Vicenza is where my brother met my sister-in-law:) it is also
the home of Andrea Palladio, the greatest Italian architect of the Italian Renaissance.
the home of Andrea Palladio, the greatest Italian architect of the Italian Renaissance.
There were beautiful works of architecture, my favorite being The Olympic Theatre!
"The Olympic Theatre: Modeled by Palladio, this is a lone surviving Renaissance theatre; its wooden interior is a half circle of steep tiers of seats facing the rectangular proscenium stage. The ceiling is significantly painted in blue suggesting an open sky above the theater."
The best tour guides (Manuela & Michael Ethridge)
took me for a delicious coffee, then showed me where they got married, the town square, Palladio's work
and lastly, drove me up a windy hill so I could see a view of the whole city...
The whole trip to Italy from the first day to the last will be one I will never forget.
Someone asked me "Was it everything you dreamed it would be?"
My answer was, "It really was and more."
I love you Michael & Manuela.
