Description
Description
There remains a warm memento in the current exhibition centre, in witness of the historical seat of the Fair in the Giardini Salvi from 1948 to 1971: the small artificial river, evoking the river Seriola of the Giardini Salvi, and running along the central axis of the F and G pavilions. A tribute to a collective past deeply rooted in the Fair’s local area and history. The new complex, designed in the early Seventies on a project by famed Milanese architect and designer Marco Zanuso and by architect D’Avanzo, lies at the centre of the industrial area west of Vicenza, 500 m away from the motorway toll gate. A modern structure spreading over 70,500 m2, with 13 pavilions. The distinctive element of the whole facility is the pyramid design of the central pavilion. In tune with the local gold vocation, Vicenza’s economic driver, over 50,000 m2 are occupied by the area in via dell’Oreficeria, hosting the sector’s events. The 6,000 m2 of the Leonardo Pavilion have also recently hosted Oromacchine, the exhibition of machinery, technologies and equipment for gold jewellery.

A city of art boasting masterpieces of unmistakable beauty, showcasing the genius of Palladio, Vicenza has fossilized the Roman centre in its urban layout inside the medieval city, crowning it with Renaissance traits. Symbol of renewal in continuity, Vicenza is a flourishing economic centre of worldwide renown.
Piazza dei Signori The centre of Vicenza, split up into three piazza (dei Signori, delle Biade, delle Erbe) and Piazza del Palladio, all revolving around the imposing Basilica, a blend of different cultural moments, renovated by Palladio starting from 1546. Opposite the Basilica, the monumental Loggia del Capitanato is yet another masterpiece by Palladio, only partly built.
Corso Palladio Main axis in the city layout, home to many important buildings, such as Palazzo Da Schio.
Teatro Olimpico Palladio’s last extraordinary feat, started in 1580, enclosed by the walls of Palazzo del Territorio, embellished with remarkable decorations.

An itinerary on foot along the city hills leads you to three “holy” monuments: the Basilica of Monte Berico, from the homonymous square; the Bertolo-Valmarana Villa, taking viale X Giugno, then viale d’Azeglio; following the path, behold, the Rotonda, a Palladio masterpiece and the quintessence of Renaissance-style villas.
