Inclinazioni progettuali e invarianti compositive nell’architettura dei padri carmelitani calzati romagnoli fra Seicento e Settecento

Resumen

The Carmelite complexes built in Romagna between the end of the 17th century and the second half of the 18th century show the  artistic developments of local sacred architecture both in terms of number of buildings and quality of the projects carried out. In fact,  not only the monks settled in all the most important centers of the Papal province, but the design of their churches and monasteries  was always entrusted to some of the most important architects active in the region at that time: Pier Mattia Angeloni (1627-1701) in  Cesena, the aristocratic “amateur” Giuseppe Merenda (1687-1767) in Forlì, the Bolognese Giuseppe Antonio Torri (1663-1713) and  Alfonso Torreggiani (1682-1764) in Medicina and several other Ticino master builders between Imola and Lugo, not least Domenico  Trifogli (1675-1759) – great-uncle and first teacher of Cosimo Morelli (1732-1812) – and Francesco Ambrogio Petrocchi (1706-1778).
