Palladio's Influence On American Theatre

The Teatro Olimpico, or Olympic Theatre was the last work that Andrea had designed. He actually died before he was able to complete it, so the project was finished by Vincenzo Scamozzi and Palladio’s son. What made Palladio’s theatre different from the ones that are in Rome was the fact that this theatre was indoors while the others are all outside. Although Andrea was gone, he continued to be an influence throughout the rest of the 16th century up until now.
Palladianism at first was only admired by the one person who was closest to Palladio, Vincenzo Scamozzi. Not too many other architects were trying to emulate that same style. It wasn’t until about the 18th Century when there was a surge in architects using Palladianism in their works.
