Skills 6 Read the text and answer the questions. Vicenza and the Palladian villas in Veneto Situated in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy, Vicenza lies on the low hills between the mountains of Berici and Lessini. The city was founded in the 2 nd or 1 st century BC by the Veneti and was granted Roman citizenship with the status of municipium in 49 BC. Any professional tour guide will arrange a tour around the city centre to show tourists the ancient Roman town plan, which is still recognizable in that of the modern town. In Christian times (4 th century AD) Vicenza became an important diocese but the barbarian invasions in the 5 th century ravaged the city and the population was further exterminated by a series of disastrous plagues. Vicenza had its ups and downs during the Middle Ages, especially after the disintegration of the Carolingian Empire, which paved the way to new invaders. Bloody feudal wars disfigured the region but Vicenza was able to evolve its own administration and in the 13 th century the Della Scala family managed to create a new urban perimeter which enclosed the most important streets within the city. In the 15 th century Venice annexed the entire region and Vicenza remained part of the Venetian Republic until its fall at the end of the 18 th century. It prospered greatly under Venetian rule. However, it was the advent of Andrea Palladio that gave Vicenza its enduring form. This brilliant artist (1508 80) based his detailed study on classical Roman architecture and Vitruvian works and he contributed to give the city its unique appearance. Palladio s urban buildings and his villas had a decisive influence on the development of architecture. His work inspired a distinct architectural style known as  Palladian , which spread to England and other European countries, and also to North America. A total of 26 individual buildings or parts of buildings which have been designed or reconstructed by Palladio or attributed to him, make up the World Heritage site. The  palazzi  or town houses were fitted into the urban texture of the medieval city, creating picturesque ensembles and continuous street facades in which the Veneto Gothic style combines with Palladio s classicism. These urban compositions are unique to Vicenza. 1. Where is Vicenza exactly? 6. When were the city walls built? Who by and why? 2. What do we know about its origins? 7.
