This is the ninth edition of the Villeggendo festival, an annual event that hosts the major protagonists of the Italian publishing scene in Veneto’s art venues. The Abano Ritz is proud of this now well-established partnership and loves being able to offer these illustrious names from the world of literature a wellness experience to better savour our region.
The history of Villeggendo
Villeggendo was born nine years ago from the idea of promoting culture in a unique and exciting way. The main objective is to create a series of travelling events that can engage and fascinate literature lovers, creating a dialogue between culture and authors by offering an inclusive and engaging experience for all in the magical atmosphere of the residences that are a fundamental part of the history of the Serenissima.
A successful partnership with the Abano Ritz
For several years, the Villeggendo festival has had a partnership with the Abano Ritz, one of the historic structures in the Euganean basin. This collaboration arose first and foremost from the sharing of common values and objectives. The Abano Ritz, in fact, has always shown particular sensitivity to culture and art, with the added value of offering guests an extraordinary experience that combines art, relaxation and wellness.
