Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Palazzo del Monte di Pieta
The Palazzo del Monte di Pietà is a monumental complex built between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries in Vicenza , with the main facade on the central Piazza dei Signori and the two sides on Contrà del Monte and contrà Manin. In its central part it incorporates the church of San Vincenzo .
the Monte di Pietà of Vicenza - the first founded in the Venetian mainland at the time of the Serenissima - was created by the City of Vicenza and officially opened on 12 June 1486, about a month after the expulsion of the Jews from the city decreed by Doge Marco Barbarigo , with the contemporary establishment of a pawn shop in the church of San Vincenzo, which has since become the property of Monte.
In 1497 the lodges of the Basilica, under which the Monte was located, collapsed and the peacemakers decided to build, above the shops that the merzari ( merciai ) had between the church of San Vincenzo and the contrà del Capitanio, a beautiful house with two rooms up to the canton to keep you the pawns of Monte di Pietà . The new factory, consisting of Lombard mezzanines over the shops and two superimposed floors in classical style, was started in September 1499 with the contemporary internal restructuring of the church itself.
The works were completed in 1553-57 with the construction of the second wing, between the church and the contrà delle Vetture, now Manin - in the meantime the amount of objects pledged had become so large as to require the expansion of the building - with the same juxtaposition of the two styles and the same arrangement of planes and lines; the painter Giovanni Battista Zelotti decorated with fine frescoes the facades of the two twin buildings (the frescoes, admired by Vasari but almost disappeared between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, were replaced in 1909 by those of the Perugian Domenico Bruschi ).
The 72 meter-long main façade of the building dominates the northern side of Piazza dei Signori , opposite the Palladian Basilica , and bears traces - now almost illegible - of the frescoes of biblical scenes , by Bruschi. On the ground floor there are old shops, naturally renovated, dominated by late-fifteenth-century mezzanines with balconies , while the upper level, sixteenth century, consists of a row of classic windows, surmounted by triangular pediments and protected by bars , which protected the premises where the committed goods were deposited.
The western wing is clearly asymmetric and reveals its origin deriving from the renovation of pre-existing late-medieval buildings; the harmonization of the whole is given by neo-Renaissance windows of equal size but grouped into mullioned windows, triple or even quadruple. The eastern body, built half a century later, is much more regular and symmetrical. The Palazzo del Monte incorporates inside the fourteenth-century church of San Vincenzo , to which he donated the Baroque façade built between 1614 and 1617 . The remaining part of the ground floor is occupied by shops, offices and homes.

Vicenza Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Vicenza, Veneto, northern Italy. It is the seat of the Bishop of Vicenza, and is dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Construction of the cathedral was begun in 1482, to plans by Lorenzo of Bologna, and completed in the 1560s. The cupola was planned by Andrea Palladio and probably the north doorway also.
Only the original façade survived the bombing of World War II; the rest of the present building has been reconstructed. The maestri di cappella include Fra Ruffino d'Assisi (1525–31), Nicola Vicentino (1563–65), Giammateo Asola and his pupil Leone Leoni (1588-1627).
The original facade is Gothic and attributed to Domenico da Venezia 16th century. It is divided into four sections: the lower one has five arches in transoms, the second with arches in the center of an oculus, the third is smooth, the fifth is decorated with five statues (and two pinnacles added in 1948).
It is slightly detached from the church and placed in the street that runs along the south side of the cathedral.

Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Torre Bissara
Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Torre Bissara
The Torre Bissara , also known as Torre di Piazza , is a civic tower that overlooks Piazza dei Signori in Vicenza , flanking the famous Basilica Palladiana . With its 82 meters it is one of the tallest buildings in the city. The first news dates back to 1174 when the tower was built, at the behest of the Bissari family , next to their building. Between 1211 and 1229 the municipality of Vicenza bought both the building (with the intention of making it the seat of the podestà ) and the tower. Escaped from the terrible earthquake of 25 January 1348 , it was elevated towards the middle of the fifteenth century reaching the current height. Inside were relics of saints and the five bells. There were numerous interventions that, over the centuries, followed one another to maintain the stability and beauty of the tower. At the base there was a triumphal arch with the war memorial, surmounted by a coat of arms and the sculptural group of the crowned Madonna, enthroned with the child and two saints. The marble bas-relief of the Lion of San Marco is placed a little higher up. On the sides there are commemorative plaques and in a niche there is a headless painting by Pallas Athena, perhaps from the Roman era.
On March 18, 1945, the tower (together with the Basilica Palladiana) was hit by an Anglo-American bombardment . The top of the tower burned and the dome fell to the ground; so the tower presented itself to the Vicentini, the next day, cut off. The bells were also detached, destroying themselves on the pavement of the square. Together with the Basilica in the following years the tower was rebuilt, not without controversy concerning the form, partly different from the original one. Not all the bells were also replaced so that the sphere indicating the lunar phases that was placed under the watch was not replaced.
In 2002 the project for a radical conservative restoration of the tower was approved. The intervention moved in two directions: a part concerning static consolidation (a problem always present in Vicenza given the rich presence of water in the subsoil), another concerning the restoration of surfaces, friezes and decorations. The dial has been painted cobalt blue (as it was originally thought), the sphere of the lunar phases has been repositioned (thanks to the donation of a well-known jewelery) and the bells have been repositioned (donated by the Rotary Club Vicenza Berici).
In addition to the normal sound of the hours and mid-hours, the characteristic of the tower is also the ninth hour. This is a particular melody composed by Maestro Valtinoni (restored only in 2005 ) that you hear playing seven minutes before midday and seven minutes before eighteen (originally in place of 18 played at 24). The main bell , in tone of Mi , was made in 1663 by the founder Cristoforo Murari.
