We will discuss his life and his work in architecture as it is important to know the culture behind Italy’s famous buildings.
Andrea Palladio was born November 30, 1508 in the region of Veneto, Italy where he was an apprentice, a student or assistant, to a sculptor until he was 16. When he finished his apprenticeship, he moved to Vicenza and was part of a guild of stonemasons and bricklayers. He was then employed as a mason, a builder of stone, who specialized in decorative sculptures in the style of the Mannerist architect Michele Sanmicheli (Richardson). It appears that he was interested in architecture since he was very young.
