Il Duomo di Pisa
The Pisa Dome
Il Duomo di Pisa, fondato nel 1064 ed intitolato a S. Maria Maggiore, costituisce un vero capolavoro architettonico del periodo romanico. Il primo progetto dell'edificio risale all'architetto Buscheto, che rimediṭ le forme stilistiche correnti in un linguaggio assolutamente autonomo e innovativo. Secondo la tradizione, la costruzione del Duomo sarebbe stata finanziata con il bottino ricavato in seguito alla cattura di alcune navi saracene nel porto di Palermo. A Buscheto si deve la divisione dell'interno in cinque navate, secondo il modello paleocristiano delle grandi basiliche romane, arricchito dall'inserimento dei moderni elementi di tipo romanico, quali il matroneo che si affaccia sulla navata centrale e la copertura con volte a crociera delle navatelle (la navata centrale, in origine coperta da tetto a capriate, presenta ora un soffitto a cassettoni della fine del XVI sec.).
Pisa - The Duomo
The Dome of Pisa, founded in 1064 and dedicated to S.Maria Maggiore, is a real architectural masterpiece of the Romanic period. The first project for the building was made by the architect Buscheto, who managed to modify the current stylistic forms through a completely innovative and autonomous language. According to the tradition, the construction of the Cathedral was financed by the spoils coming from the seizure of some Saracen ships in Palermo's port. To Buscheto (praised in an epigraph on the facade) we owe the inside division into five naves according to the early Christian model of the great Roman churches, enriched by the use of modern Romanic elements as the women's gallery overlooking the central nave and the roofing with groined vaults of the little naves (the central nave, originally covered by a trussed roof, has now a lacunar dating back to the end of the 16th century).
