We are above an ancient sea , when here - tens of millions of years ago - we were in the tropics of the planet. In the meantime the earth's axis has shifted, many different layers have overlapped and pressed together, until they became rock... But even today we can find the algae and corals of that coral reef that separated the open sea from a large internal plain. A reef rich in marine life that survives in the stone used by Palladio for the bases and capitals of the columns

One of the most popular ways to immerse yourself in our territory, crossing suggestive paths and less traveled streets, is the bicycle. And we at Palladian Routes know it well! So one evening, at sunset, with a warm sun warming our faces, checking one of our itineraries, we find ourselves pedaling on our Palladian E-Bikes , along the Venetian countryside, towards the Lower Vicenza area. Accompanying us are the gentle profile of the Berici Hills on the right and the conical

The historic Grape Festival is underway in Villa Angarano, like every early autumn, at that moment of the year awaited by everyone in Bassano and the surrounding area. We celebrate wine, which for centuries, let's say to each other without quibbling – always! Bring joy and luck together to this land where everyone together, at this moment, is celebrating the grace of divine nectar. Palladio already wrote, almost five hundred years ago, of a "place famous for the precious wine

Villa Foscari, " La Malcontenta" is certainly one of Palladio's most fascinating works. A majestic house, anciently modern, of an ancient Venetian house, that of the Foscari precisely, which carries with it the spirit of Nicolò's ancestor, or one of the most important doges of the Republic. Francesco Foscari's dogship , over a century before the construction of the villa, was the longest in the history of the Serenissima , undoubtedly marking the beginning of a new era for V

Vicenza is Palladio for everyone, and we couldn't agree more. But Palladio is also a beginning of something that goes on , here in our city and in the surrounding lands, as well as in the rest of the world. Palladio lives on in those who have followed him as architects and more broadly as artists because we can see Palladio's influence in painting and sculpture as well. At Villa Loschi Zileri, just a stone's throw from Vicenza, a memory of Palladio, which may feel distant to

Villa Sandi is located in Valdobbiadene. Its imposing columns stand out over the vineyards surrounding the estate, supporting the solemn pronaos. The Palladian-style villa dates back to 1622 and is elegantly adorned with sculptures by Orazio Marinali, which also decorate the driveway. Villa Sandi hides a maze of ancient underground tunnels, which during the First World War became hiding places and passages, where today countless bottles of fine Montello wine rest to be tasted
