THE FASCINATION OF SCULPTURES IN "VICENZA STONE"

Vicenza Stone, so well-loved by Palladio, was used by many great Renaissance artists to express  themselves to the fullest.  But earlier still it was used by skilled local craftsmen to make elegant everyday objects for love: to fashion ornamental figures for the beautiful  that can still be along the banks of the Brenta or in the Eden of Berici Hills.
