Otium con brio: an initial tasting of the Palladian Villas

FOR AN INITIAL TASTING OF THE PALLADIAN VILLAS: ALLOW YOUR SENSES TO DELAY AND CELEBRATE THE RENAISSANCE FRESCOES WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL RUN TO VILLA CALDOGNO, VILLA CAPRA "LA ROTONDA" AND MORE


Duration: 7 hours

 

Every place in the city has seen the works come to life of genius. In the streets of the center, the stones recall the steps of a young stonemason who came from Padua to build the new face of Vicenza and its successful campaign. Genius and luck. Intuition and resources. A meeting. Just outside the city, among the stones and dust of the courtyard of the Villa, Giangiorgio Trissino coins the most famous name of modern architecture: Palladio, like an angel with golden wings, comes to shape the forms of the countryside and the new culture.


We are ready to immerse ourselves in this emotional experience on comfortable Ebike, starting from the Palladian Villas in the countryside, first destination: Villa Caldogno. A triptych of ashlar arches opens the doors to the inside, full of seventeenth-century frescoes to be admired. A dip in
nature in the Oasis of the Bacchiglione springs, rich in flora, fauna and lots of it
tranquility, before getting back on the saddle and reaching Villa Valmarana Bressan, where, entranced by the magical light of its serliana, we will delight in a tasty packed lunch in the gardens of the villa.

 

Thanks to the E-bike experience, along the way we could admire majestic villas, from the most famous to the lesser known, being able to appreciate their shapes, decorations and their wide architectural value. Among so much beauty, a stop is a must in the Palladio villa par excellence, Villa la Rotonda, we are amazed by the elegance and refinement of the masterpiece commissioned by Almerico Capra, of which it has become his dear meditation refuge.

 

Space now for a moment of pleasure for the taste buds, with a refreshing aperitif at Villa Ghislanzoni Curti or Palazzo Valmarana Braga depending on availability, as a worthy conclusion to an unforgettable experience.
