After the successful conclusion of the centenary celebrations of Andrea Palladio's birth, there are still many unanswered questions about his work. Antonio Foscari retraces Andrea Palladio's life and offers new perspectives on the architects built and unbuilt work.

The author reveals an image of Venice that differs from the one we all know: a city that projects herself into the modern age by abandoning the accepted principles of late medieval culture that had so profoundly influenced its formation. AUTHOR: Antonio Foscari, Architect and Professor of History of Architecture at the University IUAV of Venice since 1971, has researched and published extensively throughout his career in the field of Renaissance architectural history. Since 1973, the year in which he restored the villa built by Palladio in Malcontenta, Foscari focussed his research on Andrea Palladio. SELLING POINTS: . A riveting picture of what Venice could have looked like today if Andrea Palladio had built his unbuilt projects 230 illustrations
