Palais du Scibene

Le palais du Scibene, ou Uscibene est un palais normand de Palerme. Histoire Situé dans le faubourg d'Altarello di Baida, à l'ouest de Palerme, ce palais aurait été construit sous Roger II (1130-1154), d'après le style d'une partie de l'architecture, mais peut-être aussi sous les règnes des deux Guillaume (1154-1189). Il appartenait aux Sollazzi Regi (it), lieux de repos et de plaisir des rois normands et de la cour, entourés de jardins luxuriants. Faute de sources précises, certains l'identifient au Castello Minenium ou Menani, solatium de Roger II, d'autres, comme Nino Basile, le rapprochent au castello di Mimnervio, forteresse et résidence des archevêques de Palerme situé dans le vaste parc Genoardo tel que décrit par Hugues Falcand. Il est cédé par Guillaume II en 1177 aux archevêques qui l'occupent comme maison de campagne jusqu'au XVe siècle. Il échoit vers 1500 aux Paruta, barons de la Scala, puis à Francesco Alliata di Villafranca, en 1606, aux princes de Paceto en 1665 et aux Jésuites entre 1681 et 1767. Il est, depuis son achat aux enchères en 1786, détenu par la famille Di Cara. Architecture Le niveau inférieur présente un iwan central carré, couvert de voûtes croisées. Des muqarnas ornent les niches latérales. Le niveau supérieur, accessible par deux escaliers latéraux, accueille les vestiges de la chapelle couvert d'un toit en bois et avec des murs d'enceinte ornés d'arcs aveugles. Il est largement détérioré par le temps et non ouvert au public. Notes et références Liens externes Portail de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme Portail de la Sicile Portail du Moyen Âge central
Pallata Tower, Brescia

The Pallata Tower, known simply as the Pallata or Torre della Pallata, is a 32-metre-high (105 ft) 13th-century tower located on Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi in the center of Brescia, region of Lombardy, Italy. History It was initially built as a bastion that was part of the medieval walls of the city. There are two theories about the name pallata: it may be derived from palizzata, the Italian word for a palisade, or it may derive from the name of Pallas Athena, with the stones perhaps having been purloined from a temple of that goddess. Construction began in 1254, in the city quarter of San Giovanni. It was associated with a medieval gate, the Porta di San Giovanni, in the early walls of the city. The tower once held the vaults of a bank or Monte di Pieta. Over the centuries, decorations were added, such as a clock in 1461 and merlons and a small tower at the top between 1476 and 1481. In 1597, the west side of the tower had the addition of a fountain, built in Mannerist style. The fountain was based on a design and iconography by Pier Maria Bagnadore and built by the architect Antonio Carra, and the statuary was completed by the sculptor Valentino Bonesini. The fountain has four allegoric statues, with the lower register representing either the two rivers in Brescia, the Mella and the Garza, or the two lakes in the province, Garda and Iseo. References
Torre della Pallata

La torre della Pallata, meglio conosciuta come la Pallata, è una torre in blocchi di pietra (calcare di Botticino e medolo) di origine medievale alta circa 32 metri, che si trova nel centro storico di Brescia. La torre La torre fu costruita nel 1254 nel quartiere bresciano di San Giovanni, è a basamento quadrato in pietra di Botticino a protezione della Porta di San Giovanni posta sulla prima cinta muraria medioevale. È l'unica struttura fortilizia di questa cinta sopravvissuta fino ad oggi. Il nome "pallata" proviene da una palizzata eretta come difesa. Dopo l'assedio del 1311 di Enrico VII di Lussemburgo la torre fu utilizzata per altre funzioni tra cui quella di contenere la cassa del Comune, come possono testimoniare fatti quali il saccheggio del Tesoro del Monte di Pietà, che era custodito all'interno della Pallata. Nel XV secolo vengono aggiunti altri elementi ornamentali, quali l'orologio nel 1461, o nella parte superiore, i merli in cotto e la torricella, aggiunti tra il 1476 e il 1481. La fontana Sul lato occidentale della torre è presente dal 1597 la fontana dei fiumi realizzata da Antonio Carra, architetto trentino, e dal veronese Valentino Bonesini, su progetto di Pier Maria Bagnadore. La fontana è formata da una composizione architettonica nella quale sono inserite quattro statue allegoriche, di cui le due in basso rappresentano le divinità dei due fiumi principali di Brescia: il Mella (a sinistra) e il Garza (a destra). Altre versioni attribuiscono queste due figure alle allegorie rispettivamente del lago di Garda e del lago d'Iseo. La resistenza dei suoi elementi decorativi, rimasti inalterati nei secoli, forse per la fama goduta da questo elemento architettonico, lancia un'ulteriore ipotesi sulla sua denominazione. Il nome "Pallata" infatti verrebbe fatto risalire ad una deformazione del nome Pallade, cioè la dea Atena, forse per la presenza di materiale di epoca romana riutilizzato per la sua costruzione.

