Abstract (in English)

The restoration of the courtyard of the house of Alvise Cornaro was carried out between 1983 and 2000. During this long period, the author produced several studies and projects, regularly debated with a high-profile interna- tional scientific commission. The house of Alvise Cornaro, in Padua, was reformed between 1524 and 1560 ca. and is one of the first architectures of the Roman Renaissance according to the Vitruvius canons built in northern Italy. This architecture has long established its reputation as a place for comedies and small concerts due to the presence of two buildings of great architectural quality: the Loggia and the Odeo. Based on observations and measurements, however, the restoration programme allowed us to recognize that architecture corresponds to a unitary project inspired by a kind of the domus canonized in the Vitruvius architecture treatise. The paper presents arguments and conclusions of this case study.
