About :
The restoration of the dome of the Church of Santa Maria ai Monti was recently completed. The intervention, supervised by the Special Superintendence of Rome, directed by Daniela Porro, was followed by Alessandra Centroni, Ilaria Sgarbozza and Maria Milazzi and has returned to the faithful, citizens and tourists a wonderful example of religious art in Rome between the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The decoration, pictorial and plastic, presents itself as a collective work, a dense dialogue between sculpture, painting, architecture. The colors, shapes, volumes are finally legible again, freed from the fatty deposits of black smoke, enhanced by new lighting. The restoration involved the entire surface (lantern, dome, drum, pendentives), reaching a height of 37 meters, and lasted about a year. The execution was entrusted to Cristina Vazio Sas. The restoration was narrated through a column entitled #leparolediunrestauro, spread on the social channels of the Special Superintendency, focusing attention on the presentation of the architectural and artistic context and on the different phases of the works. The dome, brilliantly designed by Giacomo della Porta and decorated by a team of painters and decorators between 1599 and 1600, was built in a very short time in anticipation of the jubilee year, according to a precise iconographic program, which begins with the lantern depicting the Eternal Blessing, the work of Paolo Guidotti, and continues with the sequence of eight music-making angels, attributed to Orazio Gentileschi and Cesare Nebbia, which accompanies the spatial distribution of the dome. Below are the Stories of the Virgin surmounted by broken tympanums, with stucco angels on the sides, and medallions with Marian symbols. The dome rests on a high drum marked by four windows alternating with niches that house monumental wooden statues of prophets. A triumph of decorations different in theme and material, capable of creating suggestive images, on which the team of restorers worked to find colors, shapes, gilding. In the video, made by Lorenzo Nardelli, there are interviews with the Special Superintendent Daniela Porro, with Alessandra Centroni, director of the works, with Ilaria Sgarbozza and Maria Milazzi who assisted her, with the restorer Cristina Vazio.
