Vincenzo Scamozzi
Venetian architect and writer
Years: 1548 - 1616
Vincenzo Scamozzi (September 2, 1548 – August 7, 1616) is a Venetian architect and a writer on architecture, active mainly in Vicenza and Republic of Venice area in the second half of the 16th century.
He is perhaps the most important figure there between Andrea Palladio, whose unfinished projects he inherits at Palladio's death in 1580, and Baldassarre Longhena, Scamozzi's only pupil.
The great public project of Palladio's that Scamozzi inherita early in the process of construction is the Teatro Olimpico at Vicenza, which Palladio had designed in the last months of his life.
