You are correct!!


Answer: Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) was the Italian Renaissance architect most famous for the villas he designed in and around Vicenza and two large churches in Venice. Palladio blended elements of classical architecture, particularly the orders, to create harmonious buildings and was so successful that he became the foremost architect in northern Italy. His designs, patterns, and motifs caught the attention of architects elsewhere in Italy and abroad as his four books on architecture made him one of the most influential figures in Western architecture.
