Andrea Palladio
Villa Rotonda, near Vicenza, Italy, by Andrea Palladio, 1550–51.
The Villa Godi, designed by Andrea Palladio around 1540, features a floor plan that is clearly derived from the Villa Trissino at Cricoli.1
While the Villa Godi incorporates elements typical of traditional Venetian country houses, it serves as an early example of Palladio’s architectural evolution. It establishes key features that would define his future work, such as the inclusion of symmetrical flanking wings intended for stables and barns, as well as a walled courtyard positioned in front of the main structure.1
