Palladio's
Villas - Bucolic Fantasies of the Venetian Nobility
2008
marked the five hundred year anniversary of Palladio's birth. Born in
1508 as Andrea di Pietro della Gondola, Palladio went on to become one
of the most famous architects of the Italian Renaissance. His ingenious
architectural solutions for churches and villas have been imitated
through the centuries. In today's lecture, Dr. Leopardi will focus on
the architect's countryside villas and discuss the grandeur and
magnificence of the architecture as well as the light and spirited
frescos executed by Veronese. Villas like Villa Barbaro Maser were the
perfect embodiment of the Venetian's nobility's fantasy of bucolic life.
