The facade of San Francesco della Vigna
The monastery church of San Giorgio Maggiore

A superb series- thank you. You have managed to pull off the near impossible by presenting a fully informed and fascinating subject with wit and humanity- I loved it. A suggestion for the future if you haven't already tacked it would be Byzantium; the political and cultural significance of the New Rome being outlived by the new New Rome of Venice, which plundered much of the treasure of Constantinople, is intriguing and might even have echoes in some of the architectural features of the Serenissima.

Thanks for all the episodes guys. Just two question.
1)What do you think were the values that Palladio held important as an architect? E.g. Beauty, practicality, etc.
2) were these values commonly shared by his fellow architects during that time?

those would be the 3 Vitruvian principals of architecture
Firmitas (Firmness, Durability) - It should stand up robustly and remain in good condition.
Utilitas (Commodity, Utility) - It should be useful and function well for the people using it.
Venustas (Delight, Beauty) - It should delight people and raise their spirits

Thank you for this series, coincidentally with my interest in Palladio of recently. I would love a series covering the École des Beaux-Arts academy.
