Venice, Italy – This exhibition celebrating the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth tells the story of a remarkable life and attempts to solve a mystery: how did a humble miller’s son become the most renowned world architect in the last five centuries? The story is told in unique ‘film stills’, i.e. the works brought together from over eighty European museums and libraries by an international team of scholars from Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and the United States.
