Palladian Villas S
pread throughout the Veneto fields
and hills, at least 4,000 villas
represent one of the peculiarities of
architecture that developed in the Veneto
territory from the XV to the XX century.
More than any other architect who worked
in the area, Andrea Palladio – born in Padova
in 1508 – influenced his time and centuries
afterward, not only in Italy and Europe, but
also in North America.
After he studied the classics, such as Roman
architecture, he reinterpreted the villa type,
adapting it to the new needs of the wealthy
noble families who owned properties on the
terraferma, the countryside around Venice.
The villa became not only a residence for
the rich city dwellers but an economical center
to develop agricultural activities.
A unique possibility to understand more
about the villa from its origin to recent times,
is offered through the exhibit, “Andrea
Palladio e la Villa Veneta” (Andrea Palladio
and the Veneto Villa), housed in Palazzo
Barbaran da Porto, one of the palaces in
downtown Vicenza that was been entirely
remodeled by Palladio.
The palace itself is worth a visit. Used as a
Scale model of Villa Capra called Story and photos by Laura Kreider residence for the Vicentino aristocrat Montano
‘La Rotonda’ on view at the exhibit Outlook Staff Barbarano, the palace, remodeled between
1570 –75, shows some of the architectural
elements used by Palladio who had to combine preexisting structures into a unified building.
The architect was not new at designing elaborate projects that included ancient buildings as he previously did with the
example of the Basilica Palladiana in the Piazza dei Signori.
After entering the four-columned atrium, visitors start the exhibit going through an introduction about the villa during
the Roman and Medieval period, and there are several items on display such as mosaics, old manuscripts and statues.
The main portion of the exhibit is located on the first floor in the main room. Here, visitors will see the Palladian
production through original drawings, paintings and modern wooden scale models.
While the architectural drawings, maps and the models inform about the shape and the concept of the villa, the surrounding
paintings on display narrate the lifestyle at the villa.
“Above all a culture which saw country life as less stressful and healthier than that in the city, and more conducive to the
peace of the soul and the activities of the mind,” is what the International Center of Studies of Architecture Andrea Palladio
(CISA) President of the Advisory Committee, Howard Burns, wrote in his introduction to the exhibition. The working
group who prepared the exhibit is formed of archivists, social and economic historians, as well as art and architecture
historians. The group worked for many years researching the material and contacting the museums to organize the event.
“First, we identified, in the main European museums from the National Gallery in London to the Louvre in Paris and
several German museums, all the works of this past history of the villa,” said Guido Beltramini director of CISA .
“We tried to receive not only the drawings of the architects who planned these villas, starting with Palladio, whose
drawings have been in London since 1600, but also paintings and other outstanding pieces, such as the wonderful wooden
model of Villa Pisani in Stra, a sort of Versailles in the Veneto, that has never been built according to this model.”

Go fflly a kite!
kite!
Despite gloomy weather, about 75
community children and their parents
participated in the first Kite Fest that took
place at the Villaggio Baseball Field April
9 from 10 a.m. to about noon. The event
was sponsored by Youth Sports with the
assistance of Master kite maker and flier
Davide Bergen.
“The parent and child turnout was
excellent,” said Yvonne Lanier, Youth
Sports clinician. “The event was open
to children of all ages. They were lined
up waiting for the event to begin.”
First, the children participated in a
workshop where they were able to
design their own kite, assemble it, and
fly it. They were also able to fly various
demonstration kites that soared through
the air at great heights, according to
Lanier. Participants were able to keep
their kites to fly on another good windy
day.
“The kite fest was a great success with
many asking when the next one would
be,” Lanier said. (Photo by Laura Kreider,
