Giacomo Gatti’s documentary Palladio is the clear and refined history of one of Italy’s greatest architectural minds. The film is raw and uninhibited, much like the style of the Venetian Renaissance architect. The documentary is narrated through episodes and dialogues that take place simultaneously in different contexts, but where the common thread is always him: Palladio. His classic style, often considered socially revolutionary, has been studied for years and imitated the world over.
