Vicenza Italy

Vicenza is a city in northeastern Italy. It is in the Veneto region at the northern base of the Monte Berico, where it straddles the Bacchiglione River. Vicenza is a thriving and cosmopolitan city, with a rich history and culture, and many museums, art galleries, piazzas, villas,churches and elegant Renaissance palazzi. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • Basilica Palladiana is a massive structure on the city's main square. It still has the old and leaning clock tower from a previous building on that site. • Loggia del Capitanio. • Teatro Olimpico. Teatro Olimpico is the oldest enclosed theater in the world, and is most noteworthy for its use of Renaissance perspective in a three-dimensional space. • Chiesa di Santa Corona. • Palazzo Leoni Montanari. A beautifully decorated palace, the building houses a decent collection of Russian icons as well as a collection of capricci and paintings by Pietro Longhi. • Palazzo Valmarana Braga is a monumental palace built by Palladio, and the first in Palladio's career to include columns running along the entire length of the building's facade. • Palazzo Barbaran is the only palace started and completed by Palladio in the city center. • Palazzo Thiene. Sadly, it is the headquarters of a bank, so much of the interior has been changed to accomodate its present purpose.
