Abstract

Andrea Palladio's villa architecture is still admired for its elegance and harmony, but little is known about the person behind the buildings. Experienced Palladio researcher Guido Beltramini has worked meticulously on material from historical documents about Palladio's person and life, and assembled a full picture of the architect. Palladio in Private follows his career, his rise from being the ordinary miller's son Pietro della Gondola to become the architect Andrea Palladio. Beltramini does not just explore Palladio's origins, his training as a stonemason, and his complex relationship with powerful clients and scholars, but also his private life: his jovial character, his life as a married man with five children, and not least his profound conviction that architecture can and must enrich life. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations.

Abstract

Visiting the villas built by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), one inevitably asks oneself how people lived there in the sixteenth century. Palladio articulated the villas as "small towns" (piccole città) that formed a unit with adjacent service buildings and farm fields. Within their walls lived a multitude of people of all ages, social backgrounds and various skills. They were the venue for significant moments of public life. In these houses, the principles of hygiene, privacy and comfort, which we consider essential today, did not apply; furniture as such, did not exist. Living with Palladio in the Sixteenth Century investigates how Palladio's houses, their floors, rooms and measurements are designed to structure the life of such a heterogeneous family of people. It analyzes their hierarchical structure with the owner (padrone) at the top and everyone involved in the everyday running of the household (famiglia minuta) at the bottom. This book fills a decisive gap in research literature on the famous Italian architect by looking at how Palladio prioritized the domestic functions of his private buildings.

Abstract

À l'occasion de restaurations récentes -2008- de nombreux édifices palladiens ont retrouvé leur ancienne splendeur. Une campagne photographique inédite rend hommage à l'architecte vénitien (1508-1580). Le volume adopte un point de vue thématique qui le distingue d'autres publications existantes. L'auteur, Fernando Rigon, grand spécialiste italien de Palladio, a choisi en effet de mettre l'accent sur l'analyse de certains aspects architecturaux et décoratifs, afin de mettre en évidence le rapport entre l'architecture et son contexte (la campagne ou la ville), entre les exigences de représentation et la fonction, entre la destination publique et la destination privée. Un chapitre entier est en outre consacré à l'architecture religieuse, représentée par les deux églises de Venise (San Giorgio Maggiore et Il Rdentore) et par la chapelle de la Villa Badoer, le « Tempietto ». Le grand format de ce livre permet de mettre en valeur les très belles photographies totalement exclusives et inédites réservées à cette édition.
