Villa Foscari is better known as La Malcontenta, supposedly named after an unhappy - and allegedly unfaithful - wife who was locked up there by her suspicious husband.

I am having a lovely time wandering around these Palladian villas on the plains north of Venice. Could have quite the party in these rooms *sigh*
If it's any consolation, the weather sucks in that part of the world ;o)
Have you visited any of these places? They are just south of the Dolomitian alps, which is where you go skiing, isn't it?
No we haven't. But they look worth a visit. Not in the winter, however. As I said... the weather is the pits. Cold, humid, fog... Hot, humid, fog *repeat*
