Vicenza is a small city, although many blocks are lined with palaces. There are palaces everywhere, some designed by Palladio in the 1500s. Two of the better preserved are Palazzo Thiene and Palazzo Leoni Montanari,the second, also known as galleria d’Italia, houses a notable collection of Russian icons.
Wandering the city today I encountered two pop up markets, one selling clothes, and the more interesting one a pop up food market, which in addition to the usual produce market also had a butcher, fish monger and hot foods and sandwiches.
