Andrea Palladio (1508–1580) is one of the key figures of the Italian Renaissance, an architect, theorist and connoisseur of ancient architecture. Having gone from an ordinary stonemason to an architect, he combined strong craft skills and high cultural aspirations of northern Italian admirers of ancient classics, into whose circle he was introduced by the humanists J. Trissino and D. Barbaro. The most famous designed by him in Vicenza are the Villa Almerico Capra La Rotonda, the Palladian Basilica, the Olimpico Theatre, the Cathedral of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Thanks to his students and followers, his creative principles and experience had a dramatic impact on the fate of world architecture. Palladianism is a special direction of European classicism of subsequent centuries, the basis for which was the treatise "Four Books on Architecture", first published in Venice in 1570. Having undergone numerous reprints and translations into foreign languages, this classic work retains its significance today, serving not only as a literary document of the XNUMXth century, but also as a model of high architectural culture.
