Palazzo Barbaran Da Porto is a ''palazzo'' in Vicenza, Italy designed in 1569 and built between 1570 and 1575 by Andrea Palladio. Since 1994 the palace is part of the "City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto" World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In the palace is located the ''Museo Palladio'' and the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio (CISA). == History == The sumptuous residence realised between 1570 and 1575 for the Vicentine noble Montano Barbarano is the only great city palace that Andrea Palladio succeeded in executing in its entirety. In his ''History of Vicenza'' of 1591, Iacopo Marzari records Montano Barbarano as a man “of belles lettres and most excellent musician”. Various flutes figure in the 1592 inventory of the palace, confirming the existence of an intensive musical activity there. At least three different autograph projects survive, preserved in London, which document alternative hypotheses for the building’s plan, all quite different from the actual one and testimony to a complex design process. Barbarano, in fact, requested Palladio to respect the existence of various houses belonging to the family and already existing on the area of the new palace. Moreover, once the project was finalised Barbarano acquired a further house adjoining the property, which resulted in the asymmetrical positioning of the entrance portal. In any case, the constraints imposed by the site and by a practical patron became the occasion for courageous and refined solutions: Palladio’s intervention is magisterial, elaborating upon a sophisticated project for “restructuring” which blended the diverse pre-existing structures into a unified edifice. In 1998, after a twenty-year restoration, the Palace has been opened to the public.〔http://www.vicenzanews.it/a_306_IT_648_1.html〕 The exhibition activities began in March 1999. 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「Palazzo Barbaran da Porto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
