Vicenza

Our time is running short on our trip. This is the city of Palladio the great architect. This is a great place. 

Below is Villa Rotonda which is like the Holy Grail of architecture. It's just outside the city. 

These are the grounds. 

His signature is those statues on the roof. 

A church nearby.

Vicenza city hall. 

Beautiful city. Too much to see. 

The Teatro Olympic which he designed. The first indoor theater ever built!  Below is the most perfect example of tromp l'oeil in the stage background
