The Jewel of Vicenza (Italian: Gioiello di Vicenza) was a silver model[1] of the city of Vicenza made as an ex-voto in the 16th century and attributed to the architect Andrea Palladio.[2][3] The Jewel was stolen by the Napoleonic army during the Italian Campaign in the French Revolutionary Wars[4] and subsequently destroyed.[3] A copy was created between 2012 and 2013.[5][6]
^The Jewel of Vicenza was originally called the Modello (model) or Modellino (small model), but from the 18th century onwards the term Jewel was used more often. Jewel is also the term used by the Municipality of Vicenza and the Diocese of Vicenza. See also Barbieri, Cevese, 2004 and Barbieri, 1973.

Quando, nel 1577, i vicentini vogliono presentare alla Madonna di Monte Berico, in ringraziamento dello scampato flagello della peste, un "modello" della città in legno rivestito d'argento, la cara "piccola patria" vi appare ripresa, con ineccepibile quanto significativa, drastica "semplificazione", chiusa nell'anello circolare rappresentato dalla città più antica con le sue cinque porti principali. Scomparso il "modello" sciaguratamente distrutto dai Francesi nel 1797, possiamo, infatti, fortunatamente verificarlo grazie a due puntuali rese pittoriche, non-molto più tarde, di Alessandro Maganza e di Francesco Maffei: senza peraltro dimenticare che all'"invenzione" del "modello", non era rimasto estraneo, nel 1578, lo stesso Palladio.
When, in 1577, the people of Vicenza wanted to present to the Madonna di Monte Berico, in thanksgiving for the survived scourge of the plague, a "model" of the city in wood covered with silver, the dear "small country" appears to you taken up again, with impeccable as well as significant, drastic "simplification", closed in the circular ring represented by the oldest city with its five main ports. After the disappearance of the "model" badly destroyed by the French in 1797, we can, in fact, fortunately verify it thanks to two precise pictorial renditions, not much later, by Alessandro Maganza and Francesco Maffei: without forgetting that the "invention" of the "model", had not remained foreign, in 1578, the same Palladio.
