Villa Alessandri Corbelli is a seventeenth-century villa located in Mira, on the left bank of the Navigio Brenta, part of a complex consisting of a dominical house flanked by barchessa and guesthouse combined with "L" and the long building of the stables to close completely. The complex was built at different times, between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, and by different owners. The construction of the dominical body is due to the Corbelli family.
In any case, despite the changes and tampering suffered over the years, the late sixteenth-century imprint of the building remains clear.At the end of the seventeenth century Cesare Alessandr bought the property and began an important transformation of the dominical body, with the construction of the guesthouse and the garden project. For some years the guesthouse was a lively meeting place, where parties and games were organized.
The short side of the barchessa still preserves the original traces and a series of important frescoes by the painter Antonio Pellegrini in three rooms on the main floor, commissioned by Cesare Alessandri in 1704. In the salon there are mythological frescoes, framed between frames in fake stucco, inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. The other rooms are decorated with scenes of love between Antony and Cleopatra, and with Hannibal swearing hatred to the Romans.
