Many remnants of the old city of Vicenza remain evident. The
frescoes on the exterior façade of the Palazzo Thiene, dating back to the 15th
century, are some visible examples. After some research and analysis, it became
clear that the Fiume Retrone is the only river that has remained intact since Vicenza’s
establishment. Also the Teatro Olimpico at the top of Corso Palladio shows
evidence of the palimpsest of masonry and the structural integration necessary
for it to last till present day.
