Andrea Palladio's Villa Cornaro, completed in 1554, redefined architectural design with its extensive use of pediments and porticos. Situated in Piombino Dese, about 30 km northwest of Venice, Italy, the villa was a testament to Palladio's innovative approach. The influence of Palladio's work in the villa can be seen in many buildings worldwide, including Marble Hill House in Twickenham, London and Drayton Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, in the US.
