An exhibition celebrating the work of the renowned Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Organized in association with the Embassy of Italy, the Italian Cultural Institute and Dublin City Council, and featuring arresting photographs of some of Palladio’s most significant buildings by the renowned Italian photographer Pino Guidolotti, the exhibition explores the origins of Palladianism in the Veneto. Also on display are a rare original copy of Daniele Barabaro’s 1567 edition of Vitruvius’s De Architectura, illustrated by Palladio, a 1742 edition of Giacomo Leoni’s of Palladio’s Four Books of the Architecture once owned by the architect James Gandon, and a facsimile of the Four Books of the Architecture.
