About the author

Italian architect Andrea Palladio developed a style, based on the classicism of ancient Rome and breaking with the ornate conventions of the Renaissance; his works include the villa Rotonda and the palazzo Chiericati in Vicenza.

Four Books of Architecture , derived in great part from Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, elaborated the principles of Andrea Palldio; people widely adopted these principles and consequently often consider him the most influential individual in the history of west, "valued for centuries as the quintessence of high Renaissance calm and harmony," according to David Watkin in A History of Western Architecture .
