Villa Pisani at Bagnolo in the vicinity of Vicenza (completed in 1544), one of the most interesting works of Andreo Palladio, has been subjected to preservation operations starting from 1975. Conservation works were designed by a Polish architect, Andrzej Pereświet-Sołtan, a graduate Of Architectural Faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, who has been living in Italy for several years. A. Pereświet-Sołtan has consulted his design and programme with Professor Pietro Gazzola of Verona and Professor Renato Levese of Vizenza. It was finally approved in 1977 by Sopritendenza ai Monumenti di Verona. The costs involved in carrying out the works are borne by the family of Ferri (present owners of Villa Pisani) with some assistance from the society of Ente per le Ville Venete. The programme of conservation works at Villa Pisani in Bagnolo has been contained in nine points: (1) to lower the level of the site around the Villa, (2) to dig out cellars and protect walls against dampness, (3) to open arcades of the loggia and to remove walls partitioning its interior, (4) to remove a small balcony in the main hall joining two parts of the house at the first-floor level, (5) to restore original dimensions of the door and window openings made smaller in the 19th century and to equip'them with shutters; in addition to this, to unwall a thermal window in the western elevation lighting up the main hall; (6) to renew wooden ceilings and floors and to replace plasters; (7) to redecorate staircases; (8) to restore the original shape of the roof, (9) to renew inside paintings al fresco. The works are just under way. Some of the points of this programme have already been accomplished. The works are to be totally completed in 1980; this will be also the year of the four- hundredth anniversary of the death of Andreo Palladio.

In the years 1972 — 1973 to a thorough renovation was subjected the Lubomirski Palace situated at the so - called Iron Gate Square in Warsaw and constituting one of the best examples of the Polish neo-classical architecture. The author of the present deals with some problems connected with the above renovation. As may be learned from various sources the Palace was most certainly standing already in 1712. In 1760, on the initiative of Prince Antoni Lubomirski its re construction was started in spirit of the late Baroque based cn design prepared by the architect J. Fontana. The next reconstruction took place in 1790 — 1793 when neo-classical forms have been given to that building. This later reconstruction was designed by J. Hempel (1762—1831) to order given by Prince A lek sander Lubomirski then owning the Palace. In the course of the nineteenth century the objects changed many times the hands of its owners losing more and more its representative character. In 1928 one storey was added and, finally, it was completely burnt down during the bombardment of Warsaw in September 1939. In the years 1947 — 1950 the Palace was rebuilt by the Polish Army Command according to design prepared by T. Żurowski who, however, has not entirely restored to the main body its neo-classical character that was given by J. Hempel. In 1970, in connection with the new spatial arrangement of the city district the Palace was shifted to a new site and turned by 78°. The plan of shifting was prepared by A. Mostowski and the whole operation has been carried out by the Municipal Engineering Company. The last restoration of that object in 1972 — 1973 by the Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property, Warsaw was aimed at its adaptation to a new function as the Officers’ Club of the Warsaw garrison. Some critical remarks concerning this latter restoration were advanced by the author who emphasised that the façades of the palace main body were given architectural character fully complying to original design of J. Hempel. However, it deserves to be regretted that original shape has not been restored to roof and therefore the attic above the main portico seems to be too high and too massive. It is further regretted by the author that the western façade was not appropriately designed thus poorly imitating n eo - classical style from the end of the eighteenth century; the beauty of northern façade wa s spoiled by the two built-in casings housing transformers. Critically assessed were also the finishing works showing sloppiness in some places.
