CHIERICATI PALACE
Vicenza, Italy
Palazzo Chiericati is a building of the early maturity
of Andrea Palladio. Designed in the mid-sixteenth
century by the noble family of Chiericati and
completed at the end of the seventeenth century,
the palace is a milestone in the career of architect
Palladio.
Backing onto a large open area known as the
square of the island, as it is bordered by the rivers
Bacchiglione and Retrone, the building is shaped
like a suburban villa with a majestic urban front
that echoes an ancient Roman forum, thanks to the
double order of loggias.
The Municipality di Vicenza bought it from the noble
Chiericati family in 1839 to house the city’s art
collection.
The building now houses the Painting and Sculpture
Collections, the Drawings and Prints Rooms and the
Numismatics Room.
