The exhibition traces the history of the Great Renaissance architect’s ties with Venice.
It is part of Palladio’s 500th birthday anniversary and on view are over 300 works - prints, manuscripts, documents and drawings - that offer a view of the Venice environment in Palladio’s time and during his activity in the city.

Special attention is paid to Palladio’s work of redesigning the unique and symbolic Venetian urban scene of St.Mark’s Basin, with its facade of San Giorgio Maggiore, the votive Church of the Redentore on the island of Giudecca, and the Zitelle Complex, producing a breathtaking result of extraordinary innovative force.

The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Marciana National Library and the University of Venice (IUAV) and offers a compelling multimedia section.

Open from 2nd November 2009  to 10th January 2010
