Northeast Italy - The Veneto and Emilia Romagna 2011

There is more to the Veneto than Venice, which we visited and loved last year. Vicenza was our destination to appreciate the architectural influence of Andrea Palladio and as a base for a day's visit to Verona.

"If Palladio's uplifting spaces are like architectural prozac, a walking tour of historic Vicenza is a megadose that leaves you simultaneously giddy and grounded...." - LP.

Ferrara in Emilia Romagna was chosen over Assisi, mainly because we feared the crowds would be greater in Assisi, and choices have to be made. A Renaissance city and seat of the Este dynasty, with moated castle and a superb piazza and duomo, Ferrara proved that most choices will be delightfully rewarded.