A torre já abrigou as abóbadas de um banco ou Monte di Pieta. Ao longo dos séculos, decorações foram adicionadas, como um relógio em 1461, merlões e uma pequena torre no topo entre 1476 e 1481. Em 1597, uma fonte construída em estilo maneirista foi adicionada ao lado oeste da torre. A fonte foi baseada em um design e inconografia de Pier Maria Bagnadore, construída pelo arquiteto Antonio Carra e a estatuária foi completada pelo escultor Valentino Bonesini.

Municipal Chapel of Sant'Ubaldo, Pesaro

The Municipal Chapel of Sant'Ubaldo is a Baroque-style, small octagonal Roman Catholic church located on Largo Mamiani 1, in central Pesaro, region of Marche, Italy. The chapel was commissioned by the City of Pesaro in 1605 during the Rule of the della Rovere family. It was built to satisfy a voto (or plea) by the Duke Francisco Maria II (born 1549) for an heir. On May 16, 1605, Francesco's second wife, Livia della Rovere, bore him the desired son, Federico Ubaldo. May 16 is the feast day of Sant'Ubaldo. Unfortunately, Federico Ubaldo was to die at the young age of 17 years, and the Rovere family would cease to rule. The chapel was constructed next to city hall. The church interior once held a Sant'Ubaldo by Palma il Giovane, and a San Terenzio by Terenzio Terenzi. It holds the tombs of Guidobaldo II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, and his wife Vittoria Farnese. Over the years it has become the temple used for official ceremonies of the city, and has become a temple for the memory of those from Pesaro who died (caduti) in the World Wars. References

Palazzo della Corgna, Castiglione del Lago

The Palazzo della Corgna is a Renaissance palace located in Castiglione del Lago at the shores of Lago Trasimeno, in the Province of Perugia, in Umbria. It was commissioned during 1550 to 1563 by the condottiere Ascanio della Corgna (1516–1571), Marchese di Castiglione del Lago, but the palace exterior remains unfinished. Ascanio was the brother of Cardinal Fulvio Giulio della Corgna, and both were nephews of Julius III, pope from 1550 to 1555. Among the original architects were Vignola and Galeazzo Alessi. The palace was repeatedly sacked, and parts suffered from fires in 1824 and 1870. It was built in 1870 by the Comune di Castiglione del Lago. The central stanza in the piano nobile has large enveloping frescoes by Niccolò Circignani, depicting episodes from Roman and Latin myths, and a depiction of the Battle of Trasimeno. The palace is linked to the adjacent castle by a secret passageway. Other artists involved in this decorations were Leonardo da Borgo, Egidio di Niccola Egidi, Fabio della Corgna, and Salvo Savini. The frescoes recall work by Giorgio Vasari and Taddeo Zuccari in Rome. By 1643, the feudal properties were removed from the della Corgna family for the actions of Fulvio della Corgna, and place under papal control. In 1651, the palace was bought by the aristocratic Amedei family, and in 1793 by Signori Mazzuoli. References

O Salão de César, Palazzo della Corgna, 1589-1590, Castiglione del Lago. O Salão de César no Palazzo della Corgna, é assim chamado pela representação da vida de César na decoração, seguindo o texto de Suetônio, o estudo de Diomedes della Corgna. As representações, de Salvio Savini, entre 1589 e 1590, ilustram a vida de César, a sua audácia e as suas qualidades como um grande líder. Entre os eventos mais importantes, lembramos as guerras contra os gauleses, os germanos e os britânicos, a travessia do Rubicão e a batalha de Farsalos, que marcou o início de seu poder em Roma. O episódio da recusa da coroa do rei mostra as suas habilidades diplomáticas, enquanto o assassinato de César conclui este ciclo de afrescos. Na abóbada, sustentada por dois querubins alados, está o emblema da família della Corgna, enquanto na parede leste uma porta dá acesso à passarela coberta que conecta o palácio à fortaleza medieval.(Castiglione del Lago, 2023) Em 1643, as propriedades feudais foram removidas da família della Corgna pelas ações de Fulvio della Corgna e colocadas sob controle papal.
