Tourism promotion projects

Villa Giglioli, Improvement Project – Non profit Association
This project is the first step towards the total refurbishment of a villa of the 18th century located on the right embankment of the Po River. The old kitchens of the villa have been turned into a small restaurant and an old warehouse has to be transformed in an artisan’s workshop for the creation of the typical Este engraved ceramics. The courtyard has also been restored through the creation of a pond for fishing and a small tower for birdwatching. These intervention have turned a building of prestige that had been abandoned for years into a tourist offer of restaurant, craftsman’s activities and sports – fishing and cycling. The restoration of the villa, which should be turned into a Bed & Breakfast, will need more time and the involvement of the Board for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage.
