This research is focused on the monastery of San Domenico in Cagliari and its renovation carried out in the second half of Cinquecento. Founded in the settlement of Villanova on the east slope of the Castle of Cagliari during the second half of the thirteenth century, the monastery of San Domenico reached its maximum expansion in the late 1560s as a consequence of the Dominican reform movement. The particular focus of the thesis is on the star-shaped rib vaulting of the church; a complex work which radically transformed the temple, previously covered with a wooden roof built over a diaphragmatic arch system.

Abstract
This research is focused on the monastery of San Domenico in Cagliari and its renovation carried out in the second half of Cinquecento. Founded in the settlement of Villanova on the east slope of the Castle of Cagliari during the second half of the thirteenth century, the monastery of San Domenico reached its maximum expansion in the late 1560s as a consequence of the Dominican reform movement. The particular focus of the thesis is on the star-shaped rib vaulting of the church; a complex work which radically transformed the temple, previously covered with a wooden roof built over a diaphragmatic arch system.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
