Veneto by Ferrari
The great arc of land that forms the Veneto Plain is one of tremendous contrast and has much to offer the visitor. Its ancient cities are rich in history and their magnificent architecture is world renowned. The source of the region’s wealth is manifest in the industrial landscapes around the towns, but these are never far from beautiful countryside, which includes the green Euganean Hills, calm lagoons and the undulating foothills of the Dolomites.
Wealth from agriculture, commerce and the spoils of war paid for the beautification of these cities through the construction of Renaissance palaces and public buildings, many of them designed by the region’s great architect, Andrea Palladio. His villas can be seen all over the Veneto, symbols of the idyllic and leisured existence once enjoyed by the region’s aristocrats.
