Our E-Bike tour explores the surroundings of Vicenza passing through 11 Villas, 7 of which are Unesco Palladian Heritage. The experience includes a special navigation system and an itinerant vocal narration: the guiding voice will be the spirit of Andrea Palladio, who retraces his history through the evolution of his villas (entrances excluded). The Network of the owners of the Palladian Villas invites you to immerse yourself in an original, active and healthy way in the history and landscapes of the Unesco Heritage that made our architect the most influential in history. In the depths of the Vicenza countryside, sumptuous residences follow one another as far as the eye can see in a widespread eco-museum, admiring the gaze of every traveler at the forms in which the teachings of the Ancients have shaped the country house of the nobleman, which from a medieval castle gradually becomes the villa Palladian, thanks to the genius of a modest, prodigious stonemason.
