Abstract

In the field of architectural history about building production in Bologna between XVIth and XVIIth century, Pietro Fiorini’s role (1539-1629) is poorly investigated. Also recent studies doesn't have much to offer to his figure and to an updated critical interpretation of his works; so, the state of the art is at a standstill since the first years of XXth century. Pietro Fiorini was an important architect in the city and his presence on the main building sites is underlined by the most important literary sources written since XVIIth century; despite this, his position within artistic setup is totally obscured by other artists active in Bologna in the same years that were important protagonist of counter-reformed architectural production: just think of Pellegrino (1527-1596) e Domenico Tibaldi (1541-1583), Floriano Ambrosini (1557-1621), Ottaviano Mascarino (1536-1606). A key source to start a research about Pietro Fiorini is so-called Raccolta Fiorini, a substantial archival collection composed of drawings and an autograph diary, written by the architect since 1616. This paper aims to outline a first critical interpretation on the architect, his works and his artistic training and to provide a new consultation tool about archival collection, through a trascription and some synopsis tables.
