The Fort of Bernia by Giovanni Battista Antonelli
No full textThis paper deals with the relationship between geometrical rules and
proportions as design techniques for military architecture proposed by the engineer
Giovanni Battista Antonelli during the late sixteenth century. After a short introduction
about the Antonelli family of engineers, the paper focuses on a case study,
the Fort of Bernia near Alicante (Spain). The study of the original drawings and
reports on the building preserved in the Spanish national archives has been a fundamental
means of gathering details about the defensive structure. Additionally, a
three-dimensional survey carried out on what remains of the outpost allowed a
careful analysis reconstruction of its history and the geometrical proportion of its
parts. In conclusion this project, a perfect example of geometrical design for a
defensive purpose, represents Antonelli’s total failure as a military engineer,
because his too strict adoption of the theoretical model in a mountainous site
contradicted all the considerations made in his treatise on modern fortification
La chiesa di San Cono a Naso, Messina. Ipotesi di riabilitazione strutturale
No full textApprofondimento dal punto di vista storico sull'edificio ecclesiastico dedicato a San Cono, nel paese di Naso (ME). Ipotesi di restauro e riabilitazione strutturale, previo rilievo architettonico dell'intero complesso (estratto della ricerca di tesi di laurea in Restauro e Consolidamento degli edifici storici, Università di Firenze)
L'arte fortificatoria dell'ingegnere italiano Giovanni Battista Antonelli: un'analisi fra teoria e pratica militare tardo cinquecentesca
No full textIl contributo offre una panoramica dell’attività professionale di Giovanni Battista Antonelli, capostipite di una famiglia di ingegneri militari italiani al servizio del re Filippo II di Spagna nella seconda metà del XVI secolo. In particolare viene dato un giudizio complessivo sulla carriera di Antonelli nell’ambito storico di riferimento, sottolineando il suo apporto originale alla disciplina della fortificazione in relazione ai modelli compositivi dell’architettura militare ed il ruolo divulgativo che ebbe il suo operato. Prendendo in considerazione il suo trattato di architettura militare, scritto fra il 1560 ed il 1561 e mai dato alle stampe, insieme ad una selezione delle sue opere più significative (costruite o rimaste sulla carta), sono qui raccolti i risultati più rilevanti di un’analisi volta a comprendere la poetica progettuale ed il ruolo di geometria e disegno quali strumenti compositivi
Documentation of “musealized” military heritage: the Verrucole fortress (Italy); La documentazione del patrimonio militare “musealizzato”: la Fortezza delle Verrucole (Italia)
No full textThe defensive system existing in the Garfagnana Valley (LU) demonstrates the strategic importance that the region had over the centuries. Among the most impressive military structures of medieval origin it is possible to include the Verrucole Fortress (San Romano in Garfagnana), which owes its current shape to subsequent expansions and heavy changes starting from the 15th-16th centuries. The paper deals with the recent restoration interventions and musealization of the complex, achieved with the integration of the spaces, the complete rearrangement of functions and the improvement of fruition and activities in relation to the flow of tourism. Besides an efficient reuse of architectural heritage, there is a proposal for the documentation of places and interventions through novel acquisition techniques, such as photomodelling, increasingly efficient, cheap and fast. The 3D digital models created in this way can be used within virtual platforms for the enhancement of the monument and the dissemination to a large public of the historical and touristic information

Geometry as a tool for the design of military architecture: the experience of Giovanni Battista Antonelli
No full textThe design of defensive fortresses during the sixteenth century was completed by means of drawing and geometry, by fixing the plan of the pentagonal bastions starting from the line of cannons’ enfilading fire and their rifle range. The proportions of the project derived mainly from ballistics studies and geometry was considered to be the essential tool every technician should use to draw up an efficient protection. Giovanni Battista Antonelli, a military engineer of Italian descent and the first member of his important family that worked for the Spanish kingdom for almost a century, explains in his treatise the compositional logics and the necessary proportions used for the design of defensive buildings. His theoretical work on modern fortifications, entitled Epitomi delle fortificationi moderne di Giovambatta Antonelli, never published and written in Spain between 1560 and 1561, elucidates the geometric rules to project the elements a modern fortification is composed of. These elements, e.g. ramparts, curtains, moat, embrasures and so on, are described in detail in the first book of the Epitomi, specifically dedicated to the defensive architecture, that also gives some information about the different metric units of measurements for the correct dimensioning of architecture, relating the measure in foot units of each country, both in Italy and in Spain. The iconographic setting that enriches the text of the ancient manuscript presents some schematic images that have been examined as well as shaped in a virtual three-dimensional model, in order to provide an exact reconstruction of the “royal bastion” as suggested by Antonelli. The research aims at highlighting the importance of the activities in defensive architecture by Antonelli, and the heritage passed on his family, who disseminated the sixteenth-century architecture in the whole wide world, from Italy to Europe and even to the Caribbean
3D digital models of Brunelleschi’s Dome for geometrical analysis
No full textBrunelleschi’s Dome in Florence is one of the world famous Italian masterpieces, a prime example of Renaissance vaulted constructions of remarkable dimensions, built according to tradition without centring thanks to unusual building techniques. ¬The subject of several research and survey studies over the centuries, the structure has been analysed especially from the geometrical point of view, in order to study in depth the proportional system and the genesis of the pointed arches of its distinguishing outline. Nowadays, thanks to the outstanding developments of technology and to the three-dimensional laser scanner devices for a detailed data capture of reality, there are new possibilities for updating the knowledge of important monumental buildings. Th¬is research presents the results of an ongoing study where reverse modelling applications play a crucial role even if not developed for Cultural Heritage, but appropriate if working with both numerical and mathematical models. In this way, an exhaustive study and check of the geometrical hypothesis on the Dome’s design can be carried out in a broader framework than single sections
