The execution of the Villa Pisani at Bagnolo from 1542 on would constitute a real turning point in young Palladio’s career. The vast agricultural estate of over 1200 fields had been Pisani property since 1523 and was dominated by the house of the previous owners, the Vicentine Nogarola family. This building was probably in some way assimilated into the new construction. The manor house was completed in 1545 and a 1562 map shows a great barchessa terminating in two dovecotes at the back of the courtyard. This building, much admired by Vasari, was later destroyed and replaced by the present 19th century structure positioned longways and quite unrelated to Palladio’s project.
