Palladio’s city is the city of palaces but it is also the city of villas open to the productive countryside ennobled by their presence and it is the city of large lagoon spaces, first and foremost the basin of San Marco where the monumental front of San Giorgio Maggiore overlooks and establishes relations. Palladio has an idea of a city extraordinarily advanced with respect to his time. A city that takes shape from architecture, from its monumental forms that highlight its theatricality. Each building is understood in this more general program and is built upon it.
