Villa Trissino, Cricoli 1535

Villa Trissino, designed by Andrea Palladio in 1535, showcases the architect's early mastery of the Palladian style. The symmetrical facade, with its elegant proportions and restrained ornamentation, typifies the principles of classical architecture that Palladio would later popularize in his influential treatise, "The Four Books of Architecture." The villa's rusticated base, its rhythmic arrangement of windows, and the prominent central loggia, all speak to the classical ideals of balance and harmony that informed Palladio's work.
