712 IT - City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto (1994)

Brief Description

"Founded in the 2nd century B.C. in northern Italy, Vicenza prospered under Venetian rule from the early 15th to the end of the 18th century. The work of Andrea Palladio (1508–80), based on a detailed study of classical Roman architecture, gives the city its unique appearance. Palladio's urban buildings, as well as his villas, scattered throughout the Veneto region, had a decisive influence on the development of architecture. His work inspired a distinct architectural style known as Palladian, which spread to England and other European countries, and also to North America."

维琴查城和威尼托的帕拉迪恩别墅

"维琴查城于公元前2世纪修建在意大利北 部，在威尼斯人的统治下，维琴查于15世纪早期到18世纪末达到全盛时期。意大利建筑师安德烈亚·帕拉第奥（1508-1580年）对古罗马建筑进行了详 细研究，赋予了这座城市独特的风貌。帕拉第奥的市区建筑，以及散布在威尼托区的别墅，对意大利的建筑发展产生了决定性影响。帕拉第奥的建筑作品形成了一个 与众不同的建筑风格，就是人们熟知的帕拉迪恩风格，这种建筑风格也传播到了英国、其他欧洲国家和北美。"
