The story of Anndrea
Andrea Palladio, a stonemason's apprentice from Padua who became the most influential architect of the Italian Renaissance, published his Four Books of Architecture in 1570, and its temple-fronted villas were copied across England and colonial America; Thomas Jefferson called the book his bible and built Monticello on its principles. In English Andrea became a woman's name in the twentieth century. Anndrea, with its doubled n, may be simply Andrea spelled differently or Ann joined to Drea; nothing records which.
