Guide #1862

You are on the point of visiting with me a traditional veneto city, a palladian villa and a medieval castle in Padua, Verona or Vicenza. These are still characteristic landmarks of the Veneto history, culture and traditions. Vicenza, Verona and Padua are in fact lively places with local people going to work, shopping in the outdoor markets or just hanging out for a coffee or spritz. Here I can accompany you to live the local life, enjoy a visit of their unique landmarks on a short walk or have a typical eating experience. Vicenza, the city where I live, is known as the palladian city with 18 palladian buildings. The Teatro Olimpico is an example of this. It is the oldest classical theater in the world, built in 1585 inside a medieval castle. You can see its endless perspectives, you can sit down on its original wooden auditorium or still hear the same acoustics as in the first performance held on the 3rd of March 1585. In Padua you can still walk around the same medieval city that existed when the University was founded in 1222, when the Basilica of Saint Anthony was erected in 1231 and when the Scrovegni chapel was built in 1305. In the Scrovegni chapel, for instance, you can still see the original frescoes painted in 1305 by Giotto, who humanized the divine. The Renaissance begins with these frescoes and in them, you can see Giotto's self-representation and his use of perspective something completely new for the medieval ages. Verona, yes, the city of Romeo and Juliet, but above all, the most roman city in the Veneto. Here you can see the unique roman arena, the roman bridge, the roman theatre, medieval castles and tombs and discover the medieval city where the most famous two lovers lived time ago.
