The Roman house in Veneto – I. Western Veneto

Thanks to several findings in the populated areas of the Roman towns in the Veneto it’s possible to look closely at different examples of Roman houses in our region. These findings enable us to learn about the organization of the space, the structure, the decoration of the rooms and everything related to the domestic life. This route, connected to "The Roman house in Veneto – II", begins with a visit of the domus (-house- in Latin) of the western Veneto .For example, Verona provides us both with an example of a house in the heart of the city centre and also with an example of a suburban villa; in Vicenza it’s possible to see a unique example of an underground room existing in northern Italy: a covered corridor belonging to a rich urban house situated here. The route ends at the Civic Museum of Vicenza with the visit of some remarkable mosaic covered floors which decorated the boardrooms of the houses.
