town of Vicenza, Italy. The considerations should also explore issues of making,

tourism, industry, culture and re-generation within the context of 21st Century

global markets and in relation to a delicate historic local environment. This will require an understanding of the ancient city of Vicenza its history and the challenge of an ancient urban form which is relevant within the 21st Century. An investigation of existing left-over space, in-between place and consideration of palimpsest will be essential in defining new opportunities and a clear strategy within the ancient city. In addition an understanding of the contemporary pressures on

maintaining and sustaining industry with respect to tourism and craft will also be required. Locations: Vicenza is located

in the north east of Italy in the Veneto region close to Venice and Verona. The investigations in this project are focussed within the ancient city centre bounded by the old city walls.

Method: Students will need to

demonstrate an understanding of the nature of Vicenza and the relationship of old to new. This will require an investigation of the urban grain within the ancient city walls, the city block, Palladio and his villas, and the Bacchiglione River and Fiume Retrone. In addition an exploration of the history of gold manufacturing will be essential in positioning for a continued reinvigoration of craft production and contemporary jewellery in Vicenza. Exploration of Venice and other surounding areas and cities are also a must.

BRIEF HISTORY 157BC

Roman Rule (creation) Vicenza was sited in a strategic position as recognised by the Romans who re-named the town ‘Vicetia’ and incorporated it into their empire in 49BC.

Development alongside Venice From the 15th century the history of Vicenza follows similar lines to Venice.

World War One Vicenza’s area was a location of major combat in both World War I (on the Asiago plateau) and World War II (a focal center of the Italian resistance), and it was the most damaged city in Veneto by Allied bombings, including many of its monuments; the civil victims were over 2,000.

49BC Given Roman Town Charter It then acted as a main base along the Roman route from Milan to Trieste. The Corso Palladio still

Rapid Economic Development In the 1960s, the whole central part of Veneto, witnessed a strong economic development caused by the emergence of small and medium family businesses, ranging in a vast array of products (that often emerged illegally) that paved the way for what would be known as the “miracolo del nord-est” (“miracle of the northeast”).
