	Andrea Palladio
		Sarà proprio lui a soprannominarlo Palladio, a guidarlo nella sua formazione culturale improntata soprattutto sullo studio dei classici, a condurlo, infine, più volte a Roma.
		Nel 1570, inoltre, Palladio pubblica il trattato I quattro libri dell'architettura, espressione della sua cultura, dei suoi ideali ed anche della sua concreta esperienza.
		Andrea Palladio: l'attività palladiana, si concretizza in opere di assoluta bellezza, dal palazzo Chiericati alla villa Barbaro di Maser, dalla Malcontenta a Mira alle chiese veneziane del Redentore e di S. Giorgio Maggiore, fino alla notissima Rotonda.

	Palladio - Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio :::
		Palladio trovò ispirazione nei grandi complessi antichi che somigliano alle dimore di campagna circondate dalle loro dipendenze, o che forse credeva davvero fossero dei complessi residenziali - esemplare è il tempio, che egli aveva rilevato, di Ercole Vincitore a Tivoli.
		A palazzo Porto, a villa Poiana, alla Basilica e a palazzo Chiericati, Palladio completa l'assimilazione delle lezioni dei suoi più influenti contemporanei; e passa dall'ecclettismo degli anni '40 alla formulazione di un proprio inconfondibile linguaggio, mostrando allo stesso tempo un'intelligenza architettonica di altissimo livello.
		Palladio realizzò in pietra quest'ultima efficace soluzione a villa Sarego.

	Palladio - Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio :::
		Palladio in his designs sought to co-ordinate all these varied elements, which in earlier complexes had usually found their place not on the basis of considerations of symmetry vista and architectural hierarchy but of the shape of the available area, usually defined by roads and water courses.
		Palladio's Quattro libri (Venice, 1570), is his influential architectural testament, in which he set out his formulae for the orders, for room sizes, for stairs and for the design of detail.
		It was therefore not only Palladio's architecture, with its rational basis, its clear grammar, its bias towards domestic projects, but the effectiveveness of his book as a means of communication that led to the immense influence of Palladio on the development of architecture in northern Europe, and later in North America.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Andrea Palladio
		There is a tradition that he was the son of a poor carpenter, with no surname of his own, and that the famous humanistic poet, Gian Giorgio Trissino, became his patron and gave him the name of Palladio, in fanciful allusion to Pallas, the Greek goddess of wisdom.
		Palladio may be taken as the representative of a wholesome reaction against the decadent tendencies of his age, and may be said to have fixed good architectural style for many succeeding centuries.
		Palladio's writings, particularly "Le Antichità di Roma" and the "Quattro Libri dell' Architettura", did more than anything else to spread his influence over Europe: many editions were published in Italy between 1554 and 1642.

	Andrea Palladio
		His father, apprenticed young Andrea to a stonecutter in Padua, in 1521, but the lad absconded to nearby Vicenza when he was barely fifteen years old, frustrated by the slowness with which he could see his career would progress if he remained.
		Andrea became an assistant in the main stonecutting and masonry workshop of Vicenza and there appeared to have settled into a lifetime's work but, some fifteen years later, in 1537, whilst he was working for Gian Giorgio Trissino, assisting with the additions to Trissino's villa at Cricoli, outside Vicenza, his life took a new direction.
		Within a year, Palladio's own workshop was engaged in building Villa Godi, the first of a series of villas and palaces he was commissioned to design for the provincial nobility.

	About Andrea Palladio \| Abbeville Press

	Octavo Editions: Palladio Architettura
		Palladio reasoned that only through such study could the greatness of ancient architecture be understood and reinterpreted convincingly.
		He believed that an essential contribution to its greatness was the concept of Virtue, which derived from a sound education in the arts and sciences, and the exercise of knowledge and wisdom in the public domain for the benefit and enhancement of civic life.
		Palladio highlighted this vision of the well-rounded architect in pursuit of excellence in I quattro libri by depicting on the frontispiece to each of his four books Regina Virtus, the Queen of Virtue, as mother of the arts, presiding over his architectural deliberations within.

	Andrea Palladio
		Andrea Palladio - Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, detto (Padova 1508 –Maser, Treviso 1580).
		Palladio, pur desumendo dallo studio diretto dei monumenti antichi gli elementi morfologici classici, li reinterpreta in un linguaggio architetettonico nuovo sia a Vicenza, Palazzo Chiericati (1550 c.), Palazzo Valmarana (1565/66), l’incompiuta Loggia del Capitanio (1571), che nelle ville dell’entroterra veneto dove il patriziato veneziano consolida il proprio patrimonio con la rendita fondiaria.
		Oltre che nelle campagne e nella città di Vicenza, di cui rinnovò il volto monumentale, Palladio fu attivo anche a Venezia, dove realizzò le grandi chiese di S.Giorgio Maggiore (1566) e del Redentore (1577-92).
