Villa Godi’s construction work at Lonedo di Lugo Vicentino comes to an end. Palladio’s first large villa has an antiquated planimetry and it’s still similar to a traditional countryside palace in Veneto.His first project commissioned by the venetian nobility was Villa Pisani in Bagnolo. It was destined to become a prototype. Similarly to Raffaello’s Villa Madama in Rome, it stands on foundations that resemble a temple’s stylobate, which include the service areas. The main hall, A TUTTA ALTEZZA is covered by an arch shaped wall which is richly decorated and illuminated by a Diocletian window. It’s part of an antique floorplan, but it’s innovative in comparison to pre palladian main halls.
