  Vincenzo Scamozzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincenzo Scamozzi (September 2, 1548 - August 7, 1616) born in Vicenza, Italy, was an architect and a writer on architecture, active mainly in Vicenza and Venice area in the second half of the 16th century.
Scamozzi's influence spread far beyond his Italian commissions through his treatise, L'Idea della Architettura Universale ("The Universal Idea of Architecture"), which is the last of the Renaissance works on the theory of architecture.

VINCENZO SCAMOZZI, one of the most successful and prolific architects of Venice and the Veneto, will never escape from the shadow of his mentor Andrea Palladio, who was the most influential architect in Western history.
Yet Scamozzi, himself the son of architect Giandomenico Scamozzi (1526-82), was a theorist and practitioner of great accomplishment.
Scamozzi's most prominent contribution to the landscape of Venice itself is the Procuratie Nuove, 1582, which comprises the south side of Piazza di S. Marco.

Scamozzi quindi decide di farsi ritrarre non di fronte a una sua opera o con fra le mani generici attributi della sua professione, ma come architetto impegnato in una ricerca fondativa della propria disciplina.
It was thus Scamozzi’s wish to be portrayed, not in front of one of his works or holding some generic indication of his profession, but as an architect committed to studying and confirming the fundamental principles of his art.
Like Alessandro Vittoria and Tiziano Aspetti, Scamozzi commissioned a famous artist at a time when his career was reaching great heights and he was rapidly ascending in the esteem of the intellectual circles of the capital of the Venetian Republic.

 Who is Vincenzo Scamozzi?
Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616) was one of the most famous architect in Venetian architecture, though he will never escape from the shadow of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580).
Scamozzi was the son of Giandomenico Scamozzi (1526-82), who was a practitioner of good accomplishment.
The Rocca Pisana is the most unique, interesting and fascinating of the Scamozzi’s villas, and the most well known, particularly because it is similar to the Rotonda, but it differs from the Rotonda which on the opposite has grandiose pronaos and is open to welcome the surrounding countryside.

Though Scamozzi also had important commissions of his own, such as the Procuratie Nuove in Venice (1582; completed a century later), few of his buildings were completed during his lifetime according to his plans.
In the preface to the Discorso, Scamozzi speaks of his plans to write about «Theatri e delle scene, e dell’abuso di farle», while in his discussion of perspective in the Idea, he mentions six books on the subject that he had already written and hoped to publish.
Following Barbaro, Scamozzi considers scenography to be a part of perspective study, and takes a rigorously mathematical approach that is fundamentally different from Serlio’s empirical method.

The construction work was carried on, with a few modifications, by Vincenzo Scamozzi and was only completely finished in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with the interior frescos by Alessandro Maganza and by Louis Dorigny.
Situated in Piazza dei Signori, facing the Basilica, it was designed by Palladio as the official residence of the Capitanio (a military authority instituted by the Venetian government) in 1571 as witnessed by the inscription on the right-hand architrave.
The structure of the palace is based on the characteristic stylistic elements of Palladian buildings, even if it was finally completed by the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi, during the early years of the seventeenth century.

The northern Italian architect, Vincenzo Scamozzi, (1548-1616) designed a number of important palaces, villas and churches in and around Vicenza, Padua and Venice.
Scamozzi distinguishes himself from his predecessors Vitruvius and Palladio by the scientific approach he follows in his treatise, in which his own designs appear as examples
Scamozzi's text was regarded as the most suitable manual for mastering the rules of building, and his theories had a considerable impact upon classical architecture in the Dutch Golden Age.

 Corinthian order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sebastiano Serlio; the Regola delli cinque ordini of Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola (1507-1573); the Quattro libri di Architettura of Andrea Palladio, and Vincenzo Scamozzi's Idea della Architettura Universale, were followed in the 17th century by French treatises with further refined engraved models, such as Perrault's.
Indo-Corinthian capitals also incorporated figures of the Buddha or Bodhisattvas, usually as central figures surrounded, and often under the shade, of the luxurious foliage of Corinthian designs.
Vincenzo Scamozzi offers his version of the Corinthian capital, in a portrait by Veronese (Denver Art Museum)

Vincenzo Scamozzi: Analytic Diagrams of Proportion and the Human Body (42.60.2.40)
Much involved with the codification of architectural principles and academic-theoretical detail, Scamozzi published here his version of the diagram of the "Vitruvian Man," which had such a strong appeal for the Renaissance architect and is familiar to us in the image drawn by Leonardo da Vinci.
The diagram, showing a man with extended hands and feet fitting exactly within the circle and the square, was meant to demonstrate the ideal proportion of the human figure as it relates to the two most perfect geometric forms and, ultimately, to the universe.

Mariani, whose family came originally from Siena, began his career in the workshop of Lorenzo and Agostino Rubini in Vicenza, and was probably involved in the statuary decoration at the Teatro Olimpico of Vicenza, designed by history's most influential architect, Andrea Palladio.
By 1589 he was one of the nine sculptors commissioned by Vincenzo Scamozzi to complete the acroteriali atop the Jacopo Sansovino-designed Marciana Library in Piazza di S. Marco at Venice.
Mariani contributed three of the stone statues -- Perserpine, Hymen (destroyed when the nearby belltower collapsed in the early 1900s) and Aeolus -- in the period 1588-91.
