| Discussion | San Sebastiano Commentary
"Alberti's churches in Mantua, designed for Marquis Ludovico Gonzaga, are reinterpretations of ecclesiastical architecture in antique terms. San Sebastiano is a Greek-cross votive church raised over a high crypt packed with piers. The faŤade (the steps are modern) is a flattened temple front articulated with four pilasters, the central window breaking into the pediment. It is a puzzling structure, never completed, and marred by twentieth-century restorations." — Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. discussion p854. | |
