Vicenza is a small city, but... | Basilica Palladiana - Vicenza, Italy |
full of real Italian charm. It's now a widely know place in Italy for tourists, but a lot of fun is to be had here.
I lived here for about two years while being assigned to US Army Southern European Task Force from 2000-2002.
There is some real history here, and some nice places to visit, but one would probably want to spend only a day or two here as a tourist.
ciao, and thanks,
