Events and news from the Palladio Museum

August 2025

In recent decades, the study of the forms, contexts and patrons of historical buildings has increasingly been accompanied by an in-depth analysis of their material reality. How are they built? With which materials and techniques? These are questions that reveal crucial aspects of Palladio's architectural personality. Brought up on building sites, he was always able to adapt traditional materials and construction techniques to his own expressive needs, inventing a "low-cost" architecture that could simulate the richness of the ancient style while making limited use of stone and precious marble.
