Villa dei Cedri in Valdobbiadene houses the Association for the Heritage

Erected in the early 19th century, Villa dei Cedri, formerly Villa Piva, stands in Valdobbiadene, Treviso. Today, it serves as a venue for cultural events, congresses, and temporary exhibitions, and has been the seat since 2019 of the Association for the Heritage of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, established to safeguard and enhance the UNESCO heritage.

The villa's estate includes the main structure, preserving the neoclassical style of the early 20th-century renovation, a neighboring barn, a former factory repurposed into service buildings like cellars and stables, and a large park open to the public with a romantic-eclectic matrix.

Originally, the estate was built around the water source of the Cordana stream, where the Martignago village once stood. It was a silk and twisting factory and a residence for the Bottoia family, transforming a former grain mill that existed in the settlement since the 18th century.
