Summary
A groundbreaking discovery challenges the long-held assumption that Sabbioneta's Casino del Giardino was entirely a new construction. Research led by Jan Pieper from Aachen reveals that the building, one of the first erected by Herzog Vespasiano Gonzaga after his 1577 appointment, actually incorporated an existing smaller structure. This finding was made possible through meticulous architectural investigations and simultaneous studies on the city's ideal urban planning metrics, shedding new light on the relationship between the Casino and Sabbioneta's broader design vision.
