Andrea Palladio is nowadays well-known as the most important architect the western world has never created. During the last years the decline of the modern architectural movement has brought up a new interest for the classical style and for Palladian works of art. Witnesses of his art and imperishable will of his architectural genius are dozens of villas and luxurious buildings around Vicenza.

There are also hundreds of thousands houses, public buildings and churches with symmetrical fronts and halved pillars surmounted by a gable, dotted around the Western world, which derive from Palladio's projects. Among all the architects he was the one most widely imitated, probably because just by himself he has influenced the development of the English and American architects most than any of the Renaissance's masters all together.

His work appeared to many generations as the perfect reincarnation of the classical tradition, due to clear similarities to the Roman and Greek ancient styles. Palladio inherited a sense of linearity and relation between parties and the whole, from the great school of Italian architects - from Brunelleschi, Bramante and Michelangelo – re-elaborating all in such a way to represent the Renaissance’s quintessence, so that to leave an imperishable sign of these styles and his artistical genius. Despite few biographical elements left to the descendants, Palladio left his most complete biography in his own drawns, projected buildings and amazing Villas.
