An age-old tradition in goldsmithery
makes Vicenza the world point reference for the area.Vicenza is also an attractive
town, bound indissolubly to the aesthetic genius created by Andrea Palladio, the
Architect par excellence, who left his town of adoption in the 16th century, a precious
inheritance. Villas an palaces of such extraordinary beauty to make Vicenza deserve
the title attribute by UNESCO, that of World Heritage.
Amongst these jewels,
the Palladian Basilica, a sort of 16th century "space-ship" that
landed in the heart of the town, the Olimpic Theatre, the sole theatre of
that period in wood still existing in the world, and the Rotonda Villa of
symbolic beauty and purely formal deserves particular mention.
Symbols of a timeless
elegance, almost hidden, that Vicenza offers jealously only to those who know how
to discover them... |
