Train today from lovely Mantua to dream-like Vicenza, home of Palladio, the 16th century architect. Vicenza is rich with Palladio’s palaces, public buildings, churches and other buildings. One of the more remarkable buildings — although it is hard to make such distinctions — is Palladio’s 1585 theater, Europe’s first indoor theater, still in use. Vicenza is also justifiably famous for its food. I justified that again today.
