Oltre le mura della Valletta: architettura religiosa a malta nella prima metà del seicento

Abstract

Between the end of the sixteenth century and the first half of the Seventeenth Century, the intense building activity that affected the Maltese archipelago favored the diffusion of the innovations introduced in the projects for Valletta. The construction of new parish churches offered numerous opportunities for the experimentation of Renaissance architectural language, through the use of new decorative repertoires and the models offered by Italian treatises.
