After dashing for three blocks through a howling, late-summer storm, I found myself face to face with the house that arguably has had a broader, more lasting influence on American residential architecture than any other single building: the Villa Cornaro, built beginning in 1553 and designed by Andrea Palladio, who was born in Padua exactly 500 years ago today.<img src="http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/latimes/europe/~4/470053507" height="1" width="1"/> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/europe/la-ca-palladio30-2008nov30,0,1471773.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/latimes/europe/~3/469539627/la-fg-hardtimes30-2008nov30,0,5670697.story Their first economic slump is a shock for many young people.
