Overview

A journey through an extraordinary private story together with the Director of the network company of the owners of the Palladio Villas, to discover a Unesco Heritage Site of eternal Beauty, a fundamental link in a chain that reaches from Athens, passing through Rome, here to London and then to Washington.
Anyone belonging the western civilization carries this history, and this places with him, and here is able to re-discover this part of its identity.
To find out, the Palladians - that are the owners of the Villas of the Palladian Unesco Heritage - have created with extreme care this journey through time which from Venice, the Dominant, takes you in one day to the inland of the Serenissima, to that jewel of architecture that is Vicenza .
An itinerary assisted by us and by the spirit of Andrea Palladio, for the entire duration of the tour, starting from Venice, to delve into the heart of a dream from 500 years ago.
Still alive today, even inside the heart of any woman or man in the West. Even if you don't know it yet.
