Andrea Palladio1508-1580
• ~Andrea di Pietro della Gondola was discovered at
about the age of 30, by poet and patron, Giangiorgo Trissino, who took his
protege to Rome. There the young stonecutter took the
name Palladio, and soon became hugely popular with
local patrons, labourers, craftsmen and Venetian
nobility.
