The Basilica Palladiana

Vicenza is a city renowned for its wealth of palaces and residences, which reflect the diverse artistic, architectural, and urban phases of its history. These structures are particularly associated with the work of the 16th-century architect Andrea Palladio.

Contents

This page provides an alphabetical list of Vicenza’s civic buildings. It includes:

UNESCO World Heritage designation

In 1994, 23 Palladian monuments in the historic centre of Vicenza (along with three Palladian villas in the suburbs) were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the designation "Vicenza, City of Palladio". Of these 23 buildings, 16 are palaces, while the remaining seven are: the Arco delle Scalette, the Teatro Olimpico, the Loggia Valmarana in the Giardini Salvi, the dome and north portal of the Cathedral, the Church of Santa Maria Nova, and the Valmarana Chapel in the Church of Santa Corona.

The 16 palaces are:

A

Vicenza’s earliest Renaissance palace. The structure of the building and the style of the moldings suggest that it was built in the late 15th century, influenced by Lorenzo da Bologna. It passed from the Alidosio to the Conti family in the early 16th century. The first and second floors now house municipal offices, internally connected to Palazzo Trissino. [1]

Angaran palaces

Palazzo Angaran in Piazza XX Settembre

The Angaran were a noble Vicentine family whose medieval estates centred around Angarano (now a suburb of Bassano del Grappa), from which they took their name. They joined the Venetian patriciate in 1655 after paying 100,000 ducats to fund the Cretan War.

Built around 1480 for the Magrè family, possibly designed by Tommaso Formenton; faithfully rebuilt between 1921 and 1934.
A fine example of early Renaissance architecture, it is the only palace in Vicenza with two facades on a continuous portico. [3]

The Arnaldi were a noble Vicentine family, admitted to the Venetian patriciate and counted among the so-called Case fatte per soldo (houses made for money). They owned palaces in the city from the 15th to the 19th centuries.

Built in the last quarter of the 15th century (with evidence of Lorenzo da Bologna’s involvement), it features a refined Renaissance facade with a red marble portal, diamond-pattern cladding, and mouldings in red Nanto stone. [6]
Construction, attributed to Giandomenico Scamozzi, began in 1574; its neoclassical facade overlooks a spacious courtyard. [7]

Bissari buildings

The Bissari were a prominent family in Vicenza from the 13th to the 19th century, when their influence waned. They governed several fiefs and estates, notably the fief of Costa Fabrica, now Costabissara.

Renovated by Camillo Bissari in 1696, its attribution is uncertain. [13]
Commissioned by the Bissari in the late 15th century in Renaissance style (the fine portal remains), with 16th-century modifications; sold to the Arnaldi family in 1584. The humanist Enea Arnaldi died here. [15]

Constructed in the mid-16th century at the request of Girolamo Garzadori, who sought to renovate houses inherited from his uncle Battista Graziani. Palladio may have been commissioned for a study, but the patron’s death in 1567 halted the collaboration, though documentary evidence indicates part of the structure was built by 1564. Girolamo’s son completed the building before Palladio’s death; its compositional scheme aligns with similar Palladian structures. [68] It is included among the Palladian palaces designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Palazzo Thiene Bonin Longare

The Thiene are an ancient family that, while maintaining the city of Thiene as their primary area of interest, relocated to Vicenza in the early 14th century. They expanded their holdings across various parts of the province, reaching as far as Camisano Vicentino. The Thiene were granted the title of palatine counts by Emperor Frederick III in 1469.

Andrea Palladio conceived—and documented in his Four Books of Architecture—a unified project for the Thiene palace, intended to cover the entire area between Corso Palladio, Contrà Porti, Stradella della Banca Popolare, and Contrà San Gaetano Thiene. The project could not be fully realized, resulting in three distinct palaces within this block today:

A late expression (1450–1460) of local Gothic with Venetian influences. [157]
Built in the late 15th century by Lorenzo da Bologna and Tommaso da Lugano, who crafted the fine portal in red Verona marble, it underwent various interventions in the 16th century and was restored in 1872–73 after being acquired by the Banca Popolare. [158]
Construction began in 1542 based on Palladio’s design, intended to connect to the 15th-century palaces in Contrà Porti, but only the eastern section was completed. The palace has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1994. Historically the headquarters of the Banca Popolare di Vicenza, it is also used for exhibitions and cultural activities. [159]

Other palaces of the Thiene family include:

Designed by Andrea Palladio and built by Vincenzo Scamozzi after the master’s death, it is now the headquarters of the Vicenza Industrial Association. [160]
The ground floor and first floor are in mid-15th-century late Gothic style, while the second floor and attic were added in the mid-18th century. [161]

The Trissino were one of the most prominent families in Vicenza during the Renaissance. An ancient noble family of Germanic origin in the Vicentine region, they received feudal investitures from both the Empire and the Church. Their domains extended from the town of Trissino, where a castle stood, to other nearby villages, so much so that the Valle dell’Agno was known for centuries as the Valle di Trissino.

Built by Andrea Palladio in 1540 for the brothers Giovanni Giacomo, Pier Antonio, Vincenzo, and Francesco Civena, it was Palladio’s first city palace. It later became the residence of the Trissino dal Vello d’Oro counts, who significantly expanded it.

Palazzo Valle
Equipped with a courtyard, large internal garden, and stables, it was commissioned in the second half of the 17th century by Count Ottaviano Valle, who hosted King of Denmark Frederick IV in December 1708. The architect was likely Francesco Albanese. [178] In the 18th century, Count Giorgio Marchesini, affiliated with Freemasonry, established a Masonic lodge here in 1735 and commissioned frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo and his son Giandomenico, who depicted Masonic symbols and various allegorical images. [179] Some of these frescoes, removed at an unidentified time, are preserved at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and in other museums or collections. The palace had a large stable that could accommodate up to fourteen horses, a "botanical garden," and a "citrus grove." [180] [181] The quadraturist for the Tiepolo frescoes was Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna. The palace was owned by the Raselli counts in the 19th century and by the Sala family from 1899 to 1980. It was restored between 1982 and 1986. [182] [183] [184] [185] [186]

In the Room adjacent to the Gallery, in addition to ovals with the Virtues, there are monochrome decorations evoking Freemasonry: arches, staffs, lit torches, intertwined branches, and the caduceus of Mercury. The allegories of Time and Truth, Prudence, Patriotic Love, Temperance, and Fortitude are present in the Room of Time and Truth. Other allegories represented include Arithmetic, Geometry, Grammar, and Metaphysics.
