IN COLLABORATION WITH ASKOLL ELECTRIC
The fame of Vicenza It is inextricably linked to that of its most famous citizen: Andrea Palladio. We can not speak of one without telling the other and vice versa. Palladio is the only architect to be recognized as influential father of a precise style which precisely is told “palladiano”. Traces of this view of the public and private architecture are found all over the world – just think of the White House in Washington – and in various areas of Veneto, but in Vicenza and its surroundings we find the authentic works of the master.
Between Palladio and cod
Vicenza, however,, is not only the Palladium or rather around its architectural jewels is not much else. From high quality of life to go to the collections of Palazzo Chiericati, the noble charm of Piazza dei Signori to the popular flavor of the typical Cod Vicentina, that arouses much enthusiasm from even having a brotherhood in its protection and a celebration worthy Oktober Fest in the small town of Sandrigo.
The scooter with zero emissions Vicenza
So I decided to tell Vicenza in this slow tourism video riding a zero emission scooter. It is a Askoll ES3 Ages and it is built right at the gates of Vicenza from Italian excellence.
Its origins are in the Vicenza one of the reasons for the choice, as well as the fact that it 100% electric and it's perfect for getting around town. Even Vicenza, like all our urban agglomerations, It has to deal with traffic and pollution. The center is, however, preserved by closing access to only pedestrians and bicycles, a choice that makes it even more enjoyable and attended.
Insider tips for a valuable visit
This rapid discovery of the city I dwelt only on some of the main beauties, but there is much more to see. To better organize their visit to strongly recommend to have a look at the site of Vicenzaè, on which you can find important insights, news, events and thematic itineraries. As for the itinerary I followed, you can find it in this article.
My goal was to see the city center, the view from Monte Berico and then exit to get to the Feast of Codfish.
Readings to enjoy the best Vicenza
Prima, during or after a visit is always nice as well as appropriate to read up. While on well-updated sites such as Vicenzaè you can find the information you need, only books you can tell a story or take less known in other eras. On the figure and architecture of Andrea Palladio are readings of all kinds, and I recommend two books written by Di Lorenzo Antonio and published by Land you can find their own tourism office of Vicenza. The first is entitled “It deserves a monument” and traces the 600 year history of the Palladian Basilica with anecdotes and images, the second is instead “Why do they call… Vicentini magnagati”, an amused study on the etymology of the reputation that now accompanies centuries the inhabitants of the city.
I hope that this video and these few tips have stimulated your curiosity and desire to discover or rediscover the heritage that belongs to us and that it Vicenza. And if a little video you liked, share it with your friends.
