The book is the first to trace the complete process of creating important buildings, from the earliest conception in the minds of the patrons—the Venetian state or other institutional patrons—through the choice of architect, the employment of craftsmen, and the selection of materials. In an interesting analysis of the participants’ roles, Goy highlights the emerging importance of the superintending master, the protomaestro.
