Il patrimonio perduto della famiglia Pola nel Trevigiano: la villa di Barcon di Vedelago
No full textThe Pola family, coming from the Istrian city of the same name, settled in Treviso
between the 14th and the 15th century, where, recognized in the nobility, gained a
role of increasing importance. The main surviving testimony relating to the interests
of the family in the surrounding countryside is the barchessa of the no longer
existing villa in Barcon di Vedelago, designed by Giorgio Massari. Through sources,
cartography and comparisons, a reconstruction of the original appearance of these
buildings is proposed, to evaluate the role of the Polas in this area between the 15th
and the 19th century

La forma urbana: la storia della città e Lionello Puppi a Padova
No full textThe contribution aims to investigate the role of the courses of history of architecture and of the city, held especially by Lionello Puppi at the University of Padua since the 1960s, with a comparison with what happened in the same period in the broader Italian panorama. In this way it will be possible to demonstrate the variety of topics faced by Lionello Puppi and the growing importance of urban history inside his teaching, able of opening new research perspectives in the University of Padua
«Nessun lamentò il monumento perduto»: la demolizione di Palazzo Pola e Palazzo Bressa a Treviso
No full textThe research aims to evaluate the importance of Palazzo Pola and Palazzo Bressa for the urban history of Treviso since their first realisation during the 15th century. Thanks to written and iconographic testimonies, their main characteristics will be presented. The period that led to the demolition of the two buildings will also be studied in depth. All these elements will help to reflect not only on what has been lost, but also more generally on the role of large private residences in the city
Nuove terre, altre presenze: le ville dei patrizi veneziani nel Delta del Po
No full textThe contribution aims to analyse the area corresponding to the present Basso Polesine and Po Delta territories, considering the interactions between the Venetian patricians who invested there during the modern age and the local population. This was a true ‘dialogue with the other’, which led to a new relationship between dissimilar cultures. The Delta region was reclaimed by this ‘external will’ from the 16th century onwards, but the great hydraulic work known as Taglio di Porto Viro (1600-1604) represented a fundamental turning point. The current landscape is the result of the considerable anthropic impact: between the 17th and 18th centuries it consisted in huge investments made by the Venetians. A consequence was the realization of villas and buildings useful for the management of the territory. The manor houses became an element of alterity with a specific role in the development of small communities, made up of local labourers and peasants who continued to live in thatched or wooden huts. Finally, the paper proposes a study of the transformations that affected this territory with the support of specific examples. They testify both the ambitious projects of the rich families from Venice and the difficult conditions of the local population

The Via Flaminia as a route of cultural exchanges
No full textThe Via Flaminia was opened in 220 B.C. by the roman consul Caio Flaminio. The aim was to create a connection between Rome and the Adriatic Sea. Even if the project was particularly hard to realize because the Apennines had to be crossed diagonally, it became a strategical road for a long period. After the fall of the Roman Empire, also the powerful street network built during the centuries became worse and worse and the Via Flaminia had to follow this destiny. But it survived and in the XVI century it still represented an important channel of communication between North and Central Italy. Its path was constantly travelled not only by traders and merchants, but also by architects. Indeed, it was considered the easiest route through which an artist had the possibility of reaching Rome from Northern Italy. The Eternal City offered the possibility to study the buildings and the evolution of the architectures: Rome had been over the centuries the background of uninterrupted cultural transformations and each architect needed to know them for the elaboration of a personal style. But it is important to underline that the Via Flaminia itself offered monuments and buildings of high artistic interest. They could give to the most brilliant minds the initial prefiguration of what they would have seen once they had reached their destination in Lazio. Among them Baldassarre Peruzzi e Andrea Palladio must be mentioned first. Approaching Rome, they had the chance to see important sites. For example, both of them were astonished by the Temple of Minerva in Assisi. Moreover Palladio in Umbria studied the Roman Theatre in Gubbio, the famous Temple of Clitumnus and the Langobardic Basilica of San Salvatore in Spoleto. Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Sebastiano Serlio analysed this historical heritage and Serlio described it in the Third and Fourth Book of his architectural work. Finally Michele Sanmicheli was inspired by the antiquities of the Via Flaminia in his projects as well.
The goal of the research is to focus on the Via Flaminia not only as a commercial route, but also as a cultural path. Moreover the purpose is to offer some examples of
the interactions between the architectural examples that are present in Central Italy
and the reinterpretations of the architects that studied them during their way to Rome

Piccoli centri tra terre di bonifica: nuovi insediamenti nel territorio del Delta del Po
No full textThe contribution aims to reflect on the small settlements that arose in the Modern Age in the Basso Polesine region in Veneto. In this area, the course of the Po River generated lands that for centuries were subjected to land reclamation and water regimentation operations. The most important municipalities in Basso Polesine originated during the Venetian republic period: the interest of many noble families intensified from the beginning of the 17th century, after the detour of the Po River through the Porto Viro Cut (1600-1604). Between the 17th and the 18th centuries, the Venetians’ investments in the Po Delta were accompanied by the construction of villas, called Ca’, to manage the territory: in some cases communities sprang up around them and over the years they turned into small towns. These spaces were connected to Venice, where the central power remained and the owners continued to live. Using sources and historical cartography, the paper proposes an analysis of the organization of this region, which was inserted in the shadow of a well-structured network that referred for a long time to Venice and after its fail to the rich bourgeois families who acquired the lands. Only a few villas became towns: among the most interesting examples, Porto Viro, formed by the municipalities of Donada (Donà family) and Contarina (Contarini family), and Porto Tolle, having as its municipal seat the village of Ca’ Tiepolo, will be considered
