Sengia dei Meoni Rock House
Highlight • Historical Site
This cave dwelling is known as 'Sengia dei Meoni,' after the last family who lived there until 1959. But on August 11th of that year, during a violent storm, lightning struck from the chimney, starting a fire, shaking the walls and making the building uninhabitable. The family survived, but the dwelling was permanently abandoned.
It was restored in 2013, with original rustic furnishings from the early 1900s, becoming a museum open only on specific months, days, and times: a blast from the past! For information:

Stone Museum of Zovencedo
Highlight • Historical Site
The extraction of the white stone of Vicenza from the Berici Hills, and in particular from the Zovencedo area, has a thousand-year-old tradition: there are numerous quarries in these hills, some still active and others closed. This stone has always been particularly appreciated and sought after, because at the beginning it is relatively soft and malleable, but with time and exposure to air it becomes very hard and resistant: Palladio himself used it extensively for his architecture.
The museum is open only in pre-established seasons, days and times. For info:
