About a city Vicenza, Italy

Vicenza is an ancient city. In 157 BCE it became part of the Roman Empire under the name Vicetia or Vincentia. In 889 it was destroyed by the Hungarians, and in 1001 it became the seat of a bishop. In 1404 it became part of the Republic of Venice.


The 16th century was very important for Vicenza because Andrea Palladio built several villas and palaces. During the 19th century, after the fall of Napoleon, the city was taken by Austria, but in 1848 the citizens rebelled against the Austrian government and in 1866 it finally became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
