Palladian villas in Vicenza : refined civilisation of the 16th century.
The Vicenza Venetian villas that are spread around the area make the Province a constellation of works of art which celebrate the history of architecture from the 16th to the 19th century.
Palladio was without doubt one of the greatest Italian architects in the 16th century. From 1540 to the day of his death he designed some really impressive buildings that changed the features of Vicenza and its Province. The Palladian villas in Vicenza are some of the most famous in the world and the symbol of the refined civilisation of the time, an immortal witness to the genius of Palladio’s work.
In December 1994, Vicenza, Palladio’s City, entered the UNESCO World Heritage List as the Palladian villas in Vicenza are considered of exceptional universal interest and value, and have had a great effect on world culture.
Among the Vicenza Venetian villas, the most famous and unmistakeable for its style is definitely Villa Almerico Capra or La Rotonda, which Palladio designed at the height of his maturity.
