A SPECIAL PREVIEW
ANDREA PALLADIO 500, TONELLO VIAGGI 60:
the 2008 to celebrate for you, for us, together
On 30th november 1508 was born in Padova the great architect Andrea Palladio, who gave immense masterpieces to Vicenza e to Veneto, on 16th october 1948 was founded in the town of Palladio, and just in Corso Palladio, the tour operator Tonello Viaggi, actually taking his place among the oldest ten ones in Italy. From morning to night, every day we "breathe" Palladio: our travel agency (the tour operator centre is situated in Ca’ Balbi, also in Vicenza) borders on Casa Cogollo (number 167, called "Casa del Palladio"), at a few metres distance from the renowned palladian Teatro Olimpico and from the palladian Palazzo Chiericati, and a few minutes walking from the palladian Basilica and Loggia of the Capitaniato...
It’s a great honour for us to unify these two celebrations, 500 years from Palladio’s birth and 60 years of our activity - although they are obviously very different in the touch - proposing ten special itineraries linked to him and ideated to discover the Veneto.
