| Discussion | St. Maria di Carignano Commentary
"S. Maria di Carignano, Genoa, built on the summit of a hill, has a plan which closely follows Bramante's St. Peter's: a Greek cross within a square with a central dome and four smaller domes on the diagonals. The somewhat squat pedimented façade is flanked by two corner towers (a matching pair was intended) rising from the cornice of the pilaster order. The plainness of the exterior walls contrasts with often very elaborate architectural elements, in particular the small rectangular windows." — Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p887. | |
