In Vicenza, the architectural tradition expressed by Palladio, Scamozzi, and, in a modern key, Scarpa, is based on a constant dialogue between the built and the landscape. The villas and palaces are not isolated elements but parts of an integrated system that has enhanced nature, history, and function, making the Vicenza landscape and townscape an international reference model for the harmony between architecture and the environment.

Andrea Palladio, Vincenzo Scamozzi, and Carlo Scarpa represent three fundamental moments in the relationship between architecture and landscape, each interpreter of a tradition that has been able to dialogue with the natural and urban context, leaving a lasting and recognizable mark.

Participants,
•    will live in Vicenza and travel to Altivole (Treviso), Bassano del Grappa, and Possagno;
