MUTAZIONI IN CORSA: L’AVVENTURA DELLA COSTRUZIONE DI UNA FACCIATA DEL SETTECENTO. LA CHIESA DI SAN GIOVANNI A VIZZINI

Abstract

A series of documents helps to define the history of the genesis of an eighteenth-century church façade in Sicily: the church of San Giovanni in Vizzini. The history reveals a constant change of intentions and an empirical approach where, without necessarily proceeding to demolish the already built, the project is subjected to continuous revisions and additions. The process therefore reveals a radical alternative to the idea of an orderly succession between drawing and execution.
