Mastroianni in Casagrande: a timeless, historic sanctuary
Nestled in the heart of Cison di Valmarino, a charming medieval village in the Veneto hills of northern Italy which is officially listed among "I Borghi più belli d'Italia" (Italy's most beautiful villages), the palace overlooks the main square and embodies a timeless sense of elegance and tranquillity.
With its generous spaces, historic atmosphere and enduring beauty, the estate is so evocative and cinematic that it was chosen as the setting for the 1977 film "Moglieamante", starring Marcello Mastroianni and Laura Antonelli.

A noble legacy: the Brandolini story
The Brandolini family's military history began in the 6th century with Brando I and spans over 1,500 years to the present day. In 1436, the renowned condottiero Brandolino IV and his ally Erasmo da Narni, known as "Gattamelata", were granted the fiefdom of Cison by the Republic of Venice in recognition of their heroic service.
For centuries, Casagrande served as the agricultural and administrative heart of this vast estate, which included more than 140 farms, the famous Case Rosse Brandolini. The family crest is reflected in the "Rosso Brandolini".
The restored old carpenter's workshop, the Falegnameria, recalls the feudal past.
