Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua
We had already visited St Anthony's Basilica in 2019, and this time we also paid a brief visit.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...13e4508c98.jpg There are several cloisters and a museum about St Anthony (had lunch break). Of course there was also a statue. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...629f377e77.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...77536ada9a.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fc24aa0a89.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...474a9b9ca6.jpg The interior of the church. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b68c8b2405.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5ce2a90a0.jpg The tomb chapel of Antonius. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a0202bc081.jpg |
Piazza Duomo Padua
The Piazza Duomo in Padua - somehow I forgot to take a photo of the façade of the cathedral (sorry, it gets worse.....)
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...acdfe136e1.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8e738add3b.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ece82a48b8.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84b94241e7.jpg |
Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta
Padua Cathedral is not the most spectacular in Italy.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3f30ab4791.jpg It was a bit unfavourable that I had accidentally switched off the automatic mode of my lens. So you can bend the photos.... https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ed5182dc92.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...18c3fd9a03.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ee0a354b41.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bcae62bb9a.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4f129e4b14.jpg |
Museo Diocesano Padova
Next to the cathedral is the Diozaesan Museum in the Bishop's Palace. First we go to the Hall of San Gregorio Barbarigo.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b6923182b5.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5a296fd81d.jpg At the staircase https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f3df485d00.jpg Highlight of the Bishop's Palace ist der Salone dei Vescovi. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...12f914167b.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7978f9fec4.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...400f25992b.jpg Chapel https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...577ba77eed.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...21c860b684.jpg Otherwise, there are mainly paintings on display. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2f0e7d6d7e.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5008b4dc63.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7e0a23b0c2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...80887ac8f9.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e8a83a777.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...81e7a170ad.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...620b308add.jpg |
Baptistery Padua
In addition to the magnificent Cappella degli Scrovegni by Giotto (visited in 2019), Padua is also home to the cathedral's baptistery. It is only accessible with a guided tour. I was the only participant, which I found amazing. After a short introductory film, we went into the magnificent baptistery, which was once the burial place of the Carraresi.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eb0dd55b58.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f79544957d.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e6327e755f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7db2c033be.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...da643ec936.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...405d85bcaf.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3aa3feb234.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5e45eb1b5d.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ded302a68f.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...604caf0309.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5e4d9241fb.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c891ac816f.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a2d437c762.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...91d26efa64.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...169cd24e2b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1cd3def0d4.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...08dbbfedd7.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4dbd462c8c.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...079f755b7f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cfc7ce8551.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8cd38b5bb8.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d8d774b134.jpg I can't hide my enthusiasm for this magnificent building painted by Giusto de' Menabuoi. Here is a video: |
Esplanade Tergesto Montegrotto Terme
Time for the second dinner. Once again, it was of good quality and there was always some variation in the buffet offerings.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4198e831b2.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...de907d4b72.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9dd7b468fd.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1fb9c35122.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...050fb5a748.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f835e5a806.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0ca90857b0.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...56bfa91cdd.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...46651f886e.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8ea7090dee.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cbb035722b.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2c8eeaa410.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...583744849b.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7e8deb5fe4.jpg |
Esplanade Tergesto Montegrotto Terme
I hadn't even written about breakfast yet. The selection was generous, the quality varied. While there were some good pastries, the prepared eggs were not particularly appealing. Juices were cheap ready-made products.
You could also order from a menu, sometimes for an extra charge. It was not entirely clear why it cost what. Whilst I understand a surcharge for caviar, it stops at Frensh Toast. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea62a7a3ae.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...00539de4ba.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0389acac8f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f8f95d072.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5ca908607a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...39e4bbeb6e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...00db972192.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6f8c51cdc9.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c0af488039.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...20072576e7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a6c265f8d4.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bcd90a5eb3.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...528c08e1c2.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1ea070b39e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ff4b2146f8.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f256bc8b07.jpg The breakfast was nothing famous, especially the quality did not appeal to us. Nothing else was interesting either. At first I thought it was a joke when I was told that we could have breakfast in our bathrobes. In fact, some guests did make use of it. Everyone can probably guess what I think of this.... |

Castello Estense Ferrara
The next day was all about Ferrara. The Castello Estense or Castello di San Michele was the seat of the d'Este family in Ferrara.

