The Villa dei Vescovi is a Renaissance rural palace in Luvigliano, within the town of Torreglia in the province of Padua in the Veneto region of Italy. It was built between 1535 and 1542 for the archdiocese of Padua as a summer retreat for the archbishop, commissioned by Bishop Francesco Pisani of the Pisani family through Alvise Cornaro, the administrator of the archbishopric. The architect Giovanni Maria Falconetto designed the original building around a rectangular courtyard with open loggias, the painter Lambert Sustris created the interior frescoes and portico decoration, and later work by Andrea da Valle and Vincenzo Scamozzi added the staircase entrance, roofed the courtyard and integrated the gardens. The villa passed through several private owners after 1910 until the Olcese family donated it in 2005 to the Fondo Ambiente Italiano, which now opens its grounds and frescoed rooms to visitors.
