Il Battistero di Pisa
The Pisa Baptistery
Il Battistero è uno dei quattro edifici che compongono lo splendore del complesso monumentale di Piazza dei Miracoli ed è noto ai pisani anche perché fu proprio al suo interno che, nel 1564, venne battezzato Galileo Galilei. Fu iniziato il 15 agosto 1152 ma il suo completamento nel corso del tempo è stato contraddistinto da vari interventi avvenuti in epoche diverse. Il progetto originale del Battistero era dell'architetto Diotisalvi, indicato come uno dei possibili progettisti della Torre pendente, ma i lavori furono interrotti presto per essere ripresi, con radicali modifiche alle idee iniziali, un secolo più tardi, sotto la guida di Nicola e Giovanni Pisano. La struttura fu terminata a fine Trecento. Questa è la ragione della particolare mescolanza di stili architettonici che contraddistingue il Battistero e che è possibile ritrovare anche in altre opere di Piazza dei Miracoli.
Pisa - The Baptistery
The Baptistery is one of the four buildings that constitute the monumental complex of Piazza dei Miracoli and it is famous in Pisa because Galileo Galilei was baptised here in 1564. It was started on August 15, 1152, but its completion in the course of time was characterized by changes carried out into different periods. The original project of the Baptistery belonged to the architect Diotisalvi, who was thought as one of the possible planners of the Leaning Tower, but the works were soon interrupted and restarted one century later under the supervision of Nicola and Giovanni Pisano with radical alterations in comparison to the early ideas. The building was finished at the end of the XIV century. This is the reason of the particular mix of architectural styles that characterizes the Baptistery and that is possible to find also in other works of the Piazza dei Miracoli.
