The manner of Ferraro da Giuliana: at school of plastic in the principato of Don Carlo Aragon Tagliavia

Friday November 9 2012, from 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. - Talking Corner


Commissioned in the second half of the sixteenth century by Don Carlo Aragona Tagliavia, the decoration of the presbytery of the church of San Domenico in Castelvetrano is without doubt the undisputed masterpiece of Ferraro da Giuliana. Its restoration is an indispensable opportunity to study the art techniques that characterize this misunderstood school of stucco "chasers", acquiring technical and historical knowledge. The figurative problems - affecting the plastic decorations - posed by the unusual method of execution of the work involves the whole definition of different solutions within a single theoretical approach.

Attending: Alberto Felici, Restorer of mural paintings; Katia D’Ignoti, Consultant of Tecnorestauri; Gaspare Bianco, D.L. Superintendence of Trapani
