All that Palladio learned from Vitruvius and from two later trips to Rome in the 1540s became the basis of the most influential books on architecture ever written, his QuattroLibri dell'Architettura, published in Venice in 1570.
Sponsored by the RIBA Trust and the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio in Vicenza, the show also features handsome new models and some of the earliest publications of Palladio's work from the RIBA's and the Morgan's collections, including Lord Burlington's own copy of the QuattroLibri.
