ORIGIN OF ARCHITECTURE
Andrea Palladio A NeoClassical Background is the Starting Point Based in the Veneto region of north-east Italy, Costruzioni Dalla Verde’s inspiration comes from the principles of architectural balance expounded by Andrea Palladio, the C16th neoclassical architect renowned for his revival of a style based on ancient Greco-Roman architecture but with a strong focus on man and his personal, work and social needs.
INGENUITY, INNOVATION, SIMPLICITY The Palladian school has produced generations of architects, engineers and admirers and remains to this day the basis for university studies in architecture. Emulated and imitated the world over, Palladian architecture represents the quintessence of formal elegance. Villas and buildings designed by Palladio around 5 centuries ago continue to embellish the Veneto skyline and today more than ever attract tourists from all over the world. Andrea Palladio’s works have made Vicenza one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites with the largest number of protected monuments.

How We Do It Marble and stone from Vicenza
S
tonemasonry is a noble art that has existed in the Vicenza territory since Ancient Roman times.
The splendid buildings, villas and the magnificent Basilica built by Andrea Palladio have brought worldwide attention to this noble craft. A light coloured stone, suitable for sculpting, is mined from the quarry in the Berici Hills, whereas a more compact stone suitable for architectural structures is quarried from the local Prealps.
Decorative and inlaid floors
V
eneto traditional flooring finds its highest expression in Venetian Terrazzo. Today, it is appreciated not only for its
remarkable and unique beauty but also for its longevity. All the materials used to create this flooring arrive on site in their natural state and then every step of the process is carried out with exceptional skill by master craftsmen. The colour combinations derive from the variety of the raw material, marbles and other exotic aggregates selected from the best quarries around the world.
Italian curtains and fabrics
B
espoke curtains, furnishing fabrics, upholstery fabrics and leathers, wallpapers, rugs, household linen: the
Italian textile culture is enhanced by the best of French and English textile and hotel furnishing traditions to create extraordinary interiors. The softness of the natural texture of linen, cotton and silk, the seduction of the upholstery and curtain fabrics, and the distinctiveness created by the fusion of the textiles with the structural elements and trimmings.

How We Do It Artistic glass from Murano
C
oncentrated mainly on the Venetian island of Murano, the Veneto art of glassmaking boasts origins that are lost
in the mists of time. In about one thousand years it has become an organised production activity which is still today entrusted to the outstanding manual dexterity of master glassmakers. Understanding of the properties of molten glass, and consequently the art of glassmaking, have evolved to unprecedented levels that result in highly technological creations.
Italian leather skins and hides
T
he Italian tanning districts are world-level hubs specialised in the production of upholstery leather.
An entire production chain has grown around this hub that guarantees top grade processing quality and product safety. Top international brands commission local companies to research products and supply production batches for their creations.

D
ecorations based on covering walls with inlaid, engraved and carved wood panels are a handcraft
speciality that was already popular in C17th and C18th France. Decorative panels for walls but also for doors, wall partitions and room dividers are widely used today in more exclusive buildings. The distinctive Italian master cabinet makers produce fine furniture and inlay work, handmade items that last a lifetime.

Materials and Technology
T
echnology experts, engineers and technicians work alongside the designers with a multidisciplinary approach
to the applied aspects of materials, which are studied both from a structural point of view, and in combination with each other. The thermotechnical and acoustic studies are "invisible" activities which do however strongly influence the final well-being of a construction, and certainly do not rely on pure chance to achieve success.
