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!

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, known as La Malcontenta , is undoubtedly one of Palladio’s most captivating creations. A majestic residence—ancient yet strikingly modern—built for the venerable Venetian Foscari family, it still carries the spirit of their illustrious ancestor Francesco Foscari, one of the most influential doges of the Republic. Francesco Foscari’s dogeship , more than a century before the villa was erected, was the longest in the history of the Serenissima and marked the beg

Vicenza is Palladio for everyone, and we could not agree more.But Palladio is not an end: he is an opening gesture, a threshold.His architecture gives the impression of something complete, and yet its true nature is generative. It invites continuations, variations, reinterpretations —some born in Vicenza, some across Veneto’s gentle inland, and others far from here, in the wider world. His presence survives not only in the architects who studied him, but in the painters and

Choosing an itinerary on https://www.ebike.palladianroutes.com/e-bike-experience-1day is not “booking a tour”:it is choosing how  you want to experience the Palladian Veneto. Not a checklist of stops.Not a rush between villas, museums and quiet rural roads. It is a way of being inside the landsc

Some villas reveal themselves immediately, like actresses stepping into the light. And then there are villas that unveil themselves slowly — with the quiet confidence of places that do not need to prove anything, because their beauty has long since found its form. Villa Sandi , in Crocetta del Montello, belongs to this latter kind. Built in 1622 , it carries the clarity of the Venetian mainland tradition shaped by Andrea Palladio, yet softens it with the gentler temperament o
