The Valverde is a rural courtyard consisting of a group of buildings organized in a courtyard system and closely linked to agricultural production. The oldest part dates back to the early 16th century when the interests of the great Venetian merchant families began to shift towards the mainland, with the development of a new and important agrarian economy. The manor house, which is the oldest part of the courtyard and is still inhabited by the owners, retains its original beauty with large stone chimneys, painted coffered ceilings, and friezes from the school of J. Ligozzi.
The entire complex, including the homes of the lavorenti and the spaces for production activities, such as the tinazzara, the historic cellar, and the chapel, underwent an important restoration that began in the early 1960s and is still ongoing.
The courtyard, once occupied by a sunny brick yard, is now a garden rich in plants and fragrances.
