We are staying in Villa Valmarana Braga in the very centre of Vicenza just off the Corso Palladio. Francesca Braga, the owner of the Villa, explained to us how the Palladian Villa was restored by her father, Luigi Braga, in the 1960s + 1970s, after it had been bombed in WWII.

I am starting to get my bearings re: Roman Vicenza. I have come here many, many times but not with 'Roman eyes'. The Piazza dei Signori is a good place to start to look for Roman Vicenza. Vicenza/Vicetia/Vincentia (meaning 'Victorious') became officially Roman in 157BC

I was out and about again today. Lovely plentiful rain this morning and then sun late morning. It is liberation day today in Italy. The day the allies freed Italy at the end of the Second World War. As such it is a public holiday. There was a big gathering in Vicenza main square.

Where possible, we cut #hadrianswall #nationaltrail wide to allow users to walk side-by-side which helps spread the load on the Monument 👍

Room with a view! #Vicenza at Villa Valmarana Braga designed by Palladio himself.

No flies on me ~ in 2018, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts trained Riley the Weimaraner to join its Protective Services, to sniff out beetles, moths & other insects that could damage museum artworks & records. Here he is, in ‘In-Training Working K9’ harness https://t.co/bObMDDKs8n
