning a visit.