Palazzo dei Diamanti Ferrara
Warning: Anyone expecting diamonds should stop reading. The next art museum is waiting for everyone else.
The Palazzo dei Diamanti got its name because the stones on the façade are reminiscent of diamonds. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...09b9c749e9.jpg At the entrance, you can choose between a lift and a staircase. Even with the combined ticket for the Ferrara museums, you have to buy your tickets downstairs, so you have to walk some paths twice. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8ab1a2fadb.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...adbcf036e1.jpg The Pinacoteca Nazionale di Ferrara offers works by artists from Ferrara and the collection is relatively extensive. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...39b2d39795.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...523115a3ec.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0d1e94d501.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bc6a18ee63.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1c9838b252.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4cebc8cdb2.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...94bf7d1087.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ed323fed01.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...14ee476608.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cdf93cd24c.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a0fc155418.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f9fb8cce92.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f3e6a28c9b.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...897e43b852.jpg |
L´Era Glaciale Ferrara
As we had some time to kill, we got ourselves an ice cream.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...19918fbedb.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1f18ea8b76.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f54562519a.jpg Whilst it actually looked quite good, unfortunately it wasn't. Totally oversweetened, simply not delicious. Unfortunately, it was nothing. |
What a fabulous report, thank you!

Basilica Cattedrale di San Giorgio Ferrara
When we arrived, the cathedral was closed for the time being. Extensive lunch breaks are not uncommon in Italy, even for important buildings. Even from the outside, you could see that a lot of work was being done here.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...faebe99c5c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3c1c6116fa.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7d0eaf8895.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d7b7f92683.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...97c21e66ae.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2efa622d1c.jpg You could see the full extent of it inside, the church could only be viewed to a very limited extent. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d2097edffe.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...45fd26ab23.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d039c2dec.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8621dd8d4f.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7e63465e9d.jpg |
Diozaesan Museum Ferrara
The last stop was the Diozaesan Museum.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8c7c10a375.jpg It is a fine but manageable collection. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...650302323d.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b583c2d653.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8cec318ef7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0032bc3c03.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...22cdf5f24c.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ee5a4d3647.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a7d45442ad.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd4dc70d85.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4c68177b90.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd09819455.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...244780fbbc.jpg |
Le Calandre
As I said, I really wanted to eat at Le Calandre. I had a relatively rushed lunch there in 2019, this time I had a relaxed dinner.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...66208b6039.jpg If I see it correctly, we had the same table as last time. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...610144f280.jpg There are 3 tasting menus, but you can also eat a la carte. In general, they are very flexible, we put together our own individual menus, which wasn't the slightest problem. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0dd57431e8.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...516092dc7a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...68f9f0cbc2.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e93e12800f.jpg Bread and Amuse Bouche https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ca91b5af67.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9b7a1ab43e.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9be3f74f58.jpg Smoked fish crudo with tarbagon white sauce with fresh caviar and seaweed bread https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8e9f14b1ef.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...38f6cd45ee.jpg Chickpea "Stracchino" with herb oloive oil treviso radicchio, apple and orange salad https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a6a7fb4d5d.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7232b681af.jpg Risotto "Passi d´oro" 2.0 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c653767dfb.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4a6810c96c.jpg Broccoli rabe Mozzarella with vinegared beans, cold tuna belly and beet cream with white truffle https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2225cd0d32.jpg Crispy lasagnetta with cuttlefish liver cream, shellfish guazetto , seafood and mushrooms https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4433d4cba9.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...45e2851c28.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6c0aa49904.jpg Crispy ricotta, mozzarella and stracciatella canneloni with tomato passata https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2072e3f300.jpg Spaghettoni with shrimp, spillo squid, sardella cruolese and chickpea cream https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...75980142cf.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aa9c236953.jpg Coffee risotto, cold cauliflower cram with lemon, capers and bitter barely https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...619fde3771.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5cc7699e1.jpg Interesting decorations https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f2f57f7fc.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4d98506fa4.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...631bf51552.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f84dec061e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2025b3c53d.jpg Grilled calamari with polenta cream, tuscan kale and escarole pesto https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7f239d12da.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...51a983ec8c.jpg Dentex with artichoke sauce, sauted spinach and nduja colatura https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...516eae10c7.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...26debf3f45.jpg Petit fours https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...783921848b.jpg White truffle gelato cristallo with apples https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...88d98553b2.jpg Chocolate, hazelnut and coffee https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...39e14c3879.jpg Perhaps next time..... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5860f66c3d.jpg More petit fours https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c8eb9ceab8.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...69d0401c89.jpg Without question a great meal that we enjoyed very much.

That meal at le Calandre looks fabulous!

