	Tuscan order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tuscan order in Andrea Palladio, Quattro Libri di Architettura, 1570
		Among the classical orders of architecture, the Tuscan order is the newcomer, a stocky simplified variant of the Doric order that was introduced into the canon of classical architecture by Italian architectural theorists of the 16th century.
