Ireneo Aleandri 1795-18852004

A new plug in History of Architecture is set by Fabio Mariano with this book, which locates the peculiar architectural language of the "Purism" between the tired architectural management of the Neoclassical Era and the forthcoming petitions of Romantic age. In the lands of the Papal Rule the works of the architect Ireneo Alendri (and of his colleague Luigi Poletti) draw a new "purist" line in the munuments promoted by Pope Pio IX during his longlasting papacy.
