alberty August 7th, 2004, 03:33 PM La Rotonda is situated atop a hill in suburban Vicenza. Its four facades look out upon cultivated fields on three sides and a wooded slope on the fourth.
The central dome, one of Palladio's most famous and imitated motifs, was itself inspired by the Pantheon of ancient Rome.
History
Paolo Almerico, a papal prelate, commissioned Villa Rotonda in 1566 upon his return to Vicenza after a long residence in Rome. Palladio's protege Vincenzo Scamozzi oversaw completion of the structure following Palladio's death in 1580.
The villa was acquired and restored to its present condition in the 20th century by the Valmarana family of Venice

Palladio who took his name from Pallas-Athena was a classical genius.
La Rotonda is sheer brilliance and a model for many later 'Palladian' style buildings throughout the world.
