This paper presents the analysis of the sixteenth-century city of Nola through the comparative study of four drawings attached in De Nola treatise by Ambrogio Leone (1514), also in comparison with the contemporary city.These drawings are an important graphic-documentary testimony of the city as they not only represent the morphology of the places at the time of their elaboration but also for the methods and techniques used for their execution, therefore offering themselves to considerable evaluations, some of which are collected in this paper. Starting from graphic and geometric analyzes and metric estimates of the drawings in the Treatise, this research makes use of the methodological approaches of the science of Drawing not only for their critical reinterpretation but also to connect the Renaissance city to traces still existing in the contemporary city.The comparison with the contemporary city is not only aimed at identifying the permanence in the road network but also at some considerations on the representations of Nola by Leone.The drawings, in fact, are different not only for the spatial context represented in them, but also for the methods of representation adopted, sometimes to simulate the three-dimensionality of the orographic reality, in other cases to offer a visual verisimilitude to the architectures and city walls to demonstrate a general control of the designer on the image of the scene represented.

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of the sixteenth-century city of Nola through the comparative study of four drawings attached in De Nola treatise by Ambrogio Leone (1514), also in comparison with the contemporary city.These drawings are an important graphic-documentary testimony of the city as they not only represent the morphology of the places at the time of their elaboration but also for the methods and techniques used for their execution, therefore offering themselves to considerable evaluations, some of which are collected in this paper. Starting from graphic and geometric analyzes and metric estimates of the drawings in the Treatise, this research makes use of the methodological approaches of the science of Drawing not only for their critical reinterpretation but also to connect the Renaissance city to traces still existing in the contemporary city.The comparison with the contemporary city is not only aimed at identifying the permanence in the road network but also at some considerations on the representations of Nola by Leone.The drawings, in fact, are different not only for the spatial context represented in them, but also for the methods of representation adopted, sometimes to simulate the three-dimensionality of the orographic reality, in other cases to offer a visual verisimilitude to the architectures and city walls to demonstrate a general control of the designer on the image of the scene represented.
