Things to do in Vicenza, Veneto: The Best Nature & Parks
Vicenza’s history dates back to pre-Roman times, but it’s a Renaissance figure, Andrea Palladio, with whom the city is most associated. One of the preeminent figures in Western architecture, Palladio built more than twenty buildings here, including the Basilica Palladiana, the Palazzo Chiericati (home to Vicenza’s museum and art gallery), the Teatro Olimpico (his last and some say greatest work) and many other palaces and villas, leading UNESCO to designate the city as a World Heritage Site.

Villa Fracanzan Piovene is a magnificent 18th century villa with a large italian garden. The villas pristine rooms share the vibrant lifestyle of the past centuries. The kitchen is host to a renowned collection of copper pots and utencils but it is most famous for the 16th century sink designed in red Verona marble. Designed by the Veronese architect, Farinati, legend has it that the sink narrowly missed being part of the Louvre for Napoleon. In the prestigious barn of the Barchessa visitors can see the rare collection of early agricultural engines and tractors. A stroll in the “giardino all’italiana” is not to be missed with its long avenues and lush park surrounding the villa.
