Andrea Palladio's work

In the moment in which Venice was looking for new economic roads inland, Palladio invented a new model of villa-businesses which succeeded in copies throughout the world, above all in America at the end of 1800.
The villas of Palladio were constructed in the Veneto area , above all in the area of Vicenza, his adopted home, and in the area of Treviso. They were constructed along the Brenta River, which permitted the links between Padua and Venice, and there remains only the sumptuous, finely decorated "Malcontenta".
The other villas that populate the banks of the Brenta River, were made by contemporaries that were inspired by the example of the works of Palladio.
