Looking and Seeing Palladio

Life and works of the great architect who has worked between Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque, from his apprenticeship to his artistic maturity and fame. The volume proposes a deepening on the “bella facciata” (beautiful facade) and on the relationship between villa and garden, a study on all the buildings made by the great architect, and a conclusive section devoted to his heritage - i.e. the edification of churches after his lesson and the Baroque profane architecture, that of Venice and of neo-Palladian artists.

At the end of the 18th century the drawings from the Four Books of Architecture, the engravings at a 1:1 scale by Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi, and the corpus of buildings’ diagrams, sections, and elevations, that sometimes bear the measures of elements as frameworks or bases of columns, allow a detailed comprehension of Palladio’s work.
