The story
The story of SAREGO
Between the Colli Berici and the Bassa Vicentina
Sarego's territory extends from the first southern slopes of the Colli Berici down to the plain, in a landscape that alternates hillside vineyards with cultivated fields. This hinge position has long shaped both the farming economy and the settlement of noble villas, which favoured the hill slopes for their pleasant setting.
Villa Trissino at Meledo
In the hamlet of Meledo, Andrea Palladio designed Villa Trissino in the sixteenth century, conceived with a monumental layout that included curved porticoes and a large central block. The project was never fully completed, but the parts that were built are included in the UNESCO serial site bringing together the city of Vicenza and the Palladian villas of the Veneto, a mark of the work's architectural importance.
Villa Da Porto La Favorita
Villa Da Porto, known as "La Favorita", is another significant example of noble architecture in the Sarego area. The building, which belonged to one of the historic families of the Vicenza area, retains the layout and proportions typical of Venetian country residences of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The wine of the Colli Berici
The hillside areas of the municipality fall within the production zone of Colli Berici wines, a denomination that includes several red and white grape varieties grown on the limestone soils of the Vicenza hills. Local farms often offer direct sales and tastings for visitors to the area.
The hamlets and the countryside
In addition to Meledo, the municipality of Sarego includes other hamlets such as Monticello di Fara, which retain a rural character with small settlements surrounded by countryside. This division into several hamlets reflects the history of an area that grew through the aggregation of distinct farming communities.