Villa Valmarana ai Nani Vicenza
The next day we travelled to Vicenza. We started at Villa Valmarana ai Nani.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...286c530a43.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...51f704de38.jpg There are actually 2 villas. Firstly, there is the manor house with frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, probably partly supported by his son Domenico. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ee1a92bf07.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...44568eaa25.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...62c39f5125.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5155f0bae6.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e83803747d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...97b14ac3b3.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd6ac3b90f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...929fb9816e.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dab7e68362.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...db9f097c0f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...564f8786b7.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d98b9fb50e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c957e38d4c.jpg We walked through the garden to the guest house. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...85a26a191c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dbaff65651.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...97807193ea.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7d9059d096.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8aae2bdef5.jpg The guest house was richly decorated by Domenica Tiepolo. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2bcea96583.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...395746d50f.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...04edadb115.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bc6d5b6791.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1364487886.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2203744278.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...776687fcf4.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84c63d196b.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c1dc48b29.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a47ad12948.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e1ded05860.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...18779da7a3.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84ac3dd640.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fa405c0c27.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4c10b7f652.jpg Not the only villa of the day, but more on that later. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6fdac14310.jpg |
Teatro Olimpico Vicenza
We went to the centre of Vicenza and started at the Teatro Olimpico.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...38e5f26c5c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...539e4f6e38.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aa4f7e2195.jpg The theatre dates from the 16th century and is the first work by Andrea Palladio that we are visiting today. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...97575baf4e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5d8ffba39b.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...92ab8878b4.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...344542bdea.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bf85ac712a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...62e8d3494a.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...40ce840ebf.jpg |
Museo civico di Palazzo Chiericati Vicenza
Opposite the Teatro Olimpico is the Palazzo Chiericati, which houses the city's art museum.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f8e7c45434.jpg Apart from the rooms, which are well worth seeing, the collection is of a very high calibre, including van Dyck, Tintoretto and Tiepolo. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...77c2d92f90.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b25d285466.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8dace8bd89.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea480d441a.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4a1ccdd353.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bc9ac7a697.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b3e663d589.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...feb57cb0d4.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b70a2b9740.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fce6e3f2f3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cd442be27f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e3abb335c8.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...49d7d65f97.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...803fca4368.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a5c2e37e22.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...07cfd1e667.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...95da0c38b6.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...23dbc909e3.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ca7fe69136.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...18d1df6692.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e6f255f2c9.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dff0132ed9.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...672cf0970e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...47177489f6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dd0dc976d9.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c41b186a63.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...17ff072dbe.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2a4981f7b4.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...34d131c00e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...55dde0e618.jpg |
Chiesa di Santa Corona Vicenza
Next came the Chiesa di Santa Corona.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c8d32a4e6d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6c54a155de.jpg The church belongs to the municipal museums and is richly filled with art. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f6792496a9.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0282125331.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ccc6586603.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...006c084cf5.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9bbdb43f05.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...449b12ddc5.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c7d60cccf6.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d059dfdc8.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...592971d4c6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e2b584d12.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1e8a8ac94a.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...415525a332.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fdb19a2dbe.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d628ceaa88.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d09fb53c6d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2779d25d93.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...57523b0ea6.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9a867b08f1.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1230906014.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d1250a0abc.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d7175db9fd.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f0cb76588e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b668a80b08.jpg There is also a cloister https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1af82b0b0e.jpg a lower church https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3c81fac6eb.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0fdd888b4d.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9f1180de45.jpg a sacristy https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2fde167239.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5c0b17d0c.jpg a small chapel https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...41575c3290.jpg and a corridor with information. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b4fa4399d8.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...717f4ccef9.jpg |
Great trip report, which brings back some childhood memories, as my aunt used to live in Vicenza for many years and as child we spent some time in this part of Italy during the summer month visting our extended Italian family.
I still remember (and like) the architecure of Palladio. |

