The territory of Vicenza

is rich in tradition as well as in innovation. Visitors can taste the flavor of the past, the origin of Vicenza dates back to more than 2000 years ago, but they can also admire modern buildings. Veneto is one of the richest regions in Italy. It has lots of industries and  commercial centers. Shopping is real fun: jewels, fashion, leather ware, ceramic objects,  art, typical food are only a small part of the offers of our beautiful, generous land.

 

 

 

 

What poets say about Vicenza and the berici Hills...
 
"Amici, io vivo in una terra incantata.
Un increspamento della pianura, i Colli Berici,
di cui villeggio alle falde: sollevato dal vento,
fermato lì per miracolo, con quella voluta leggera,
con quel profilo che pare fugace e fermo,
come il contorno di un velo, fissato mentre l'aria si gonfia"
(Guido Piovene)
 
My friends, I live in an enchanted place.
a wave in the lowland, the Berici Hills
where I dwell; raised by the wind,
the ripple seems to be held still
as if by a miracle: a light volute
a volatile skyline yet resolute
like a veil, caught in the air by the blow of a breeze. 
	

" I sito è degli ameni e dilettevoli

perchè è sopra un monticello di ascesa facilissima,

è da una parte bagnato dal Bacchiglione, fiume navigabile,

e dall'altra circondata da amenissimi colli

che rendono l'aspetto di un molto grande teatro".

(Andrea Palladio)

 

The location is most pleasant and agreeable.

It stands on a small hill of easy ascent,

With the navigable river Bacchiglione on one side;

on the other side surrounded by delightful hills,

so its outllook is that of a large theatre.
