Beautiful Villa Rotonda by Palladio in Vicenza

So this is a shout out to all the architecture students.  We have studied this building inside and out in our architecture history courses.  And let me tell you, its definitely worth studying. Very cool site to visit and to see in person.  On top of a hill overlooking a huge valley.  Symmetries taken to a new extreme and must have been a nice place to live once upon a time...

Town at the bottom of the hill, filled with more Palladio building.  Rotonda still wins

Loved these trees more than the building around it. oops. 

Just thought I would throw in some awesome pictures of gelato to round this post out.  Always makes any day 10 times better.

Dark chocolate is always so good.

Carmel and chocolate!
