The Center for Palladian Studies in America, Inc.

The Center for Palladian Studies in America, Inc. (CPSA) engages in research and other activities relating to the work of architect Andrea Palladio.

[2] He designed country villas, urban palaces, churches and bridges in the Veneto region of Italy in the late Renaissance period.

Palladio's greatest impact arose from publication (Venice, 1570) of his treatise entitled I quattro libri dell'architettura (The Four Books on Architecture).

Grants have supported publication of Douglas Lewis’ The Drawings of Andrea Palladio (2nd ed., 2000) [5] and Bryan Clark Green’s In Jefferson’s Shadow: The Architecture of Thomas R. Blackburn (2006).

[6] Other grants supported creation of the Mario di Valmarana Professorship in the University of Virginia School of Architecture[7] and a National Register Report on Battersea, the important 1768 Palladian-style house in Petersburg, Virginia.
