On Saturdays and Sundays there are free guided tours of the Palladio Museum in Vicenza.

The Palladio Museum tells the life and works of the most famous architect of the last five centuries, Andrea Palladio. The museum is set up in the historic center of Vicenza, in Palazzo Barbaran da Porto, one of the most beautiful buildings of the great architect: it is the only city palace for which Palladio managed to complete the construction site and which also preserves intact sumptuous decorative apparatus: frescoes by Giambattista Zelotti, canvases by Andrea Vicentino, stuccos by Rubini. At the Palladio Museum you discover Palladio’s architecture, but also the society, construction techniques and culture of villas in the Veneto of the sixteenth century, through original drawings, architectural models, ancient books, videos, photographs.

On Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th April at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. there will be free guided tours for the “PALLADIO DESIGNER” exhibition which, on the occasion of the Milan Design Week, aims to tell the story of Palladio’s activity as a designer of some micro architectures such as fireplaces, hand basins, sinks, well rings and a cupboard for Alvise Mocenigo’s coin collection and does so using new digital tools. At the basis of everything is the 3D acquisition of these objects using a commonly used tool: the smartphone.

LeieLei by Matteo Daloiso at Relais Santa Corona, Vicenza

Free entry, from 11/27/23 to 12/17/23

The Relais Santa Corona presents the ARS IUVENES exhibition offering the opportunity to young artists who attend the Academy of Fine Arts to exhibit their works for free.

The first artist selected is Matteo Daloiso, born in Vimercate (MB) in 2003. An experimental artist, he is particularly attracted by the expressive potential of colour. He currently studies artistic decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brescia.

The exhibition aims to reconstruct all facets of the female figure. Since the artist is a man, it is a real investigation, driven by a profound respect but also fascination towards the subject. Each work is imbued with a different vibration impressed by the artistic techniques used. The women represented belong to different times and places. The path is inaugurated by the revisitation of the Nike of Samothrace, a symbol of beauty for the classical world. It is compared to the different costume of the contemporary woman, represented in two panels: a sober girl at the bar and the diva in an evening dress. A design element acts as a connection: a sideboard, made with recycled materials, where two women invite us to grab the handles and open the doors to follow them into their fantastic universe which also becomes ours. In his subsequent works the artist expresses the modesty and delicacy of the faces, outlined with spontaneous instinctiveness thanks to the skilful use of the brush. The female world appears to us in the dream of the double-faced mantis woman, but also in the representation of the subhuman condition of Afghan women, often forced to hide their nature; the work is placed alongside, as if in reaction, an almost photographic depiction of a girl who screams her desire to live to the world: she suffers from her but is also resilient, as symbolized by the water that flows and wets her face . The same energy explodes in the last canvas that closes the exhibition, a pop reinterpretation of a female face.

When maestro Iván Fischer founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 1983, he saw a long-held dream come true. The philosophy behind the orchestra was to create a group of musicians who were creative, responsible and within which each would continue to develop their musicality in the orchestral, chamber and solo repertoire.

The orchestra will perform at the Teatro Olimpico, close to Relais Santa Corona, in Vicenza from 27 to 29 October 2023 and the program will be:

Thursday, 26 October, Premiere “Pelléas et Mélisande“
Friday, 27 October, “Pelléas et Mélisande“
Saturday, 28 October, Concert with the Budapest Festival Orchestra
Sunday 29 October, “Pelléas et Mélisande”
