# Exterior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PALLADIO, Andrea]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The design of the façade facing the street incorporates engaged Ionic half-columns, fashioned from blocks of stone. A thick web of openings transforms the loggia onto the street into a sort of diaphragm transparent to the light. The entire edifice seems to be strapped by continuous bands of stone, from the plinth of engaged columns to the entablature, right up to the band corresponding to the upper frieze, where the small unframed windows of the granary open.
