Il disegno dei baluardi cinquecenteschi nell’opera dei Fratelli Paleari Fratino. Le piazzeforti della Sardegna

Description

This volume offers an analysis of the design activities of Jacopo and Giorgio Paleari, Ticino military engineers at the service of Philip II's Spain and, starting with an excursus on the historical-architectural events that characterized the development of the "modern" fortifications , offers an overview of the work of the two Ticino brothers in the wider war scenario of the sixteenth century. The knowledge path structured through the analysis of the projects, the survey of the works, the examination of the military essayist and the support of archeologia postmedievale, allows you to show the high level of design that distinguishes the work of the Paleari and broaden, in particular, the understanding of the design and construction events of the Spanish strongholds in Sardinia. The design / project of the sixteenth-century bulwarks of Cagliari and Alghero becomes the place of comparisons, of insights, in which the strength of the graphic investigation, of the survey and of representation, as tools of knowledge, dissemination and support for the historical-archaeological investigation , find application and deliver important and substantial results, functional to the constitution of a stylistic-constructive catalog, a useful tool for the protection and enhancement of this particular heritage that still characterizes the urban landscape of the two island centers.
