The next morning, we left Verona to stop by Vicenza, a city with many buildings and a history of Palladio. Together we visited the Teatro Olympio, a theatre space designed by Palladio. Its stage creates a perspective by having "streets" extend on an incline towards backstage and little "buildings" that get progressively smaller along the streets. It allows the actors to walk off stage as if they are walking down a street. It does a good job of playing a trick on the eye; we all wished we could have seen a play there to see how it does affect the play itself. It was very difficult yo photograph in the space they allowed us to sit though.

We really just spent the rest of our time there wandering around the area. We wanted to have a relaxing last day and just enjoy exploring the city itself. After a few hours, we headed back to Riva, arriving in time to start unpacking before dinner. We all slept very well that night!
The next day it was back to work so that we could finish our competitions we've been working on throughout the entire semester; we sent them off yesterday!
I will post the scanned boards as soon as possible so you can see what it is I've been up to in terms of studio this fall.
