This having been said, we also must acknowledge that Palladio's life was not a bed of roses. In Vicenza, for instance, he worked on commission for public works that changed the aspect of the town (just think of the Basilica on the Piazza dei Signori,) but in return he sadly had the pleasure of seeing only few of his palazzi being fully built, as these works were too ambitious for the urban families. In Venice also a different odd phenomenon happened: Palladio's palazzi were not considered apt for the capital, maybe because they were too innovative, or more likely because they were labelled as provincial; so that's why only few Palladian churches are reflected in the Venetian lagoon.[links] - Palladio 500 years, the great exhibition: from 20 September 2008 to 06 January 2009 - www.palladio2008.info
