The present paper deals with a document from the pri-vate archive of Giacomo Sardini, in which the famous erudite man illustrates his firm opposition to the project of Giovanni Lazzarini for the opening of a new square in Lucca (1807). The problem of the demolition of several buildings to free up the space necessary for the con-struction of the work and its characteristics are taken in consideration under many points of view: economic, social and especially architectural. The document te-stifies Sardini’s trust in Vitruvian principles that govern any intervention in the field of architecture.

Abstract

The present paper deals with a document from the pri-vate archive of Giacomo Sardini, in which the famous erudite man illustrates his firm opposition to the project of Giovanni Lazzarini for the opening of a new square in Lucca (1807). The problem of the demolition of several buildings to free up the space necessary for the con-struction of the work and its characteristics are taken in consideration under many points of view: economic, social and especially architectural. The document te-stifies Sardini’s trust in Vitruvian principles that govern any intervention in the field of architecture.
