“The site is as pleasant & delightful as can be found, because it is upon a small hill of very easy access, & is watered on one sie by the Bacchiglione, a navigable river; & on the other it is encompassed about with most pleasant risings, which look like a very great theatre & are all cultivated about with most excellent fruits & more exquisite vines; &, therefore, as it enjoys from every part most beautiful views, some of which are limited, some more extended, & others which terminate with the horizon; there are loggias made in all, four fronts.�

Beauty will result from the form and the correspondence of the whole, with respect to the several parts, of the parts with regard to each other, and of these again to the whole; that the structure may appear an entire and complete body, wherein each member agrees with the other, and all necessary to compose what you intend to form.
