Understanding the value of the relationship between the client requests’ and their interpretation in the works of the leading figures of Italian architecture in the 16th and in the beginning of the 17th  centuries ( Donato Bramante, Giuliano da Sangallo, Antonio da Sangallo il V.; Antonio da Sangallo il G. , Baldassarre Peruzzi, Giulio Romano, Michele Sanmicheli, Michelangelo Buonarroti,  Andrea Palladio, Carlo Maderno) 

Prerequisites and basic notions

Program

The course will cover the main episodes in the history of early modern architecture: the lessons will offer a critical reflection on the comparison between architectural production and theoretical reflection, and will especially deepen the relationship with the socio-political, economic and cultural context. In particular, the history of architecture from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century will be treated by describing: - the protagonists of the fifteenth century and the main centers of elaboration of the Renaissance language; - the Roman, Florentine and Venetian schools in the early sixteenth century; - the diffusion of classicism in Europe in the second half of the sixteenth century through the work of Palladio and Vignola; - the protagonists of Baroque architecture; - the European city between the 17th and 18th centuries.
