Sintesi

TLDRLeon Battista Alberti's first architectural intervention was the redesign of the Gothic Church of San Francesco in Rimini, also called the Tempio Malatestiano, commissioned by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta. Alberti encased the church in Istrian stone, disregarding existing structures, and the project remains unfinished. The initial design indicated a facade crowned with a pediment, with curved semi-timpani and a large hemispherical dome. The facade features Renaissance elements inspired by Roman models, like the Arch of Augustus and the Arch of Constantine, with a podium-like base supporting semicolumns, high plinths, and composite capitals adorned with cherub heads, along with a central portal embellished with festoons and ancient marble decorations.

    The first architectural intervention by Alberti was the redesign of the Gothic church of San Francesco in Rimini, also known as the Tempio Malatestiano, commissioned by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, the city's lord. Alberti encased the building in Istrian stone, disregarding the existing structure. Though the work remained unfinished, the original design is preserved in a medal for the church's consecration. The upper part of the facade was to be topped with a pediment, and the semi-circular tympana would connect it to the underlying cornice, completed by a large hemispherical dome. In the Tempio Malatestiano, Alberti created the first Renaissance church facade, drawing inspiration from Roman antiquity, particularly the triumphal arches of Augustus in Rimini and the Arch of Constantine. A high podium-like base supports semi-columns with very tall plinths and composite capitals featuring cherub heads. The central column frames the portal, adorned with festoons and antique marble ornaments sourced from buildings in Ravenna.
