deserves to beimitated. Yet here alsothe main cornice is too insignificant, 
and the upper windows are too low. 
4, Toe Patazzo Sora in Parone iv Rome was built by Bramante in 
1505. Its facade (jig. 6) is well massed, but the windows of the second 
story have three-cornered and round pediments, to which the under cor- 
nices offer an unfavorable contrast. The columned court of this palace is 
very beautiful. 
Tue Pauazzo pet Te 1w Mantua, of which pl. 57 a 9, shows the ground 
plan, was begun about 1520 by Ginlio Pippi, known as Giulio Romano. 
The name is derived probably, not from any resemblance to the letter 
T, which does not exist, but from an abbreviation of the word Tejetta 
(drainage), for the palace stands upon a ground drained by water furrows. 
The principal ground plan forms an exact square of 180 feet side, and 
incloses a court of 120 feet side. This court has two entrances, the princi- 
pal one, consisting of a great gate with an arch in rustication, leading into 
a vestibule ornamented with columns, while the other, which is located at 
one of the sides, has three arches built in the same taste. The facades of 
the palace, both in front and rear, consist of an order of Doric pilasters, 
coupled at the corners. The panels with rustication in the lower story are 
interrupted by window openings which relieve the heaviness. The facades 
are surmounted by a Doric entablature with triglyphs and metopes. From 
the court, where instead of pilasters is an order of coupled wall columns, a 
loggia leads into the garden. The facade of this side represents a peristyle 
of 12 columns, two deep and coupled. The centre intercolumniation com- 
municates with a bridge which separates two water basins. Beyond this 
is a parterre with greenhouses and household buildings. The garden 
terminates in a large semicircle. The length of the whole estate is 550 
feet. The interior of the building is arranged in a masterly manner, and 
decorated with paintings by Giulio Romano and his pupils. 
6. Toe Patazzo Saccuertt in Rome (originally called Casa San Gallo) 
was designed and built by San Gallo (died 1546) for himself, in the year 
1530. Pl. 52, fig. 7, represents its facade. It is 111 feet broad and has a 
very beautiful door. The windows are four feet broad and are placed 9 
feet, 3inches apart. Those of the first story are unfortunately a foot narrower 
above than below. The main cornice is 3 feet in height and of the same 
projection, and is to the height of the building as 1:17. The rectangular 
court is surrounded by arcades beneath, resting upon imposts between 
which stand Tuscan pilasters. 
7. Tae Patazzo Paoto Iw Rome (jig. 5) was built by Torriani, a pupil 
of San Gallo, with a handsome door and otherwise of good proportions, 
although the middle windows, from the varying width of the piers, fail to 
make an agreeable impression. 
8. Tae Viria Menicr iv Rome, at present the French Academy, built by 
Alessandro Lippi, about 1551, is a well proportioned building. The width 
of the piers between the windows, the upper of which are, however, a little 
too low, as well as the pure and bold profile of the girth and main cornices, 
whose height and projection are equal to one seventeenth of the height of
