Vicenza

The city stretches along the Bacchiglione River at the northern base of Monte Berico, featuring numerous palaces designed by architect Andrea Palladio during the 16th century.

Originally established as Vicetia during Roman times, the settlement became a crucial trading point between Venice and Milan, experiencing significant development under Venetian rule.

The Teatro Olimpico stands as the world's first indoor theater constructed in masonry, containing the oldest surviving stage set created by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1585.

Located 60 kilometers west of Venice, Vicenza connects to major Italian cities through regular train services from its railway station situated southwest of the historic center.

The city processes one-fifth of Italy's gold production, earning recognition as a major center for jewelry crafting and precious metal manufacturing in Europe.
