A tale on the Palladian Unesco Heritage

A tale on the Palladian Unesco Heritage

The Director of the Business Network created by the owners of the Unesco Palladian villas will take you into a virtuous tale about Vicenza in its Golden Age, offering you an unparalleled perspective from which to start your visit to the city of Palladio. This story tells of a community that was independent in spirit and devoted to commerce by vocation. A compelling story of international political alliances born from the great ferment of the Reformation, of families whose nobility was not only a rank, linked to the silk trade that made the Serenissima a socio-cultural center of such relevance that even Rome feared it. A plot whose texture is represented by the rich Unesco heritage that the genius of Palladio left to the city, becoming a model of timeless modernity. A story that you will hear in the exceptional context of Palazzo Valmarana Braga, one of the architect's most beautiful creations today privately owned, and in its immediate surroundings.

Half day tour of Vicenza from Abano Montegrotto

Half day tour of Vicenza from Abano Montegrotto

The golden age of Vicenza began in 1540, when the Venetian aristocracy decided to reorganize the city and its countryside and called Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, known as Palladio, one of the greatest architects of the time, for the arduous task. Palladio was commissioned to design the new residences owned by the Venetian nobles and so it was that in those years Vicenza began to enrich itself with marvelous private palaces and public buildings while extraordinary villas were designed in the countryside. “The city of Vicenza and the villas of Palladio in the Veneto” have thus been nominated a UNESCO Site for a total of 23 Vicenza palaces and 24 villas in the surrounding area.
