Four days between Marca Trevigiana and Vicenza, among the charming walled town and the rich noble residences. The trip will start in Castelfranco Veneto, a town with its untouched walls and Giorgione’s birthplace, then the great architecture by Palladio, the favourite of the most noble families of the Sixteenth century, who transformed the town of Vicenza and designed more than twenty villas in Veneto.

We will stop especially at Villa Barbaro, Maser, where architecture, painting and sculpture create a beautiful dialogue, then at Villa Emo where a perfect balance is achieved between structure and elegance and at the perfect Villa Capra, the so-called La Rotonda. We will deal with the Eighteenth century

with the frescoes of Villa Valmarana ai Nani, Tiepolo, father and son, the Bassano Bridge with its rich collections and the fascinating village of Asolo.
