CARLO FONTANA AND HIS DESIGNS FOR NAPLES We don't know hitherto if Carlo Fontana has ever been in Naples. It can be said with some confidence that this architect worked out some projects for architectural works in Naples, like the drawings stored in the Royal Collection of Windsor proves. Starting from the analysis of these drawings and deepening in particular his design for the Neapolitan Somaschi church – the only one carried out with some changes in 1706 by Giovan Battista Nauclerio - the paper focuses on the project works by Carlo Fontana for Naples and on the influence of his architectural language in the Neapolitan territory

Abstract
CARLO FONTANA AND HIS DESIGNS FOR NAPLES We don't know hitherto if Carlo Fontana has ever been in Naples. It can be said with some confidence that this architect worked out some projects for architectural works in Naples, like the drawings stored in the Royal Collection of Windsor proves. Starting from the analysis of these drawings and deepening in particular his design for the Neapolitan Somaschi church – the only one carried out with some changes in 1706 by Giovan Battista Nauclerio - the paper focuses on the project works by Carlo Fontana for Naples and on the influence of his architectural language in the Neapolitan territoryI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
