 his two visits (1604 and 1614) must have 

 passed by Caprarola and also visited the 

 Farnesian gardens on the Palatine. His 

 devotion to Palladio would take him down 

 the Brenta and possibly out to the Barbaro 

 Villa at Maser, in the region of Treviso.

 him in some flattering discussion of 

 building and garden affairs. In the early 

 years of 1700 Lord Burlington made his 

 famous tour with " Inigo Jones " in one hand 

 and " Palladio " in the other. He brought 

 to England many original drawings of Palladio
