Detail InformationEdit
Palazzo Chiericati is a Renaissance Palace in Vicenza (northern Italy), designed by Andrea Palladio.
The Palazzo was commissioned to Palladio by Count Girolamo Chiericati. The architect started building the architecture in 1550, some further work was completed under the patronage of Chiericati’s son and heir Valerio. However, the palazzo was not finally completed until about 1680, possibly by Carlo Borella. Palladio also designed a country home, the Villa Chiericati, for the family.
The palace’s principal façade is composed of three bays, the central bay projecting slightly. The two end bays have logge on the piano nobile level, while the central bay is closed. The façade has two superimposed orders of columns, Doric on the lower level with Ionic above. The roofline is decorated by statuary.
Since 1855 it has been the Museo Civico (“Town Museum”) and, more recently, the City’s art Gallery. It has received international protection since 1994, along with the other Palladian buildings of Vicenza, as part of a World Heritage Site. (The site originally designated was “Vicenza, City of Palladio” which included the city of Vicenza and its immediate surroundings. In 1996 UNESCO expanded the World Heritage Site to include villas outside the core area and renamed it “City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto”).
