1. Palazzo Barbarano / Barbarano Palace Marker
La fastosa residenza realizzata fra il 1569 e il 1575 per il nobile vicentino Montano Barbarano θ il solo grande palazzo di cittΰ che Andrea Palladio riuscμ a realizzare integralmente. Il Barbarano chiede a Palladio di tener conto dell'esistenza di diverse case appartenenti alla sua famiglia giΰ presenti sull'area del nuovo palazzo e, a progetto giΰ definito, acquista un'ulteriore casa adiacente, col risultato di rendere asimmetrica la posizione del portone d'ingresso. In ogni caso i vincoli posti dal sito da un committente esigente, diventano occasione di soluzioni coraggiose e raffinate: l'intervento palladiano θ magistrale, elaborando un sofisticato progetto di "ristrutturazione" che le fonde le diverse preesistenze in un edificio unitario. Al pianterreno, un magnifico atrio a quattro colonne salda insieme le due unitΰ edilizie. Nel realizzarlo Palladio risolve due problemi: quello statico di sostenere il pavimento del grande salone al piano nobile, e quello compositivo di restituire un'apparenza simmetrica a un ambiente penalizzato dall'andamento sghembo dei muri perimetrali

Barbarano Palace or Barbaran da Porto Palace
This magnificent residence, created in the period 1569-1575 for the Vicentine nobleman Montano Barbarano, is the only large urban palazzo that Andrea Palladio ever fully completed. Barbarano asked Palladio to consider the possible inclusion of various houses belonging to his family which already existed at the site of the new building and, following completion of the yet another adjacent house, which eventually resulted in the asymmetric positioning of the entrance drawings, purchased portal. In any case, constraints imposed by the site itself and also by his demanding client induced Palladio to adopt a number of rather 'courageous' and refined solutions. The architect's masterful work this site is a sophisticated 'restructuring' project that merged various pre-existing buildings into a single complex. On the ground floor, a magnificent four-columned atrium welds together the two pre-existing buildings. For this purpose Palladio solved two problems: supporting the floor of the great hall on the piano nobile and restoring a symmetrical appearance to the atrium conditioned by the oblique course
