Villa Manin (Friulian: Villa Manin) is a Venetian villa located in the comune of Passariano in Codroipo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in northeastern Italy. It was the private, country residence of the Manin family, including the last Doge of Venice, Lodovico Manin. Napoleon Bonaparte and Joséphine de Beauharnais lived there for a significant period in 1797. Since then, it has hosted numerous popular music concerts by major international acts and was the site of three episodes of Jeux sans frontières. It was used as a contemporary art centre and museum for several years and hosted major international exhibitions, and it now houses currently the Roberto Capucci Foundation’s collection.
