Una alternativa urbana para la Roma de la Restauración: proyectos inéditos de Giuseppe Valadier

Abstract

This essay focuses on the analysis of a corpus of drawings here attributed to Giuseppe Valadier, which we have completed with the discovery of new plans that allow us to understand what was perhaps his last great urban project for Rome. We propose an interpretation of the evolution of this project through the different versions that we have identified and studied from their urban and stylistic aspects. Following this, we propose an interpretation of drawings which considers the political and cultural history of Rome at the beginning of the 19th century.
