Ricetto architecture

Ricetto architecture (also Ricetto motif or Ricetto form ) describes an architectural motif in which a column is arranged in such a way that it occupies a position confined between two parts of the wall (Italian ricetto - container, refuge, kennel ). Such a Ricetto column can be designed to be both load-bearing and non-load-bearing.

One of her earliest documented examples comes from the grave of Annia Regilla (so-called Temple of Deus Rediculus ) in Rome (after 160 AD). Apart from the architecture of the Middle Ages, it is only used again by Michelangelo in the Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence.

In fortress construction, the area (kennel) between two defensive walls or buildings serving as defensive walls is referred to in Italian as ricetto . In the Middle Ages, entire village squares were built up in such a way that they could be used as kennels in the event of a defense (the Ricetto di Candelo is best known ).
