Napoli’s Front of the Jesuit Collegium in Dubrovnik

Vladimir Marković ; Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti

Abstract

Owing to similarities of the lateral wing of the Jesuit Collegium in Dubrovnik and the main front of Palazzo Arnone in Cosenza, the author believes that the designer of the Dubrovnik front was the Sicilian architect Tommaso Maria Napoli (1659 – 1725). This proposition can be substantiated with the following arguments: the Dubrovnik front was made at the end of the 17th century, when Napoli was in charge of building the Dubrovnik Cathedral; a series of particulars of the Collegium front construction point towards an architect who was acquainted with Sicilian and Central-European architecture (lively movement on the gable, with acroteria at the top of the front, the architectural ornaments made of plaster).
