Summary
Chapter 7 argues that the expanded version of Villa Pisani published in Palladio’s 1570 treatise belongs to the period of the villa’s ideation and construction, not to a later moment when Palladio prepared his treatise for publication. This case study suggests an alternate interpretation of the marked discrepancies between Palladio’s works as built and as published: rather than idealizations, they can be understood as future possibilities.
