Porte e finestre

the contribution identifies and analyzes the success and operational repercussions in Sicilian architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, of the models for doors and windows disseminated through the press. Some engravings have arrived in loose sheets, such as those attributed to the painter from Viterbo Tarquinio Ligustri. The success in Val di Noto of this almost unknown repertoire continued until the early eighteenth century, but it followed and developed at the same time as that of the models contained in the books by Sebastiano Serlio, Domenico Fontana and Vignola. Alongside the classic treatises of the sixteenth century and of the seventeenth century, the printing of engravings of doors and windows will end in the eighteenth century to become a "publishing phenomenon" with evident repercussions in Sicilian design.
