Vicenza, Palladio\u2019s home town, with its 114,000 inhabitants lies in the heart of the Veneto. Vicenza is inextricably linked to Andrea Palladio and visiting Vicenza means a tour through the history of architecture, from Romanesque to Gothic to Renaissance to Neoclassical. In 1994 Vicenza was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 26 Palladian structures in the city and a further 16 Palladian villas in the surrounding area. Aside from the Palladian jewels, there are also dozen artistic masterpieces in the churches and buildings dotted through the city, which over the centuries has collected significant works by great artists such as Tiepolo, Veronese, Canova and Maganza.<\/i> <\/p>\n
