Villa Forni Cerato

Jump the contents and go to the summary
Villa Forni Cerato, like the Casa Cogollo, represents a prime example of Palladio’s altering a pre-existing building using relatively modest means to construct a significant piece of work. It is quite possible that the stark minimalism of this building coincided with the middle class status and pocket of the owner. The villa is the result of the restructuring of a pre-existing “old house” and, if anything, opinion should be reversed to recognise the genius of Palladio in working within situational limits to still produce expressive works.
