Welcome to epalladio.com
2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Andrea Palladio, arguably, considered the greatest architect of the western world. His masterful approach continues to revolutionize the course of architecture and design.
In the summer of 2008, in collaboration with the New York City based ICA (Institute of Classical Architecture) a selection of Giaconi's original watercolors will be shown in a group show traveling from Richmond, Virginia (June 26, 2008 - September 1, 2008 'Palladio and American Classicism' at the Virginia Center for Architecture) to Boston and Los Angeles.
Giovanni is currently working on a new watercolors collection of Palaces and Churches of Andrea Palladio to be included in a new monograph. More info here

Giovanni Giaconi is available for commissions and assignments.

DEPARTURES MAGAZINE - March-April, 2009:
"Inspired by a Renaissance master, Giovanni Giaconi creates exquisite architectural renderings for today...You don't have to own a villa, whether it's a castle or a town house, a country place, a city home, I can draw it." by Celia McGee.

GENTE VIAGGI - September, 2008:
"D'estate vive a Creta. Pratica e insegna windsurf alla Freak Station, è lì che l'ho conosciuto, sulla spiaggia di Kouremenos, una manciata di chilometri dalla più famosa Vai, sulla costa nordest dell'isola..." di Marco Pagani.

DCASA - La Repubblica, May 31, 2008:
"La differenza principale è che loro non hanno Palladio, perciò lo sognano proprio perche' è lontano, e spesso, devo riconoscere, lo conoscono meglio di noi italiani" di Francesca Gentile.

TRADITIONAL HOME, September 2005:
For armchair travelers, try Italian watercolorist Giovanni Giaconi's beautifully illustrated The Villas of Palladio, which includes American architect Kim Williams' brief descriptions of each villa. by Hugh Howard and Doris Athineos.

COUNTRY LIFE, November 2003:
This is a timely and beautiful book in fact it is so fine that it deserves to be called a volume. The drawings are coloured and highly finished. by Colin Amery.

INTERIOR DESIGN, October 2003:
"Sometimes drawings are more informative than photographs. This is certainly true for Palladian facades, where proportions and planar relationships merit exact study. "

ARCHITECTURAL RECORD, September 2003:
"...carefully scaled, meticulously detailed, lovingly colored...the watercolors form a wonderful historical record of the villas' condition today...Giaconi brings a fluid grace to his subject, perhaps acquired while riding the surf." by Clifford A. Pearson.
