The White House. Chiswick House. Monticello. Three buildings that shaped how three empires pictured power — and none of them are American, none of them are British. Their true origin sits in a handful of fields between Vicenza and Treviso, designed by a stonecutter who never once needed to leave Italy.
This documentary follows Andrea Palladio’s entire career, villa by villa — from an anonymous commission to his final, unfinished masterpiece — covering all 24 UNESCO-listed villas of “The City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto” World Heritage Site.
