n 1545 Palladio won the right to restructure the City Hall in the XIII. Palazzo della Radzhone (now - Basilica of Palladio, 1546-1549) in Vicenza. In this building formed one of the main features of the creative method of Palladio - it creates a new system of proportions of the warrants, using a warrant is not as simple facade decoration, but as the chief organizing principle of the design, because of what it has become clear, it seems simple and clearly organized, harmonious.
After carefully studying the «Ten Books on Architecture» Vitruviya and develop his idea of the house with atrium and peristyle, the architect has created a new type of urban palace - palace. Early palazzo in Vicenza (palazzo Tien, 1550-1551; Izeppo da Porto, 1552; Valmarano, 1566) is still close in the Florentine palazzo XV. In Kerikati palazzo, begun in 1550 he, joined by features of the small palace and public buildings, elements of the loggia and palazzo. Two tiers of large Doric columns in the first floor in the second and Ionian surrounded by galleries enfilade rooms with a large central hall on the second floor, issued a wall on the facade. Thanks to a deep balcony in the first and second floors of the facade wall and the sound volume becomes tectonics.
In the design of facades of a number of villas and town houses are often used Palladio large order (Kerikati palazzo in Vicenza, 1550). Huge columns rise to stilobatah (stone slabs) - conventional, as in the Palazzo Valmarana (launched in 1566) and the remaining Loggias del Captain (1571), or very high, absorbing the entire first floor of Palazzo Tien (1556).
