Palladio Museum, Barbarano Palace, Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, Europe
Palazzo Barbaran Da Porto is a palazzo in Vicenza, Italy designed in 1569 and built between 1570 and 1575 by Andrea Palladio. Since 1994 the palace is part of the City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In the palace is located the Palladio Museum and the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio (CISA). The sumptuous residence realised between 1570 and 1575 for the Vicentine noble Montano Barbarano is the only great city palace that Andrea Palladio succeeded in executing in its entirety. In his History of Vicenza of 1591, Iacopo Marzari records Montano Barbarano as a man “of belles lettres and most excellent musician”. Various flutes figure in the 1592 inventory of the palace, confirming the existence of an intensive musical activity there.
At least three different autograph projects survive, preserved in London, which document alternative hypotheses for the building’s plan, all quite different from the actual one and testimony to a complex design process. Barbarano, in fact, requested Palladio to respect the existence of various houses belonging to the family and already existing on the area of the new palace. Moreover, once the project was finalised Barbarano acquired a further house adjoining the property, which resulted in the asymmetrical positioning of the entrance portal. In any case, the constraints imposed by the site and by a practical patron became the occasion for courageous and refined solutions: Palladio’s intervention is magisterial, elaborating upon a sophisticated project for “restructuring” which blended the diverse pre-existing structures into a unified edifice. In 1998, after a twenty-year restoration, the Palace has been opened to the public. The exhibition activities began in March 1999. On the ground floor, a magnificent four-columned atrium welds together the two pre-existing building lots. In realising the scheme, Palladio was called upon to resolve two problems: one statical, how to support the floor of the great hall on the piano nobile; the other compositional, how to restore a symmetrical appearance to interiors compromised by the oblique course of the perimeter walls from the pre-existing houses. Departing from the model of the wings of the Theatre of Marcellus in Rome, Palladio divided the interior into three aisles, placing centrally four Ionic columns which allowed the reduction of the span of the central cross-vaults, set against lateral barrel vaults. He thus achieved a very statically efficient framework capable of bearing the floor of the hall above without any difficulty. The central columns were then tied to the perimeter walls by fragments of rectilinear entablature, which absorb the irregularities of the atrium plan: in this way he realised a sort of system of “serlianas”, a stratagem conceptually similar to that of the Basilica loggias. Palladio even adopted the unusual type of Ionic capital derived from the Temple of Saturn in the Forum Romanum because it permitted him to mask the slight but significant rotations necessary to align the columns and engaged columns. To decorate the palace, in several campaigns Montano employed some of the greatest artists of his time: Giovanni Battista Zelotti (who had already intervened in the interiors of Palladio’s Villa Emo at Fanzolo), Anselmo Canera and Andrea Vicentino; the stuccoes were entrusted to Lorenzo Rubini (who contemporaneously executed the external decorations of the Loggia del Capitanio) and, after his death in 1574, to his son Agostino. The net result was a sumptuous palace capable of rivalling the residences of the Thiene, the Porto and of the Valmarana, a palace which permitted its patron to represent himself to the city as a ranking member of the Vicentine cultural élite.

Vicenza - Palladio Museum a Palazzo Barbarano
Palazzo Barbarano o Barbaran Da Porto è un edificio realizzato a Vicenza fra il 1570 e il 1575 dall'architetto Andrea Palladio. È attualmente la sede del Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio (CISA) e del Palladio Museum. Con il Palladio Museum gli studiosi raccolti nel Centro palladiano raccontano ad un largo pubblico le proprie ricerche nel mentre si stanno svolgendo; in particolare - ma non esclusivamente - quelle su Andrea Palladio. Gruppi di studiosi lavorano su progetti di ricerca che diventano i temi delle stanze del museo, ognuna delle quali ha tendenzialmente la durata di un anno sulla base di un programma triennale.
Non è il mausoleo di un eroe morto, è piuttosto un luogo dove far crescere una cultura dell'architettura, lontano dalle ciniche logiche della professione, che consumano saperi senza produrne di nuovi. Il Palladio Museum lavora su Palladio, ma senza attualizzarlo, e men che meno proporlo come modello formale per l'oggi. Indaga il passato con gli strumenti della filologia e attenzione ai contesti, indispensabili per cercare di comprendere un mondo sfumato e lontano, e al tempo stesso vicinissimo e molto concreto, ogni volta che camminiamo fra palazzi, ville o chiese costruite secoli fa. La missione del Palladio Museum è leggere alla radice temi e concetti significativi anche nel nostro presente, rappresentandoli e discutendoli con l'orizzonte di creare una piattaforma culturale per l'architettura di domani.
Finora i progetti di ricerca hanno riguardato la comunicazione, la tecnologia, il rapporto con l'economia e con il paesaggio, il disegno di organismi complessi. Essi sono temi chiave per Palladio, e sono alla base della concezione dei Quattro Libri così come dei progetti urbani, delle ville in campagna e delle chiese veneziane; al tempo stesso sono temi di una agenda contemporanea.

