How did Vincenzo Scamozzi’s completed work differ from Andrea Palladio’s original designs?

When Andrea Palladio died, he left several projects unfinished, including the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. These works were continued by his followers, most notably Vincenzo Scamozzi, though they were not always completed in strict accordance with Palladio’s original designs due to the changing architectural tastes of the period.1

Regarding the Teatro Olimpico specifically, Scamozzi completed the structure in 1585. While Palladio had designed the theatre as a scaled-down version of an outdoor Roman theatre with a permanent, heavily sculptured background, it remains uncertain whether his original plan included the three-dimensional street vistas that Scamozzi added behind the five stage entrances. Scamozzi constructed these model streets using timber and plaster on a raking stage, arranging them so that every audience member could view at least one of the vistas. This addition integrated the stage settings into the surrounding space, a hallmark of Scamozzi’s work as a stage designer.23
