| Cicero in his De officiis is the teacher of virtues, while Sallust is the castigator of vices; but the members of the circle focus on poets primarily. In 1540 the architect and theorist Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554) remarked that Vendramin, "a most severe castigator of things licentious," was one of the men of his age most equipped to appreciate the architectural principles of Vitruvius. |
