Revision as of 17:01, 9 January 2009
Orazio Torriani (fl. 1602 — 1657) was an architect who worked in Rome. In 1602 he rebuilt the church of San Lorenzo in Miranda within the cella of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. In 1624 he built the façade for the ancient basilica of San Bartolomeo all'Isola on the Tiber Island, a work commissioned by Cardinal Trescio. At the church of Santi Domenico e Sisto the double staircase built in 1654 appears to be his work,[1] and at the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano his project, commissioned by Urban VIII Barberini and directed by Luigi Arrigucci, raised the floor to consort with the modern level of the Forum of Vespasian. He built the church of San Francesco di Paola (1624-1630), and in Trastevere, that of San Callisto. The aedicular altar in Sant'Agostino (1627), often attributed to Bernini, is his design.[2]
In the construction of the façade for the Jesuit church of Sant'Ignazio Torriani was called in, with Martino Longhi the Younger, to critique the revised design by the Jesuit, Fra Antonio Sasso; they found fault with it and recommended, in vain, that the original design by Father Antonio Grassi be adhered to. Their proposals included no contributions of their own.[3]
More than thirty drawings by Torriani are conserved in the Kunstbibliothek Berlin.[4]
Like all designers of the Renaissance and Baroque, Torriani was called upon to design quite temporary constructions for feasts and occasions, and here his work could express the most recent developments.[5] We only know about his thalamus for the procession at Santa Maria sopra Minerva at the Feast of the Rosary, 5 October 1625, because it was memorialised in an engraving.[6] It was an openwork domed baldachin supported in Solomonic columns such as those Bernini was providing for St. Peter's Basilica. There are further designs for ephemeral occasions in the Kunstbibliothek Berlin.
