Editing Vicenza (section)

==History==
Vicenza is an ancient city. In 157 b.C. it entered into the roman empire with the name ''Vicetia'' or ''Vincentia''. In 889 it was destroyed by Ungari, and in 1001 it became an episcopal stronghold. In 1404 it became part of the Republic of Venice.

Vicenza was a prosperous town under Venetian rule, and its pride was demonstrated in fine architecture, much of which still survives. Its 'unique appearance,' largely owing to the work of influential sixteenth-century architect Andrea Palladio, has led to the town's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site: City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto. During the XIX century, after the fall of Napoleon, the city was taken by Austria, but in 1848 the citizens rebelled against the austrian government and in 1866 it finally became part of the Kingdom of Italy. 

After Palladio, Vicenza is most famous for its trade in precious metals, and it's also known as the 'City of gold'.