Places to see in ( Vicenza - Italy ) Corso Palladio
Corso Andrea Palladio is the main street in Vicenza , named after the second world war by the famous architect. About 700 meters long, it crosses the historical core of the city from west to east, respectively from Porta Castello to piazza Giacomo Matteotti. The course of the current course corresponds substantially to what, in Roman times, was the decumanus maximus of the city and, at the same time, the urban stretch of the consular Via Postumia . Also called strata major , after the construction of the early medieval city walls it was bordered to the west by the Porta Feliciana (very close, although not all coinciding with the Porta del Castello) and to the east by the Porta San Pietro (on the right bank of the Bacchiglione river, height of the bridge of St. Peter, time of the Angels).
During the Middle Ages and in modern times it retained its function as a link between the cities of the Veneto plain (respectively Verona and Padua), so that at its edges were opened inns, taverns and places for rental cars; Generally it was called Strata major , Strà grande , or simply Strà. It was also important public place. Already during the Middle Ages there were four points in which the public crier had to go to proclaim the decrees of the city government and the sentences of condemnation issued against the guilty: the door Sancti Petri , the plathea Sancte Corone , the domus illorum de Caldogno ( at the beginning of the current contrà Porti) and the canton of the red well (the intersection with the current Corso Fogazzaro)
The Course starts from the Porta Castello and from the Torrione (at No. 1) - the only remaining structures - of the mighty Castle built in 1343 by Antonio and Mastino II della Scala , who restored the Ezzelian fortress destroyed 50 years earlier, extending it into a a real castle, which occupied a square area, surrounded by deep pits, surrounded by towers at the four corners and the tower at the center. The current appearance of the Tower, with the projecting battlements with embrasures above corbels and with the addition of the lantern summit, almost certainly belongs to the Visconti period at the end of the fourteenth century
Next is Palazzo Marchi . A part of the castle, demolished in the nineteenth century, was replaced by this palace, whose high fence wall borders the course. The entrance, at the center of the wall, is given by an arched portal with a round arch, with a female head in an arch and crowned by a triangular tympanum with two reclining female figures holding a cartouche in the pediment
On the opposite corner of the square, at no. 13, there is the Palazzo Thiene Bonin Longare , the Vicenza headquarters of Confindustria , which has promoted its restoration. The palace, which Francesco Thiene had built on the family property, was designed by Andrea Palladio presumably in 1572 and built by Vincenzo Scamozzi after the death of the master; it was bought in 1835 by Lelio Bonin Longare. Since 1994 he has entered, along with other Palladian architecture in Vicenza, in the list of world heritage of ' UNESCO.The similarity with other Palladian projects - for example with Palazzo Barbaran da Porto - makes one think of the seventies of the sixteenth century, both in the design of the lower part of the facade and in the large double- order loggia overlooking the inner courtyard .
The side instead - with the ground floor covered with mild ashlar, the tall French windows on the first floor crowned with alternately triangular and curved tympanum, the little protruding balustrade balconies - is the work of Scamozzi, considering the resemblance with Palazzo Trissino al Duomo . Even the deep atrium, substantially indifferent to the order grid, could be scrapped.

Thiene Bonin Longare Palace, Vicenza, Veneto, Italy, Europe
Thiene Bonin Longare Palace is a patrician palace in Vicenza, northern Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio probably in 1572 and built after Palladio's death by Vincenzo Scamozzi. It is one of the city palazzi of the Thiene family that Palladio worked upon, the other being Palazzo Thiene in the near contrà Porti. Since 1994 the palace has formed part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site the current name of which is City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto. There are more doubts than certainties surrounding the history of the urban villa that Francesco Thiene built on family properties at the eastern extremity of the Strada Maggiore, today the Corso Palladio, beginning with the exact date of its construction. At Palladio’s death the building had still not been executed: on the Pianta Angelica of 1580, in fact, there still appear only old houses and a garden. A document of 1586 records that construction had still not begun, but certainly in 1593, on the death of the patron Francesco Thiene, the palace was at least a third built. Enea Thiene, who inherited the estate of his uncle Francesco, carried works to their conclusion, probably within the first decade of the 17th century. In 1835 the palace was acquired by Lelio Bonin Longare. In his treatise L'idea della architettura universale (published in Venice in 1615), Vincenzo Scamozzi writes that he was responsible for completing the building’s construction on the basis of a project by another architect with certain revisions to the original design. The architect that Scamozzi does not name is certainly Andrea Palladio, because two autograph sheets survive which can be referred to Francesco Thiene’s palace: on these are traced two plan variants, substantially close to the present building, as well as a sketch for the façade which is very different from that executed. It is unclear when Palladio formulated his own ideas for the palazzo, but it is credible that he did so in 1572, the year in which Francesco Thiene and his uncle Orazio divided up the family properties and the former obtained the very site where Palladio’s edifice would rise. If one analyses the realised building, various elements stand out which favour a dating to the 1570s: for example, the many points of contact with the Palazzo Barbaran da Porto, both in the design of the lower part and in the great, double-storey loggia of the courtyard. Instead, the side could be the work of Vincenzo Scamozzi, given its affinities with the Palazzo Trissino by the Duomo. The deep atrium, which is substantially indifferent to the grid of architectural orders, could also be by Scamozzi and while the rooms on its right, as one enters, clearly reuse rather irregular, pre-existing walls, those on the left are perfectly regular and evidently rise from new foundations.
