1. tuscan order

   The Tuscan order is one of the five orders of classical architecture, the others being the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite orders. The simplest of all the orders, its main characteristics are an unadorned frieze, a plain base, and a simple capital. It originated in ancient Italy and is named after the Tuscany region. It is very similar to the Doric order but is typically more robust and with a simpler entablature.

1. Tuscan order

   Among canon of classical orders of classical architecture, the Tuscan order's place is due to the influence of the Italian Sebastiano Serlio, who meticulously described the five orders including a "Tuscan order", "the solidest and least ornate", in his fourth book of Regole generalii di Architettura... sopra le cinque maniere degli edifici.... Though Fra Giocondo had attempted a first illustration of a Tuscan capital in his printed edition of Vitruvius, he showed the capital with an egg and dart enrichment that belonged to the Ionic order. The "most rustic" Tuscan order of Serlio was later carefully delineated by Andrea Palladio. From the perspective of these writers, the Tuscan order was an older primitive Italic architectural form, predating the Greek Doric and Ionic, associated by Serlio with the practice of rustication and the architectural practice of Tuscany. Giorgio Vasari made a valid argument for this claim by reference to il Cronaca's graduated rustication on the facade of Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. Like all architectural theory of the Renaissance, precedents for a Tuscan order were sought for in Vitruvius, who does not include it among the three canonic orders, but peripherally, in his discussion of the Etruscan temple. Later Roman practice ignored the Tuscan order, and so did Leon Battista Alberti in De re aedificatoria.
