When you start reading about Venice, you will not read many pages before you stumble upon the name Palladio. You will also stumble upon hundreds of other names, as Venice through the centuries has been, and is today, a city filled with art and artist. I read the name Palladio, and I knew I had to check him out, but still it took me some time to actually figure out the genius of this man.
As soon as I did, I knew I had to find out more about this remarcable man, and not long afterwards I had planned a special Palladin tour with my friend Antonella. Antonella reads my blog, she lives not far from Venice and we usually meet when I am there.

As soon as I came home from the tour, I bought James S. Ackermans Palladio
