Visit of Asolo

Defined by the writer Carducci "City of a hundred horizons", Asolo is one of the most beautiful cities of Italy , gathering within the ancient walls that branch out from the castle, a fortress of the XII century that preserves evidence of its long history in every corner. Magical town with its rolling hills, Asolo was the ideal destination of poets and writers, artists and travelers, who have found inspiration and harmony here. Asolo is part of the "City of Wine" thanks to its typical wine-making process and the respect for the environment and local identities.
Villa Barbaro, is the Masterpiece of Andrea Palladio, with frescoes by Veronese and statues and stucco of Victoria, represents an artistic bond of inestimable value, and a UNESCO world heritage. The villa is located halfway up the hills of Asolo, not far from a source that, according to the tradition, was a place of worship and perhaps also home to a temple. We will visit the halls containing one of the most extraordinary fresco cycles of the Venetian ‘500, made by the famous artist Paolo Veronese, with a particular focus on the architecture of the villa, considered one of the most valuable assets of the Venetian Renaissance.
