Villa Trissino is an incomplete aristocratic villa designed by Andrea Palladio, situated in the hamlet of Meledo in the ''comune'' of Sarego in the Veneto. It was intended for the brothers Ludovico and Francesco Trissino. It is not to be confused with Villa Trissino at Cricoli, which is 20 km away, just outside Vicenza. ==Details of the project as published by Palladio== Palladio included the project in book two of ''The Four Books of Architecture'', published in Venice in 1570. In the ''Quattro Libri'', Palladio affirms that he had begun the construction of a villa at Meledo for the brothers Ludovico and Francesco Trissino, ranking figures in the aristocracy of Vicenza and Palladio’s patrons not only at Meledo but also at their city palace in the Contra’ Riale (1558) and at a small suburban casino. Palladio refers to the building as having been begun, and praises the site which includes a small hill. However, it is debatable how much of the multi-level design illustrated in the book was constructed - probably only a small part of the design was ever attempted.〔(CISA A. Palladio 2008 )〕 This did not prevent the plan from being influential: Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia shows some similarities to it. A number of Palladian villas differ from the illustrations in the "Four Books of Architecture". For example, at Villa Saraceno there is a Palladian house, but not the wings of the design published in 1570, and Villa Serego is also incomplete. At Villa Trissino, the twenty-first century visitor will find no Palladian house, only the start of the two extending wings can be seen. There is also a small rusticated gateway which recalls the Villa Serego. The treatise engraving restores to us a view of an imposing structure, arranged on several levels, obviously inspired by the disposition of ancient Roman acropolis complexes. It is not possible to affirm whether this project had any practical outcome. On the other hand, evident traces of the beginning of the a Palladian project do exist in the imposing stone foundations of buildings along the river and in the two barchesse with Tuscan columns of fine workmanship. The most economic hypothesis would be that a project by Palladio existed for the Villa Trissino, although not necessarily identical to that presented in the ''Quattro Libri''. The latter seems rather to be the development of a theoretical scheme hypothetically conceived for the real site of Meledo.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Villa Trissino (Meledo di Sarego)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
