Art & Culture
Between Vicenza and the Berici Hills, the great Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio left some of the greatest examples of his artistic genius: many Venetian villas related to him - Villa Almerico Capra, the so called “La Rotonda”, Villa Valmarana "Ai Nani", Villa Trissino – are scattered on the Berici Hills, while downtown Vicenza, UNESCO world heritage site since 1994, holds other extraordinary works by Palladio: Piazza dei Signori with the incredible Basilica Palladiana, the Olympic Theatre, the Palladio Museum and several buildings inspired to Neoclassical art.
As you leave Vicenza, your trip through art and culture can easily move to Bassano del Grappa, Marostica and other great art cities in the region: Padua, Verona, and obviously Venice.
