Antonello Gagini and the "majestic machina marmorea" of the Cathedral of Palermo, Italy, in the "Gagino redivivo" by Vincenzo Auria

Abstract

The paper examines the description of the tribune of the Cathedral of Palermo by Antonello Gagini published in Gagino redivivo by Vincenzo Auria, contextualizing it with other sources related to the monument, both written and iconographic. Auria's detailed description, together with the latter, has allowed a complete reconstruction of the tribune and of its iconographic programme.
