ANOTHER RENAISSANCE
Date: 2019
The Southern Renaissance, which arose almost simultaneously with the other Renaissance of the Peninsula, manifests itself not homogeneously like the Tuscan, Milanese and Roman ones, but as a gradual rethinking of the late medieval forms, which persist in the compositional schemes of various civil and religious constructions. In Naples, the Tuscan forms were assimilated starting from the second half of the fifteenth century, after the reconciliation events of the various lords who governed the various Italian states and who sent artists and architects everywhere to ingratiate themselves with alliances. These influences were mitigated by the generation of architects following the cultural and hegemonic invasion of Florence, reinterpreting the Albertian, Brunelleschi and Brahmanian forms according to the needs of the place. In this photographic project various Neapolitan and Capuan architectures have been interpreted, where the Renaissance produced important architectures that survived the Baroque alterations and the nineteenth and twentieth century demolitions.
