Villa Costanza, formerly Villa Saibante-Monga, dating back to the first half of the XVII century, is a Venetian residence located in the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano, Valpolicella, in the province of Verona.

Built by Andrea Saibante, it was originally owned by a family of timber merchants who eventually sold it to the Republic of Venice – to be used for the construction of its famous sailing ships.

Andrea Monga, who bought the villa in 1818 from the last member of the Saibante family, spent a lot of time turning this residence into a museum-like image of the original historic building.
There are still many archaeological finds purchased by the new owner in the historic park.

The shape of the villa, when it was a property of Andrea Monga, was similar to the current one, especially regarding the external wings for their entire first floor. The construction of the small temple located in the historic wood dates back to that period as well.
