Discover Vascon

Vascon offers several points of interest to help you plan your trip: the history of the Chiesa di Santa Lucia Vergine e Martire, the architecture of Villa Loredan Valier Perocco di Meduna, and the social farming of the Colonia Agricola. If you are looking for a hotel in Vascon, these themes can help you define the purpose of your trip. Church art, a historic architectural and landscape complex, and social farming each offer a distinct focus.

Church History and Art in Vascon

Vascon was first mentioned in a document in 1005; at that time, a small church already stood there. The Chiesa di Santa Lucia Vergine e Martire existed by 1152 at the latest. Part of the old apse has been preserved in the old bell tower. In 1330, the church was dedicated to Saint Lucy. In 2000, frescoes and coats of arms were discovered in and on the church. G. Battista Tiepolo created the large fresco “La gloria di S. Lucia” in 1722.

The dates refer to different aspects: Vascon’s early history, the dedication of the Chiesa, and a dated work of art. The discovery of frescoes and coats of arms also belongs to a specific point in time. These concrete dates help place the church’s history in context without conflating the early mention of the small church with all the later developments. For travelers interested in art and history, the preserved apse, the dedication, and Tiepolo’s fresco are distinct points of interest.

Villa Loredan and Its History

Villa Loredan Valier Perocco di Meduna is a significant architectural and landscape complex dating from the 17th century. Architecture and landscape are equally integral to its character. The history of the Colonia Agricola is also connected with the villa: the Colonia and the associated villa were dedicated to charitable purposes. In 1927, the Province of Treviso took over their administration for the same purpose.

Alongside its architectural and landscape aspects, the complex also has a social and institutional history. Its charitable dedication and the administrative change in 1927 provide another historical point of reference. The villa can therefore be understood differently from the Chiesa di Santa Lucia: here, the focus is on a 17th-century ensemble and its history of charitable use.

Colonia Agricola: Farming and Products

Since 1989, the Colonia Agricola has practiced social organic farming on 4.5 hectares of land. Its La fattoria is home to goats, ponies, poultry, geese, ducks, Padovana chickens, a rabbit, and cats; the animals on the farm may change. The Bottega giardino sells organic fruit and vegetables, including produce grown on site, as well as sweet and savory baked goods made at the Colonia. Its offerings also include fresh, artisan-made organic bread, the Colonia’s own sauces, pasta sauces, and pickled products, along with selected organic products from artisan businesses. The range may change.

The Colonia Agricola uses its agricultural production and related activities to provide educational and cultural offerings for the local community. This area of interest thus brings together farming, a social focus, and local offerings. The Bottega giardino adds the sales side of the operation; its product categories differ from the educational and cultural offerings.

Different Points of Interest for Your Trip

The historical references range from Vascon’s mention in 1005 to Tiepolo’s 1722 fresco; the villa adds its own 17th-century architectural and landscape focus. The Colonia Agricola, in turn, represents social farming since 1989, animal husbandry, and products from the farm. If you are particularly interested in art and historic architecture on your trip, the church and villa offer different perspectives. If you are interested in social farming, animal husbandry, and local products, the Colonia Agricola offers a distinct focus.
