{: it}My name is Andrea Vici and I am an architect, like my father, my grandfather and my great-grandfather.
I was born in 1743 in this palace in the Palace (of Arcevia) and became First Architect of the St. Peter's Factory and First Engineer of the Congregation of Waters of the Papal State, which in my time was immensely larger.


I was a collaborator of Luigi Vanvitelli for the design of the Royal Palace of Caserta and President, after Antonio Canova, of the famous Academy of San Luca.
I am a successful Marche native, who left this small village with the trade in hand, thanks to my ancestors, who already built many beautiful buildings and churches between Jesi, Loreto and Fano.


You can't believe it, can you? that from these semi-lost places immersed in nature and intact architecture, as then, I was born who worked for Kings and Queens, Popes and Princes and collaborated with famous architects, sculptors and painters. In practice I became rich and famous, I traveled everywhere and led a good life in Rome but I never forgot my homeland, which always remained in my heart.


I am happy that today this place has come back to life….{:}{:en}My name's Andrea Vici and I'm an architect, just like my father, my grandfather and my great-grandfather were.

I was born in 1743 in this Palace (of Arcevia), later became First architect of the Fabric of Saint Peter and First Engineer of the Congregation of the Waters of the Papal State, a much larger state in the Eighteenth century.

I used to work with Luigi Vanvitelli for the project for the Royal Palace of Caserta, and later I became Permanent Principe, before Antonio Canova, of the famous Academy of Saint Luke.

I am a successful person born in a small village of the Marche region, expert in my profession thanks to my ancestors, who built several stunning palaces and churches in Jesi, Loreto and Fano.

Quite unbelievable – isn't it? – that someone like me, born in those isolated areas immersed in a natural landscape and an untouched architecture, could ever work for queens and kings, popes and princes, and worked together with famous architects, sculptors and painters. I became rich and famous; I traveled everywhere and lived a wealthy life in Rome. I never forgot my own fatherland, indeed; I always kept the Marche region in my heart.

I'm happy that today my place has come back to life…

 

PS: the Palace where Architect Andrea Vici was born is in Palazzo di Arcevia. A village immersed in the green hills between the provinces of Ancona and Pesaro-Urbino.{:}

The church of Santa Maria delle Tinte in Pergola, a baroque masterpiece, seems to have been built by a certain Arcangelo Vici ^_^

Andrra's father. Furthermore, there are errors, the house where he was born is near the oven door, this one above was then Casa Cesari perhaps built by his father Arcangelo. ANDREA lived across the street from where the parish priest is and the house was much larger than it is now.
