 the owner explains the historical context of the creation of these Villas, dating back to the 15th century

 ...when the Venetian empire was expanding from the sea to the inland 

 is zio Dome singing? 

 Venetians had a pocket book, a precursor of today's cellphone

 the villas had a downstairs with a passage for commerce, and an upstairs for sleeping rooms, all with magnificent paintings

 there is even a detached dedicated church for the property

 Treviso is nicknamed 'la piccola Venezia'

 due to all the canals system it has

 much needed
