Andrea Palladio: Italian architect 
 
A new exhibition celebrates Palladio’s architecture 500 years on 
 
A. 
Vicenza is a pleasant, prosperous city in the Veneto, 60km west of Venice. Its grand families 
settled and farmed the area from the 16th century. But its principal claim to fame is Andrea Palladio, who is 
such an influential architect that a neoclassical style is known as Palladian. The city is a permanent 
exhibition of some of his finest buildings, and as he was born— in Padua, to be precise—500 years ago, the 
International Centre for the Study of Palladio's Architecture has an excellent excuse for mounting 
lagrande 
mostra, 
the big show. 
 
B. 
The exhibition has the special advantage of being held in one of Palladio's buildings, Palazzo 
Barbaran da Porto. Its bold facade is a mixture of rustication and decoration set between two rows of elegant 
columns. On the second floor the pediments are alternately curved or pointed, a Palladian trademark. The 
harmonious proportions of the atrium at the entrance lead through to a dramatic interior of fine fireplaces 
and painted ceilings. Palladio's design is simple, clear and not over-crowded. The show has been organised 
on the same principles, according to Howard Burns, the architectural historian who co-curated it.
