HISTORY(BUILDINGS MUSEUMS)
Architectural remains from the ancient period in Italy testify to the greatness of past cultures. In Italy, the
history of architecture proceeds to the classical Romans, the Etruscans and Greeks are one that started with
their ancient styles .Later, in the Renaissance era, the Roman period revived and flourished. During the
Italian Renaissance, it was customary for architecture students to travel to Rome to study ancient ruins and
buildings as an important part of their education. Arch of Constantine is also Rome. The former St. Peter's
Church (started about 330 AD) was probably the first important early Christian basilica, a style of church
architecture that dominated the early Middle Ages. Old St. Peter stood in place of the existing St. Peter's
Basilica in Rome. The first important buildings in the Medieval Romanesque style were the churches built
in Italy in the 800s. A few outstanding examples of the Byzantine architectural style of the Middle East
were also built in Italy. The most famous Byzantine building was built in St. Petersburg. It is the Basilica of
Mark. The biggest blooming of Italian architecture took place in the Renaissance period. Filippo
Brunelleschi made great contributions to the architectural design with the dome of the Florence Cathedral.
Leon Battista Alberti was another early Renaissance architect whose theories and designs had a tremendous
impact on later architects. Perhaps the greatest success of the Italian Renaissance architecture was the St.
Peter's Basilica, designed by Donato Bramante at the beginning of the 16th century. Andrea Palladio
influenced architects in western Europe, with villas and palaces designed in the middle and late 16th
century. In the 17th century, the Baroque era produced several outstanding Italian architects, especially
known for their churches. The most important architects were Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco
Borromini. Numerous modern Italian architects such as Renzo Piano are world famous. In the 18th and
early 19th century, Italy was influenced by the Neoclassical architectural movement. Everything from
villas, palaces, gardens, interiors and art began to rely on Roman and Greek themes, and the buildings had a
wide theme on Andrea Palladio's masterpiece, Villa Capra "La Rotonda". EUR in Rome is an excellent
example of modern Italian architecture Italian modern and contemporary architecture refers to the
architecture in Italy in the 20th and 21st centuries. During the Fascist era, the so-called "Novecento
movement" flourished, with figures such as Gio Ponti, Peter ASCHIERI, Giovanni Muzio. This movement
was based on the rediscovery of imperial Rome. Marcello Piacentini, who is responsible for the urban
transformations of many cities in Italy and recalls the controversial Via della Conciliazione in Rome,
designed a kind of "simplified Neoclassicism". (Perfectly shown fascist architecture Euro buildings)
