Summary:
Palladio lived and worked some 500 years ago in the Veneto, yet his influence, and particularly his impact on American architecture, has been greater than that of any architect since. This book shows how Palladio studied and reinterpreted the architecture of antiquity, how he developed his ideas, how his message spread, and how Palladianism developed.
