The Teatro Olimpico (1580-1585) or the "Olimpico" the way we call it in Vicenza, is the last work by Palladio, and ranks amongst his highest masterworks, the first permanent indoor theatre ever build, with the onstage scenery, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi to give the appearance of long streets receding to a distant horizon, was installed in 1585 for the first performance, and is the oldest surviving stage set still in existence.
Giovanni Giaconi is the author of "The Villas of Palladio" published by Princeton Architectural Press. New York 2003, and "Andrea Palladio: acquerelli di Giovanni Giaconi" published by Dolp. Vicenza 2009.

...ABOUT THE ARTIST...
TRADITIONAL HOME, September 2005:
For armchair travelers, try Italian watercolorist Giovanni Giaconi's beautifully illustrated The Villas of Palladio, which includes American architect Kim Williams' brief descriptions of each villa.
INTERIOR DESIGN, October 2003:
"Sometimes drawings are more informative than photographs. This is certainly true for Palladian facades, where proportions and planar relationships merit exact study."
ARCHITECTURAL RECORD, September 2003:
"...carefully scaled, meticulously detailed, lovingly colored...the watercolors form a wonderful historical record of the villas' condition today...Giaconi brings a fluid grace to his subject, perhaps acquired while riding the surf."
If you have any questions please get in touch with me. I will be happy to help!
Thank you,
Giovanni
