ANDREA GIGANTE E GLI ALTRI: SULL’AUTOREVOLEZZA PROFESSIONALE DELL’ARCHITETTO NEL SETTECENTO A PALERMO

Abstract

This contribution is based on the transcription and commentary of a document from the mid-18th century. The dialectic between Andrea Gigante (1731-1787) and a client for a specific service (a project and model of an altar in the church of San Carlo) indirectly reveals the status of social authority achieved in Palermo by the architect.
