Inscription.  Palazzo Thiene Bonin Longare
Vi sono piω dubbi che certezze intorno al palazzo che Francesco Thiene costrui all'estremitΰ ovest dell'attuale corso Palladio, a cominciare dalla sua esatta data di costruzione. Alla morte di Palladio l'edificio non θ ancora realizzato. Da un documento del 1586 risulta quanto meno iniziato il cantiere e sicuramente nel 1593, alla morte di Francesco Thiene, il palazzo θ costruito per almeno terzo. Enea Thiene, che eredita i beni di suo zio Francesco, porta a conclusione la fabbrica, probabilmente entro il primo decennio del Seicento. Il palazzo sarΰ acquistato nel 1835 da Lelio Bonin Longare. Nel suo trattato L'idea della architettura universale (edito a Venezia nel 1615), Vincenzo Scamozzi scrive di aver portato a compimento il cantiere del palazzo, senza perς precisare l'entitΰ del suo intervento.

with the exact date of its construction. At Palladio's death the building had still not been executed. A document dated 1586 suggests that construction had finally begun, and it is certain that by 1593, upon the death of patron Francesco Thiene, at least a third of the palace had been built. Enea Thiene, who inherited the estate of his uncle Francesco, carried works to their conclusion, probably within the first decade of the seventeenth century. In 1835 the palace was acquired by Lelio Bonin Longare. In his treatise L'Idea della Architettura Universale (published in Venice in 1615), Vincenzo Scamozzi writes that he was responsible for completing the building's construction without specifying, however, the nature and extent of his work.
