This is one piazza called Piazza Signori which connects with Piazza Erbe to make one big piazza. There are long and elegant buildings in these squares. Basillica Pallidiana is the main feature, however, when we were there, much of the facade was under restoration. |

|  | Pallazzo Chiericati A quite lovely museo that features many works of art, paintings and statues. |
| | A river runs through and around it The city is relatively easy to get around after you know the difference between right and left. It took a while to get into the inner part of the city from the autostrada. Fiume Adiga comes from up in the hills and grows as it reaches toward the Adriatic Ocean.
The city ws made wealthy form gold, and at one time they accounted for 35% of Italy gold exports. Most have worked in this industry since 1300's, and even to this day a number of locals rely on the precious mineral for livelihood. |
