Villa Gazzotti
At the Villa Gazzotti (built between 1542 and 1543), “Palladio had primarily to tackle the problem of absorbing a pre-existing tower-house…In the end, Palladio set a twin tower at the building’s other extremity and created two symmetrical apartments of three rooms each connected by a barrel-vaulted loggia to the great cross-vaulted stair…The emphasis on the cross-shaped hall and the presence of the three-room apartments belong to a design language that was gradually further refined over the years.” (Beltramini, p. 120)
