Vicenza, an Ancient Dream in the Palladian Lands

Vicenza is an ancient dream, one in which we can still today dive, let ourselves go, forget for a moment — for a day, a week — that everything must be done for something, that there must be some small daily and concrete purpose.

To forget a life lived in survival mode and to savour, inhale, aspire to something great, magnificent, ideal.

Vicenza is real, but there is also a Vicenza that exists beyond.

One that exists in the wings of the Teatro Olimpico, one that existed in the minds of Giangiorgio Trissino and Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, before he ever took the stage name by which he is known.

One that exists in the minds of our patricians, suddenly forgetting small provincial quarrels, guided along a path that leads to the sky, from where today — under the features of eternal white sculptures — they still watch us today to remind us, we who walk the streets of their city, that this may also be our theatre, the stage of the performance of which we become the protagonists, if we accept to stop.

To forget. To be reborn.

Magnificent.
