. Palladio, influenced by
Roman
and
Greek architecture
, primarily by
Vitruvius
, is widely considered to be the most influential individual in the
history of architecture
. All of his buildings are located in what was the Venetian Republic, but his teachings, summarized in the architectural treatise,

, gained him wide recognition. The city of

and the
Palladian Villas of the Veneto
