Andrea Palladio ( November 30, 1508 – August 19, 1580) was an Italian Architect, widely considered the most influential Baldassarre Longhena (1598 &ndash February 18 1682) was a 17th century Architect, who worked mainly in Venice, where he was one of the greatest

Scamozzi was born in Vicenza. His father was the surveyor and building contractor Gian Domenico Scamozzi; he was Scamozzi's first teacher, imbuing him with the principles of Sebastiano Serlio.

It was published with woodcut illustrations at Venice in 1615. Scamozzi depended for sections of his treatment of Vitruvius to Daniele Barbaro's commentary, published in 1556 with illustrations by Palladio;[2] he also discussed issues of building practice. Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (born c 80–70 BC died after c 15 BC was a Roman Writer, Architect and Engineer (possibly praefectus fabrum Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (also Barbarus) ( February 8, 1514 -1570 was an Italian translator of and commentator on Vitruvius Such treatises were becoming a vehicle for self-promotion, and Scamozzi included many of his own plans and elevations, as built, as they should have been built, and as idealized projects. Scamozzi knew the value of publicity distributed through the established channels of the book trade.

Previously, his first book had been a quickly cobbled together illustrated commentary on the ruins of Rome, assembled in "the space of a few of days," according to his preface, and the woodcut images were stock productions that already existed. Over half were copied from a volume by Hieronymus Cock that appeared in the 1550s.

His major book came out too late to influence his own success; he died the following year. Scamozzi's practice is as much the source of the neo-Palladian architecture that was introduced by Inigo Jones as Andrea Palladio's own example.
