La nuova idea di cupola : teatri sacri e profani nell’Europa d’età barocca tra storia e rappresentazione
2023
A remarkable and diverse series of ceiling structures emerged between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in several European cities, aiming to offer a theatrical approach to architectural space. This development unfolded amidst the widespread use of frescoed ceilings or hemispherical domes supported by drums and pendentives inspired by Roman models. Designing and building systems consisting of multiple domes, open with oculi, superimposed or surmounted by lanterns, adorned with frescoes or galleries, and featuring light and music chambers required expertise in optics, perspective, acoustics, and, in some cases, even stereotomy. These skills were necessary to transform spaces in both r…
«Nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum». Ipotesi sul campanile della chiesa della Santissima Annunziata di Messina
2022
This article addresses a series of hypothesis concerning the octagonal space indicated in Guarino Guarini’s drawings of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata in Messina in his Architettura Civile. The façade of the church was completed around 1660 by Guarino Guarini and presented a «prodigiously high» bell tower at the corner, which collapsed during the 1693 earthquake and was later rebuilt shorter. The entire church was destroyed during the 1908 earthquake. Guarini’s drawings published in his treatise suggest that there must have been an octagonal chapel with columns at the corners under the tower; perhaps it was the baptistery of the church. Alternatively, the octagon can be identified …
Imagen e iconografía en las exequias del príncipe Baltasar Carlos en Zaragoza en 1646.
2014
ABSTRACT: This article studies the ceremonial funeral rites for Prince Baltasar Carlos of Austria, son of Philip IV and the hope for the healing of a monarchy in crisis, in the exequies celebrated in the city of Zaragoza, where the young heir to the throne died shortly before his seventeenth birthday, in 1646. The monumental catafalque erected in the plaza of the market place (a fantastic ephemeral tumulus characterized by a splendid Baroque architecture full of symbols), demonstrates the magnificence with which the death of such a beloved prince was presented to the public, in the second third of the seventeenth century. KEYWORDS: Prince Baltasar Carlos of Austria, Spanish Golden Age, roya…

Arquitectura para dos carismas distintos en el Bajo Aragón turolense en el Seiscientos : el convento carmelita de Alcañiz y el descalzo del Desierto …
2019
En el Bajo Aragón turolense se asentaron un gran número de órdenes religiosas en las primeras décadas del Seiscientos, y entre ellas, los carmelitas, que llegaron a Alcañiz en 1602; o los descalzos, que se establecieron en el convento del desierto de Calanda en la década de los ochenta de ese siglo. Sin embargo, las diferencias entre ambos establecimientos son evidentes, ya que fueron concebidos tanto espiritual como arquitectónicamente diferentes uno de otro debido a las funciones que debían cumplir. El caso alcañizano es una de las muestras más destacadas de la arquitectura bajoaragonesa del barroco, mientras que el calandino es un buen ejemplo de desierto carmelita, cuyas trazas probable…
Sacred atmospheres. A baroque church in a market as a case study
2020
Sebbene l’architettura abbia spesso attribuito un ruolo chiave allo spazio cartesiano, fondato sulla geometria e sul paradigma visivo, l’estetica delle atmosphere – intesa come indagine sulla relazione tra le qualità espressive dell’ambiente e le condizioni percepite soggettivamente – può offrire ulteriori prospettive teoriche. L’articolo sostiene che l’estetica delle atmosphere, tenendo conto di tutti i sensi, dovrebbe essere considerata uno strumento interpretativo valido a integrare il punto di vista tradizionale della storia dell’architettura. Per dimostrarlo, il saggio si concentrerà su un caso di studio: la chiesa barocca dell’ Immacolata Concezione al Capo, collocata all'interno di u…
La Iglesia de San Bartolomé de Valencia en el siglo XVIII (1704-1742)
2022
Mediante el análisis de documentación inédita, el presente artículo investiga lo acontecido arquitectónica y artísticamente en la desaparecida Iglesia de San Bartolomé de Valencia entre los años 1704 y 1742. Partiendo de los daños que surgieron a raíz del levantamiento del segundo cuerpo del campanario, se profundizará en la reforma decorativa de la Capilla del Santo Sepulcro, la realización del púlpito, así como la construcción del retablo mayor y su dorado. Estas intervenciones definieron artísticamente la iglesia según los cánones del barroco de corte clasicista recientemente introducido en Valencia. Otro propósito de este estudio es el de sacar del olvido la personalidad del rector Féli…
Il prospetto e il fianco della chiesa di Santa Maria la Croce a Regalbuto
2022
Today’s appearance of the church of Maria Santissima la Croce in Regalbuto is the result of interventions carried out during the last 300 years. The 19th century’s plaster decorations of the interiors hide the original structure of the 16th-century church. One of the “antiquities remainings” survived on the red carved stone arch upon the main apse. The study reveals that the model of the façade, completed in 1774, is the arch of Triumph for Porta dei Greci in Palermo, designed in 1735 by Nicolò Palma and known today thanks to an engraving by Antonino Bova. A document in the archive of the church of San Basilio demonstrates the process of the side façade design, which required reinforcement …
