Our adventure takes us to Padua’s Giotto frescoes and Donatello sculpture; to Verona, with her magnificent amphitheatre and Mantegna’s San Zeno; to Vicenza, Palladio's city; and a tour of villas including La Rotunda and Villa Barbaro at Maser.

We’ll travel to Bassano del Grappa, home to Jacopo Bassano and (yes!) Grappa.

We’ll see Asolo and Udine’s rarely-seen frescoes, Aquileia, and other highlights.

We’ll end our visit in the watery city of Treviso where hardly anyone goes, and everyone should!
