History of the Venezze family
The Estate Castel Venezze takes its name from an ancient castle that was destroyed in the September of 1404, at the hands of Uguccione dè Contrary, in the service of Nicolò d' Este in a fight against the Veneziani.
The family Frassetti or Venezze, already in the territory since 1300, as is recorded in notarial deeds side by side to the name of the protecting Sant Martino resided in the Castle at the times of the Carraresi.
The estate is currently property of the descendants of this nobleman and prestigious family Veneta.
