| Summary: | The contribution is focused on Alessandro Antonelli’s project for the seat of the new italian parliament in Turin. The project, unrealized,
began back in 1860, when the annexation to the Piedmont of Tuscany and the Emilia asked for the building in the capital of a decent
seat for the National Parliament. It had to be situated on the area of the ex Carignano garden, behind the homonym building and the
“antonellian” Collegio delle Provincie, in the heart of the city, that comes to be as representative place of the absolutist and dynastic
power, through the phases of XVIIIth century of amplification and architectural-urbanism new configuration.

To deepen therefore the knowledge of Antonelli’s project and to understand better the reasons that have brought to the choice to locate
in Palazzo Carignano the Italian Parliament, is has been chosen to deepen the relationships between the building and the city, through
a punctual iconografic and archivistic documentation that it has allowed to read the development of the building among XVIIth and
XIXth century, also in relationship to the urban transformation, putting to comparison the various projects of the contest with the
Baroque existence. Through the restitution of virtual images it has been possible to optimize the hypothesis, putting not only to fire the
philosophy of the project, but above all Antonelli’s way to measure himself with such an incisive existence in the city as the
“guariniano” Palazzo Carignano and to bring back the linguistic choice to the amplest circle of the works that the architect realized in
the city of Turin. |
