(Their relationship, I feel oddly bound to note, seems to have been entirely platonic. Trissino was a well-known ladies’ man, and his young mason was happily married and en route to becoming the father of five children. Trissino just liked Palladio a good deal. It seems that most people in Palladio’s life did.)
Because as we all know, gay men can't marry women and bi people dont exist. /s (Also why are you "oddly bound" to tell us they were platonic, lol. What a weird no-homo-like aside.)
