ON THE RECEPTION OF VITRUVIAN ARCHITECTURAL THEORY IN VINCENZO SCAMOZZI ARCHITECT

This paper is a study on the reception of Vitruvius（De Architectura）of the architect, architectural theorist Vincenzo Scamozzi in Italian Renaissance. The architectural theorists of the Italian Renaissance requested the authority of the architectural thought to Vitruvius by the taste of the Humanism. Scamozzi also was belonging to such a tradition, he wrote the architectural books ''L'Idea della Architettura Universale '', while was complying with the architectural thought of Vitruvius. Therefore, in this paper we make clear the points that Scamozzi is relying on Vitruvius, that he was constructing the original thought of architecture, while deepening the architectural thought of Vitruvius
