Purely Palladio

Here is the man himself. The statue of Palladio in Piazza Palladio Vicenza (his home town). The Basilica behind was one of Palladio's first commissions. Vicenza is a remarkable place with an unbelievable classical heritage. I visited in February 2005 during my honeymoon and I managed to get a couple of architectural shots before being reigned in by my wife Charlotte!

It seems that romance won the day as you might tell with this image I took in the afternoon sunlight.
