The lecture, on Renaissance Italian Villas and their Afterlives, will be presented by Kathleen Olive. Kathleen studied in Italy and has taught Italian language, literature and history at the University of Sydney. She now works for Academy Travel, leading tours to Italy.
Andrea Palladio, the Italian architect, theorised that beauty results "from the form and correspondence of the whole." Since Antiquity Italian villas and their gardens have been designed harmoniously. They have also provided spaces for architectural innovation, aesthetic appreciation and relaxation in some of the most picturesque locations imaginable!
The hour-long lecture is followed by a light supper.
