      A key aspect of the success of the style of Palladio was due to his direct knowledge of materials and construction techniques. From this base Palladio built his theoretical knowledge, his travels, his culture construction. He draws its villas and entrusts the construction to trusted foremen familiar with the rules of art. Design and craftsmanship. A theory that starts from practice, a practice that needs theory. [it] Una degli aspetti essenziali del successo dello stile di Palladio era dovuto alla conoscenza diretta dei materiali e delle tecniche costruttive. Da questa base Palladio costruisce le sue conoscenze teoriche, i suoi viaggi, la sua cultura della costruzione. Disegna le sue ville e affida la costruzione a capomastri fidati che conoscono a fondo le regole dell'arte. Design e artigianato. Una teoria che parte dalla pratica, una pratica che ha bisogno della teoria. link: Venice 2132 - Open Studio - www.fondazioneclaudiobuziol.org

      txt: Endlessly copied, but never bettered - from Guardian Unlimited Art
      The results over the next 40 or so years were new civic buildings in Vicenza, the glorious churches of San Giorgio Maggiore and Il Redentore in Venice, but most of all the stupendous series of villas - original, timeless, amazingly beautiful - he built for the gentleman farmers of the Veneto. Just to recite their names and locations is to enter into a reverie of educated paganism: Lonedo, Maser, Fanzolo, Piombino, Dese, Malcontenta, Poiana Maggiore, Finale di Agugliaro, Vancimuglio, Villa Rotonda, Bertesina, Quinto, Lisiera, Caldogno, Montecchio. These designs have been endlessly copied all over the world.

      Palladio: too provincial, too innovative

      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.
