The Risorgimento and Resistance Museum covers Vicenza's role in the struggle for Italian unification and in the resistance during the Second World War. It is near Monte Berico, making it easy to combine with the sanctuary and the hillside views over the city.
This is a specialist history stop rather than one of Vicenza's Palladian showpieces. It works best for visitors who want context on modern Italian history after seeing the city's better-known churches, villas, and palaces.