Piazza dei Signori Vicenza
Vicenza's main square is dominated by the Basilica Palladiana.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...75480e7a7c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c7d28d3541.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...506ebb2354.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7bfea4bec3.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bf025deb28.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e3e6984531.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3d96587c93.jpg You can generally visit them, but there was only limited access to an exhibition and we decided not to. I particularly liked the Loggia del Capitaniato. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7c5c3cf623.jpg |
Museo del Gioiello Vicenza
The Museo del Gioiello is the first jewellery museum in Italy.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d01bb70b4b.jpg I hadn't really had the museum on my radar before, GF had seen it. I was really pleasantly surprised when I visited, it's a very nice collection. I can really recommend it. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9292228a92.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...96b59e13d7.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e4202069ad.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fb3bf61b6d.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...66a8437c0c.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e4452502a.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...703e66532a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b2741ab343.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6a42f49308.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b1087c9747.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...acea0d0b4f.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fb90645f88.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...194e3ff6af.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3be0c9d022.jpg |
Offerendum, this is an amazing trip report. Thank you for taking the time to post. I love the Veneto and Sud Tyrol part of Italy.
Your girlfriend's tea at Villa Feltrinelli looks amazing. Was access to the thermal pools included in your room rate at Esplanade Tergesteo? I've been to the Scrovegni Chapel but I have not been to the Baptistery in Padua. That looked like an amazing tour. Antler decor is heavily used in accommodations in the US Rockies and the Canadian Rockies. The animals shed the antlers and then the antlers are recycled into furniture or lamps. Did you make it to Venice? |

This time I focussed on the things I didn't know yet. |
Cattedrale di Santa Maria Annunziata, Duomo di Vicenza
Now to the cathedral of Vicenza.

Church of Saint Mary of Servants Vicenza
Finally, we went to the small church of Saint Mary of Servants in Piazza delle Biade.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3521106fd3.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...900f66e0ad.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e1cd5e7f7b.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cf673f0d58.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e1b3dfb188.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a8d8c08c22.jpg |
La Rotunda Vicenza
La Rotunda is one of Palladio's most famous villas and was the final stop of the day.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...861584a4c9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...95c791b502.jpg The heart of the villa is the rotunda. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d306bde6af.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0bac99d199.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bb7d6d0332.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...58d359457d.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eb005d6c7a.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...657ac2adc4.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...27d094e8f4.jpg The other rooms are also not uninteresting. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d5896772e7.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3846f38f45.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d95998b275.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8cbde4cad3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...699b4fed2d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6bfc7eb70d.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bc4a0742e8.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b8f65a8910.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...65f6ce1007.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a77cca045a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e76654c81.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f76f4ddbde.jpg Finally, a tour around the villa.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d42cd2ba75.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a16d1f41a8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f461e85989.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a56bda83e4.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...49f951bd5a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5ae754ba79.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c865dacd52.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...adbf951c8b.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...079d7fd018.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fd5a8f980a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...98193cd673.jpg |
Esplanade Tergesto Montegrotto Terme
In the evening we had dinner at the hotel again. This time it was remarkable in that there were quite high-quality starters with oysters and prawns.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ca7ef2eed7.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8f05307359.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7d5ae9a123.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2a4677c493.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aedf1d68c3.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cac3424fbe.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2b675cb301.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...399e2c1946.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dc7f442ee1.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a281893403.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cf5ddceb4e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dfe282653d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...848ab1c277.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b5f5c1a2cd.jpg |
Monselice
We travelled to Monselice, a pretty little town with many old buildings.
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ba787753ed.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd82e2eeae.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ed356a859f.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...52a505ac09.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8a8e19ddae.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4254d45803.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b90789015b.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e43e2e919.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cf7b71109d.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...40a474abce.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5429c93d35.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fec7a09c39.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...94f2b5e45f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1e41a33506.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e98bde349e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c518aa6c0.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5950c1fcf.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...828f6d5fc0.jpg |
Chiesa di Santa Giustina Monselice
This pretty church is located on the hill.

Gelateria Rome Monselice
We happened to pass this little gelateria. The selection of flavours looked good, and the sealed containers are often a good sign.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9aa3d75a79.jpg 80% in Italian, 20% in English, the visibly proud owner explained to me that he makes his gelato exclusively with fresh milk from the region. The gelato was really delicious and is highly recommended. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...654e3823e5.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...999ab726e5.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c2ddb2e8b8.jpg |
Castello Este
Next we drove to Este, where we parked right next to the town wall.

Este
We walked a little through Este, starting with Piazza Maggiore.

Gelateria Vaniglia Cioccolato
I became aware of the gelateria because of a Gambero Rosso sign. The gelateria actually has a Cono.
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6d5baaff24.jpg I found the gelato average. Not bad, but not memorable either. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...92d8d1d00f.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...45d94eafcb.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a720dd0f98.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6b3903242b.jpg |
Santa Maria Assunta Montagnana
The next stop was Montagnana. We were able to park directly on the market square next to Santa Maria Assunta.

Nevertheless, the church is richly decorated. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...742573d49f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c724574602.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...657e32fa93.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7a5ac13066.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0998ee5071.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e5c77fdb61.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...80ba3a1429.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...08fcef8564.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...65daf2e2ad.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5223384230.jpg |
