Valsanzibio, Veneto,Italy. Villa Barbarigo : Diana’s Pavilion or ‘Diana’s Doorway’ was the main entrance accessible via water to the Barbarigo estate in the 17th and 18th centuries, and was one of the first works of Bernini’s project to have started around 1662. This magnificent and impressive entranceway is one of the most important features of the overall monumental complex. It does not only act as the entrance to the Barbarigo Pizzoni Ardemani estate, underlining the might of the place as you enter, but it also represents the beginning of the allegorical path of salvation, as intended originally by Saint Gregorio Barbarigo.
