Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Corso Palladio
Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Corso Palladio
Corso Andrea Palladio is the main street in Vicenza , named after the second world war by the famous architect. About 700 meters long, it crosses the historical core of the city from west to east, respectively from Porta Castello to piazza Giacomo Matteotti. The course of the current course corresponds substantially to what, in Roman times, was the decumanus maximus of the city and, at the same time, the urban stretch of the consular Via Postumia . Also called strata major , after the construction of the early medieval city walls it was bordered to the west by the Porta Feliciana (very close, although not all coinciding with the Porta del Castello) and to the east by the Porta San Pietro (on the right bank of the Bacchiglione river, height of the bridge of St. Peter, time of the Angels).
During the Middle Ages and in modern times it retained its function as a link between the cities of the Veneto plain (respectively Verona and Padua), so that at its edges were opened inns, taverns and places for rental cars; Generally it was called Strata major , Strà grande , or simply Strà. It was also important public place. Already during the Middle Ages there were four points in which the public crier had to go to proclaim the decrees of the city government and the sentences of condemnation issued against the guilty: the door Sancti Petri , the plathea Sancte Corone , the domus illorum de Caldogno ( at the beginning of the current contrà Porti) and the canton of the red well (the intersection with the current Corso Fogazzaro)
The Course starts from the Porta Castello and from the Torrione (at No. 1) - the only remaining structures - of the mighty Castle built in 1343 by Antonio and Mastino II della Scala , who restored the Ezzelian fortress destroyed 50 years earlier, extending it into a a real castle, which occupied a square area, surrounded by deep pits, surrounded by towers at the four corners and the tower at the center. The current appearance of the Tower, with the projecting battlements with embrasures above corbels and with the addition of the lantern summit, almost certainly belongs to the Visconti period at the end of the fourteenth century
Next is Palazzo Marchi . A part of the castle, demolished in the nineteenth century, was replaced by this palace, whose high fence wall borders the course. The entrance, at the center of the wall, is given by an arched portal with a round arch, with a female head in an arch and crowned by a triangular tympanum with two reclining female figures holding a cartouche in the pediment
On the opposite corner of the square, at no. 13, there is the Palazzo Thiene Bonin Longare , the Vicenza headquarters of Confindustria , which has promoted its restoration. The palace, which Francesco Thiene had built on the family property, was designed by Andrea Palladio presumably in 1572 and built by Vincenzo Scamozzi after the death of the master; it was bought in 1835 by Lelio Bonin Longare. Since 1994 he has entered, along with other Palladian architecture in Vicenza, in the list of world heritage of ' UNESCO.The similarity with other Palladian projects - for example with Palazzo Barbaran da Porto - makes one think of the seventies of the sixteenth century, both in the design of the lower part of the facade and in the large double- order loggia overlooking the inner courtyard .
The side instead - with the ground floor covered with mild ashlar, the tall French windows on the first floor crowned with alternately triangular and curved tympanum, the little protruding balustrade balconies - is the work of Scamozzi, considering the resemblance with Palazzo Trissino al Duomo . Even the deep atrium, substantially indifferent to the order grid, could be scrapped.
