“Santa Maria in Foro, known as the Church of the Servi, is a church in Vicenza located in Piazza Biade, a small square adjacent to Piazza dei Signori. Its construction was begun in the early fifteenth century by the order of the Servants of Mary. The church's portal was made by the workshop where Andrea Palladio worked at the beginning of his career and could be one of his very first works. The construction of the current building of the church of Santa Maria in Foro was begun on a pre-existing building after 1404, the year in which Vicenza came under the dominion of the Republic of Venice.” (Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi, Wikipedia)
