Corso Andrea Palladio (lato nord) angolo Piazza Castello
The long construction history of Francesco and Enea Thiene's palace began in about 34 and continued until the 18th century.
Palladio's presence is universally accepted in an initial phase of construction, but this was then completed by Vincenzo Scamozzi.
In 1593, thirteen years after Palladio's death, the building was still regarded as "unfinished".
The façade on the main street shows two floors and an attic. The first is dominated by eight Corinthian semi-columns and light rustication. The second repeats the Corinthian semi-columns and has seven windows with capitals and alternating gables.
On the piano nobile of the façade facing the court, as Remo Schiavo has noted, "the aerial loggia opens into a perfect arc", and looks onto the garden. The side overlooking Piazza Castello reveals the stamp of Scamozzi.
Decorations and frescoes by Paolo Guidolini and Giacomo Chiesa are preserved in the interior. |
