1. La chiesa della Maddalena dei Padri Cassinesi a Messina: studio, ipotesi e ricostruzione grafica del progetto di Carlo Marchionni

Author

Tolomeo, Rita and Tolomeo, Rita

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study and the graphic reconstruction of the project of the church of La Maddalena of the Cassinesi in Messina, the work of Carlo Marchionni, architect of the eighteenth century. Based on the few historical photographs before the earthquake, the study proposes a philological reconstruction of the facade. The church, begun in 1765 and finished in 1834, suffered serious damage during the earthquake of 1908, which caused the collapse of the bell towers. This work includes a comparative analysis with other works by Marchionni and hypothesizes possible influences on the Sicilian architectural landscape of the time. Through a methodical approach, the studio aims to reconstruct not only the lost image of the facade of the church but also the historical and cultural context of the lost work, providing new possible suggestions on Marchionni’s heritage in 18th century architecture. On the occasion of this study was analyzed a drawing of the architect preserved in Jesi attributable to the study for an internal altar of the Maddalena.

Abstract

This paper addresses the history and design of a pavilion at the Villa Albani in Rome. Built in 1764 by the architect Carlo Marchionni, possibly to a design by the client, the antiquarian Cardinal Alessandro Albani, this is a caffeaus (or coffee house, to offer a rough translation) featuring an eleven-bay semi-circular portico of Doric order. The taking of coffee after dinner had become a popular pastime and some, who could afford it, built special pavilions in their gardens for this purpose. Pope Benedict XIV, for instance, had a caffeaus built in his garden at the Quirinal Palace some twenty years earlier, where he could withdraw from the formalities of courtly life. For Cardinal Albani, the caffeaus also served as an extension to his Casino, where his vast collection of sculptures, busts and basins was displayed. With the aid of his librarian, the German scholar and writer Johann Joachim Winckelmann, Albani displayed his immense and unique collection of art and antiquities in a way that served to underline his own scholarship, wealth and position of affinity with Rome. The Villa and its splendours were not to be missed by the Grand Tourists. This paper will situate this exceptional pavilion in the wider context of his Villa, whose gardens and buildings today lie in various stages of disrepair and are closed to the public, except by private invitation.
