Villa Angarano Bianchi Michiel is one of the Palladian wonders of the Vicenza area, located north of Bassano del Grappa in the Contrà San Eusebio, at the mouth of the Valsugana. The project presented by the architect Andrea Palladio around 1548 for the residence of his great friend Giacomo Angarano, was only partially realized, in fact, only the two lateral wings belong to the famous architect, who considered creating two U-shaped barchesse , which pressed the central body particularly protruding.

Among the many Vicenza nobles, Palladio maintains a certain esteem towards Giacomo Angarano, who realizes three projects for him, a palace in Vicenza, which will host the wedding of Palladio's daughter, in 1564, a bridge over the Cismon stream and the villa from Angarano. In particular, the architect reports in his books how much the villa enjoyed the proximity of the Brenta river, both for the primary good of the water, both for the number of fish and especially for the possibility that the river was navigable. The project stopped when Stefano Angarano's son Stefano died in 1558, who was forced to sell the villa in Angarano in order to return the dowry to his son's widow. The consequence for the villa was immediate, the work stopped and the building passed into the hands of several owners, up to Paolo Gradenigo, who in 1654 married Maria Molin.

The Gardenigo family, important exponents and senators of the Republic of Venice, were the architects of the variations of the complex, which we can still see today. The central body was built between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries by the architect Domenico Margutti, a pupil of Baldassare Longhena.

On the barchessa on the right side we find a small noble church of San Maria Maddalena, a work attributed to Margutti, instead the eighteen statues that crown the structure are by Giacomo Cassetti, called il Marinali, and represent sacred subjects. Subsequently, the villa passed into the hands of the Pisans, in the early nineteenth century once again into the hands of the Venetian Michiel family, and later to the Bianchi Michiel counts. Even today the Villa Angarano is owned by the Bianchi Michiel family, who live in harmony within these walls, passing on the importance of a prestigious past from generation to generation.
