The writer investigates Palladio's architectonic arrangement of the area around his Villa Rotonda (Villa Almergio-Capra) as an agricultural microcosm. He analyzes the relation of the villa to its surroundings in the context of the so-called ideal place, as developed in the literature, land surveying, and architecture of antiquity. The tradition of the ideal place was often taken up in the Renaissance and in Palladio's intellectual circle, and had a marked influence on Palladio's conception of the Rotonda and on his own writing on the building.
