The Secret Heritage of the Vicentine Hills

The useful part

Berico and the Valley of Silence, the Vicenza hillside is a true sanctuary of history, art, and European elite. Guardian of an architectural heritage bearing the Palladian mark, this area offers a rare blend: strategic proximity to major cultural hubs alongside absolute privacy, making it a top-tier gem in the luxury real estate market. To breathe the atmosphere of these places is to rediscover the very roots of great Italian literature.

How it works

• It was precisely here that Antonio Fogazzaro chose to spend his summers, finding inspiration for masterpieces such as The Little World of the Past (Piccolo Mondo Antico) and Daniele Cortis.
• A tradition of patronage and cultural breadth preserved over time by his descendants, the Counts Ceschi a Santa Croce, who in the post-WWII era continued to make this estate a touchstone for high society.
• An illustrious presence that confirms, yesterday as today, the priceless value of a location designed for those seeking absolute excellence.
