Okay, in the 1st century BC, there was a famous architect, Vitruvius, who wrote about Architecture.
Okay. OTL it was discovered in 1414, and influenced renaissance architecture; it's after his work becomes common that we see a lot of neoclassical buildings.
So, the POD: The 4th Crusade. A venetian sailor takes the work from a monastery in Constantinople. He in turn takes it back to Venice, from which it spreads throughout Italy.
Now, we're entering the reign of Frederick II, who saw himself as God's appointed sovereign and heir. And we're also entering the era o a lot of medieval construction.
