Joseph Losey would have found it difficult to find a more evocative setting for his Don Giovanni. Palladio's commission from Paolo Almerico in 1567 was of profound significance: here was an opportunity to build something solely on aesthetic principles, in the name of beauty and elegance with no regard for functionality. Unfortunately, this never happened since both the buyer and the architect died of old age before the project was completed. Scamozzi eventually finished the building, for the new buyer: Odorico Capra. It now has four identical Ionic façades, while inside there is a variety of different styles. Whether you like Palladio's design or not, the Rotonda is a visual work of art.
