Located in Mira Taglio along the Riviera del Brenta, the Palazzo Bonlini complex (also known as Villa Bonlini) is a historic Venetian residence built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Recognizable in the famous 18th-century prints by Coronelli and Costa, the original property included the dominical body, a monumental barchessa, a casino, and an oratory, the latter now disappeared, all immersed in a grandiose park. In addition to its architectural value, the site holds great importance for industrial archaeology: its barchessa actually became the first seat in Mira for the activities of the renowned Distilleria Drioli, a historic Dalmatian company known worldwide for the production of Maraschino. Today the palace, partially modified over the centuries, is owned by the Opera Pia Casa Paterna.

The medieval fortress of Stigliano was first mentioned in 1152 as a feudal property of the Bishop of Treviso. However, its origins may date back to Roman times due to its location in the "graticolato" area. In 1158, it was entrusted to the Tempesta family of Noale and then to the Teutonic Knight Aldobrandino da Superno. Built in a strategic position, alongside the Muson dei Sassi stream, it marked the border between the territories of Padua and Treviso. Therefore, it was the scene of numerous brutal battles until the end of the fourteenth century. It was here, however, that the disputes between the Carraresi and the Serenissima Republic of Venice began. It was the Venetians who finally conquered it in 1520, when it was sold to the Priuli family, who transformed it into a typical Venetian villa of the time. The entire complex then became the property of the Venier family, who further renovated it. Today, only the northeast corner tower remains of the original castle.
