Villa Valmarana Scagliolari Zen
Lisiera di Bolzano Vicentino Vicenza (c. 1563)

The villa we see today is very different from that designed by Palladio for Gianfrancesco Valmarana around 1563. An idea of Palladio’s original plan can be seen in an engraving in the Quattro Libri (the Four Books on Architecture was an influential treatise). This shows a building with loggias on two floors, enclosed by small towers on both fronts. The drawing however displays more uncertainties and inexactitudes than would normally be found elsewhere.
