The Renaissance architect and builder Andrea Palladio is arguably one of the most influential architects in Western history. His sixteenth-century villas in the Italian Veneto revolutionized the course of architecture, and the principles on which he based his work are still felt today.

Brief descriptions of each villa and, where available, Palladio’s own woodcuts, accompany these new illustrations.
