Palladio looks attentively at the elegant game of light and shape of the "Basilica Palladiana". Thanks to the works of art by the great architect " Andrea Palladio", Vicenza has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. On the hills around Vicenza we can see " Villa Almerico Capra di Valmarana" named "La Rotonda". It is the most famous and the most imitated work by Palladio. With its four identical sides, the villa slowly disloses its artistic originality to the surprised eye of the onlooker.
