The Villa Foscarini Rossi Shoe Museum is located along the banks of the Brenta River, inside a 17th-century historic mansion. In over 700 m² of exhibition space, more than 1,350 luxury women's shoe models are displayed, produced by the Rossimoda shoe factory in collaboration with the most prestigious international fashion houses. Inaugurated in 1993, the Museum's mission is to showcase the local expertise, spread knowledge about the shoemaking tradition of the Brenta Riviera, and document the evolution of costume and fashion in the second half of the 20th century through the "Shoe" accessory. Passing tourists, enchanted by the harmony, creativity, and craftsmanship that distinguish Made in Italy products, will also find these values in the historic architectural structures and the perspective plays of the marvelous 17th-century frescoes in the Guesthouse, created by Domenico de' Bruni and Pietro Liberi. The Museum also houses a small but precious collection of ancient and ethnic footwear.
