Marostica
Marostica is a little fourteenth century town in the hills of the Vicenza piedmont area, a gem built in stone that has always held a fascination for visitors, with two castles and a circuit of curtain walls and towers that slope down to embrace the plain. Marostica boasts ancient neighbourhoods, Baroque churches, chapels, monasteries, hermitages, noble buildings, historical dwellings and Art Nouveau villas, all surrounded by lush emerald greenery, with dozens of trails winding their way through cherry and olive trees and spontaneous woodland, or alongside crystal-clear streams that are home to egrets and herons. A glorious, epic past meets an equally legendary present, with the famous Human Chess Game, an event that has no equal worldwide, an intellectual duel that makes Marostica a land of peace and love.
