Archival Overview

Most influential architect in Western history whose 'The Four Books of Architecture' and harmonious villas (Villa Capra 'La Rotonda') created worldwide Palladianism.

Biographical Record

Andrea Palladio (1508–1580 CE) began as a stonecutter in Vicenza, mentored by humanist Gian Giorgio Trissino who gave him his classical surname Palladio.

Reviving Vitruvian symmetry and Roman harmonic proportions, he designed sublime country villas across the Veneto (Villa Rotonda) and churches in Venice (San Giorgio Maggiore), directly inspiring Thomas Jefferson and English classical architecture.
