Abstract
Salento spires, like Neapolitan models, are a particularly interesting phenomenon of Baroque street furniture both for the decorative elements and the role that have in the urban space. Chronologically later than the spire of San Gennaro and that of San Domenico in Naples - the first one between 1637 - 1660 and the second one between 1658 – 1737 – they were built in the second half of the 18th century except the one of San Vito in Lequile in the late 1600s and that of Bitonto in 1731. According to historiography Baroque spires are due to Cosimo Fanzago whose solutions are in a first moment a formal passage from the triumphal column to the spire of San Gennaro and from the py-ramidal obelisk then in that one of San Domenico. Salento and Apulian models seem to propose above all the theme of the ancient obelisk probably due to the simultaneous diffusion of triumphal columns of which no new solutions are found in local artists except in the base, in particular in the column of Sant’Andrea in Presicce, in that of the Ma-donna delle Grazie in Maglie and in that of Sant’Oronzo in Lecce. Both the celebratory solutions – that is spiers and columns – have the same urban value that is the perspective fulcrum of the Renaissance and Baroque urban scenes. This paper is due campaign of surveying regarding Salento and Apulian baroque spiers never sur-veyed in detail before. The specific literature has only superficially analyzed these architectures with only approximate surveys and with a certain lack in methodological rigor. Main objective of the contribution is therefore surveying the spire of the Immaculate Conception in Nardò and later the comparison with Neapolitan models and its compositional/spatial analysis (fig.1). The sculptural component of these architectures and their vertical development requires to integrate the TLS acquisition technologies with digital photogrammetry using an UAV to complete the acquisi-tions from below and also providing better ortophotographic quality.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
