Gabriele Cappellato. // Il modello ligneo della sezione trasversale in scala 1:1 della chiesa di San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, progettata da Francesco Borromini per l'ordine dei Trinitari Scalzi a Roma, costituisce il segnale pubblico della mostra sul giovane Borromini. Il progetto è stato ideato dall'architetto Mario Botta, al quale è stato affidato il compito di allestire la mostra luganese, e nasce all'interno dell'Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio (Università della Svizzera italiana) come tangibile collaborazione con il Museo Cantonale d'Arte. Il rapporto del modello con la mostra è duplice, in quanto è utilizzato quale richiamo spettacolare per la città e i visitatori e, allo stesso tempo, in quanto si ricollega al programma espositivo e alla sua ultima sezione dedicata al San Carlino quale prima grande opera e approdo decisivo della formazione dell'architetto ticinese. Insomma, svolge una duplice funzione di entrata e di conclusione della mostra luganese. Il grande modello si staglia in posizione dominante alla fine del lungolago e dell'insenatura del golfo verso il parco di Villa Ciani, limite storico dello sviluppo secolare della città, con lo sfondo della cerchia dei monti che racchiude il lago di Lugano. Posto su una piattaforma, a qualche metro dalla riva, non vuole essere la copia fedele o una semplice replica dell'originale, ma è concepito come rappre-sentazione e reinterpretazione spaziale e geometrica della chiesa. In questo senso l'opera è riletta attraverso alcune fondamentali variazioni, dal cambiamento del materiale alle scelte formali e alle tecniche costruttive adottate. La chiesa è inserita in un parallelepipedo di base che funge da dispositivo di allontanamento e astrazione rispetto al contesto reale del complesso conventuale alle Quattro Fontane. Il suo apparato ornamentale è drasticamente semplificato, senza alcuna pretesa di ricalco dell'originale; la sezione trasversale è costruita sulla base della costante ripetizione modulare - per l'intera altezza della chiesa - di strisce, tavole sovrapposte di legno di 4,5 cm di spessore e intervallate da una "fuga" di 1 cm. In tal modo si viene a ricomporre una nuova immagine del San Carlino, "liberata" dal contesto ambientale originario e ricostituita allo scopo di evidenziarne la straordinaria invenzione geometrica, strutturale e spaziale. Questa nuova immagine scaturisce da un processo di rielaborazione grafica a partire dal rilievo fotogrammetrico eseguito da Alessandro Sartor. professore di Rilievo presso l'Università La Sapienza di Roma, rilievo poi ridisegnato alla luce delle premesse e degli scopi del modello ligneo. La rappresentazione è stata inoltre a sua volta verificata nel proprio sviluppo tridimensionale attraverso l'immagine virtuale del computer.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. First edition. 29 x 21.5 cm. Quarto. 536pp. Photographs, plans, drawings., index, bibliography Grey cloth in dust jacket. Very light yellowing to page edges and jacket flaps. From the jacket: "The "Full relation" of the Oratory House in Rome was written down by Father Virgilio Spada but the voice is that of its chief architect, the brilliant Italian-Swiss Francesco Borromini (1599-1667). It was published only in 1725; this fully illustrated first English edition makes accessible in translation a unique and fascinating story of the architect's aesthetic and technical problems in taking over a project already under way, and his solutions - a tale indeed to hold "children from play, and old men from the chimney corner." Borromini now stands as one of the greatest artists of the Italian Baroque. The Companion draws on both previous and new research to place the Oratory building and its architect in context - historical, architectural, biographical and topographical. It leaves no doubt that Borromini was not mad, irrational or eccentric, accusations laid even in his life-time and still repeated. Although not a biography, the major sections cover his career, personality and early life, his sources and ideas, his unique approach to design and symbolism, and his relations with patrons and other architects, in particular the sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini, whose own architectural work appears in a new light."

Some leaves originally remargined with paper strips to ensure uniformity throughout the volume. The first and only two installments of the Roman publisher Giannini s intended series on the complete works of the pioneering Baroque architect, a publication project initiated by Borromini himself but left unfinished at the time of his death and realized in two of the most beautiful architecture books ever printed. Born Francesco Castelli in the village of Bissone, in the southernmost canton of Switzerland, Borromini moved first to Milan, where he studied masonry and sculpture, and then to Rome, where he made his career as one of the most important architects of the seventeenth century. His influences ranged from Michelangelo to classical antiquity, nature and mathematics, but he was above all committed to originality and re-envisioned each of these sources, along with many others, to create some of the most ingenious and breathtaking examples of High Baroque architecture. Borromini was also an outstanding draughtsman and unusual for his time in preferring fine, sharply pointed graphite pencils for his drawings, which allowed him to create remarkably clear renderings. Around 1659/1660 he decided to present several of his drawings in a publication and to this end had them engraved by Domenico Barrière (ca. 1615-1678), a former student of Claude Lorraine. The project was left unfinished at Borromini s suicide in 1667, shortly before which he had burned many of the drawings and prints. A number of them did, however, survive and were passed onto his nephew.
