Samenvatting | This first book about Palazzo di Montecitorio, examines the Baroque building through a photographic review of etchings and paintings featuring the palazzo, executed between the 17th and 19th centuries. The current building was commissioned by Pope Innocent X from Gian Lorenzo Bernini as a future residence for the Ludovisi family. Bernini, an interpreter of the true essence of Roman Baroque, designed a building which, in terms structure and decoration, was suited to the lie of the land. In fact, the facade of the palazzo, which is slightly curved, follows the line of the artificial hill, and the roughly-hewn stones, from which leaves and broken branches emerge, simulate a building constructed on bare rock. |
