NOTES: This sketch was made by Sir Charles Barry while touring Italy, Sicily, Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt with John Lewis Wolfe between 1817 and 1820 (for Wolfe's view of the same building see RIBA66526). The villa was already inhabited in 1569 but still incomplete. It was finished by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1606 to Palladio's original design.
