The ninth edition of the Internazionali Di Tennis – Citta’ Di Vicenza was held at Tennis Palladio 98 in Vicenza. The city is renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors, Venice and Verona, Vicenza holds its own as a treasure trove of Renaissance art and architecture, primarily thanks to the work of the renowned architect Andrea Palladio.
