Status Updates From Palladio: The Complete Buil...

Only "Palladio's Legacy" remains to be read.

A spectacular theatre interior. it would distract from the play if you didn't lower the lights!

A second instance of rusticated columns - not outright hideous, like the first, but still a mistake in my view.

Villa Rotunda: Four-fold symmetry round a central dome. Most unusual but impressive.

Villa Emo: not at all gloomy! The Emo family were genuinely rich and this seems to have translated into a building that was completed according to Palladio's original design, rather than scaled down or left unfinished.

A second church, this one next to a Capuchin monastery. Founded by a group of particularly devout monkeys, presumably.

A church for the Benedictines in Venice; the cover image is the interior.

A convent rather than the usual villa or townhouse for a noble family; shame it was only very partially completed and that part badly damaged in a fire less than 100 years later.

The text of this book leaves much to be desired, unfortunately.

Where such pics are available they show the interiors to be just as impressive as the facades.

Rusticated columns! Horrid.
