Palladio and I have never really gotten along.
I always thought he was too provincial, moralistic, conservative.
I’d like to show him, the great influence he has had on a young country like America. He could definitely get a green card for artistic merit, seeing how often he’s been used as a reference across the US, including the White House. I would especially like to take him to New York, the most classical of modern places. I would dare him to find his symmetry in a world where the laws of chaos have triumphed over Euclidean geometry. I’d ask him to explain the difference between the floor and the ceiling in a world without gravity. I would question him about how an ornamental motif can come from the projection of a sofa, and how that sofa can seem like a three-dimensional decoration.
I bet his answers wouldn’t be that different from mine, in the end. After all, we’re both Italian, provincial, moralistic and conservative.
