	Villa - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Villa (or its cognates) is part of many Spanish placenames, like Vila Real and Villadiego.When it is associated to a person name, it was probably used in the original sense of a country estate rather than a chartered town.
		Rome had more than its share of villas with easy reach of the small 16th century city:Villa Madama, the design of which, attributed to Raphael, was carried out by Giulio Romano in 1520, was one of the most influential private houses ever built; elements derived from Villa Madama appeared in villas through the 19th century.
		In the 19th century villa was extended to describe any suburban house that was free-standing in a landscaped plot of ground, as opposed to a 'terrace' of joined houses.

	Palladio's Villa Emo by Lionel March for the Nexus Network Journal vol.3 no.4 Autumn 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Villa Emo is chamber music in the Dorian mode, in which the casa dominicale uses the ancient Pythagorean scale, and the workaday farm buildings in tune with the modern Zarlino scale—a hymn, indeed, Ancient and Modern.
		Villa Emo "glisters" among Palladio's works., but it is not cloaked in the gold of the golden proportion.
		Her misfortune, in casting a cloak of golden proportion over the Villa Emo, is that, unlike the quintessential studies of, say, M Borissavlievitch [1958], or R A Schwaller de Lubicz [1977], Palladio has given the actual measurements.

		Palladio constructed the villa for Leonardo Emo in the mid-Fifteenth Century.
		The villa's orientation follows this ancient pattern as one can easily see from the building's entrances, aligned on a very extended sightline.
		The design's purism is as surprising as it is calibrated: it suffices to observe that the external columns of the loggia are absorbed by the wall for 1/4 of their diameters, thus graduating the passage from hollows in shadow to brilliantly lit walls.

	Golden Proportions in a Great House: Palladio's Villa Emo by Rachel Fletcher for the Nexus Network Journal vol.2 no.3 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Rachel Fletcher examines Palladio's Villa Emo, reviewing the sources for harmonic proportions in architecture from Vitruvius to Alberti, and discussing both the rational proportions found in the plan of the villa published in the Quattro Libri as well as the incommensurable Golden Mean.
		Meanwhile, Golden Mean proportions also appear in the Villa Emo, whose measured drawings suggest that Palladio employed mathematical proportions through a consistent application of geometric techniques.
		A geometric analysis based on the 1972 survey of Villa Emo by Mario Zocconi and Andrzej Pereswiet Soltan reveals that the plan of the central block is not perfectly square, but proportioned to a circle that inscribes two smaller squares.
