Corso Andrea Palladio, 167
This small building, which is popularly known as Palladio's home but where he never actually lived, is attributed to him by the designs he made between 1560 and 1570 for the notary Pietro Cogollo.
Three floors are visible on the facade. The lower floor is dominated by a serlian window, Ionic columns and two Victories at each side of the arch, while the piano nobile is defined by two windows and two Corinthian pilaster strips. The central surface, and that of the attic, was once decorated with frescoes by Gian Antonio Fasolo. Remo Schiavo emphasises that, on the tripartite facade, "one notes the gradual overhang on each floor: strong and vibrant on the ground floor where the arch with the two apertures from a perfect serlian, lighter on the piano nobile and completely absent from the upper part".
