A tale on the Palladian Unesco Heritage
Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
The Director of the Business Network created by the owners of the Unesco Palladian villas will take you into a virtuous tale about Vicenza in its Golden Age, offering you an unparalleled perspective from which to start your visit to the city of Palladio.
This story tells of a community that was independent in spirit and devoted to commerce by vocation. A compelling story of international political alliances born from the great ferment of the Reformation, of families whose nobility was not only a rank, linked to the silk trade that made the Serenissima a socio-cultural center of such relevance that even Rome feared it. A plot whose texture is represented by the rich Unesco heritage that the genius of Palladio left to the city, becoming a model of timeless modernity.
A story that you will hear in the exceptional context of Palazzo Valmarana Braga, one of the architect's most beautiful creations today privately owned, and in its immediate surroundings.

5.00This was a fantastic way to get an overview, background, and context for everything I was seeing in delightful Vicenza! My guide was flexible, extremely knowledgeable and articulate, and I especially appreciated how he explained the unique position of the city as well as its role in subsequent western (and U.S.!) architecture. WOW what a gem.
Excellent

5.00This was a 1-hour walking tour of Vicenza. Manuel was an excellent guide: friendly, knowledgeable, fluent and adaptable to our interests and questions. Particularly good and interesting on history. An extremely good way to start our visit to Vicenza; after that everything made more sense.

5.00We had an excellent time visiting four villas with Manuel. We learned a lot, saw a lot, met two gracious owners, and enjoyed a wonderful midday wine tasting and light lunch. Highly recommended.
