Jewish History
Brief description:
Founded in the 2nd century B.C. in northern Italy, Vicenza prospered under
Venetian rule from the early 15th to the end of the 18th century. The work
of Andrea Palladio (1508-80), based on a detailed study of classical Roman
architecture, gives the city its unique appearance. Palladio's urban
buildings, as well as his villas, scattered throughout the Veneto region,
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.
