Just outside the city of Vicenza, between the stones and the dust of the yard of the Villa Trissino, his patron Giangiorgio coins the most famous name
of modern architecture: Palladio. In the center of Caldogno, stands out the roof of Villa Caldogno, which reveals the elegant harmony of its Palladian forms. After the visit, the traditional dishes are cooked and the lunch is served in a typical restaurant. In the afternoon, the discovery of Villa Valmarana Bressan: the elegant frescoed hall is immerse in a magic atmosphere. Riding along the countryside path, the travellers contemplate the façade of Villa Da Porto Pedrotti, only to be surprised by a few pedal-stones further on, at the sight of the majestic eighteenth-century staircase of Villa Da Porto Casarotto. In the Bertesina area, it welcomes the Palladian Villa Gazzotti Grimani and the elegant Villa Ghilanzoni Curti where a glass of wine from the farm and typical products are the perfect restore before coming back to Vicenza.
