Accepted Paper:
The Roman ambition of João V in Filippo Juvarra's architectural designing
Sandra Sansone
(Università iuav di Venezia)
Paper short abstract:
Researching in the history of architecture of João V’s rein highlight the strict connection with Rome.
Paper long abstract:
Perhaps inspired by the influence of the Ancien Régime, João V too put down to architecture the key role of symbolising power. By locating and assessing the architectural designing of Juvarra in Lisbon, it can somehow be unravelled a deep relationship, a more profound consideration of Juvarra's work may in fact link him to the majestic elegance of Roman Imperial Architecture, and would not just relate him to the more immediate association with the Rome of the Popes. The aim of João V was to be considered an emperor and Juvarra's architecture reveals it.
