NOTES: This sketch was made by Wolfe while touring Italy, Sicily, Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt with Sir Charles Barry between 1817 and 1820 (for Barry's view of the same building see RIBA12848). The villa was already inhabited in 1569 but still incomplete. It was finished by Vincenzo Scamozzi in 1606 to Palladio's original design.
