Nella collana “I trattati delle arti”, sono riproposte le tavole dai disegni di Palladio pubblicate (Vicenza 1797) da O. Bertotti Scamozzi, che per molti edifici, come le terme di Agrippa, Nerone, Tito e Costantino, in gran parte cancellati dall’incuria e dalle accanite demolizioni e spoliazioni, costituiscono la più completa e attendibile documentazione. L’introduzione sintetizza i significati terminologici e architettonici degli antichi edifici per l’igiene, dai Balaneia greci alle Thermae romane, confrontandoli con le testimonianze delle fonti letterarie e archeologiche. L’introduzione, dopo un cenno all’influsso degli edifici termali sull’architettura dell’età tardo romana e paleocristiana, si conclude con una rassegna delle più significative testimonianze sulle terme romane nell’età di Palladio. Le immagini da Palladio sono integrate da originali elaborati grafici in 3d dei principali edifici termali (pp. 177-198), curati da studenti della facoltà di Architettura del Politecnico di Bari.
In the series "The treaties of the arts", directed by the Author, the volume reproduces the boards from the drawings by Andrea Palladio, originally published by O. Bertotti Scamozzi (Vicenza 1797). For many buildings, like the Baths of Agrippa, Nero, Titus and Constantine, largely erased by the ruthless demolition and pillage, these drawings represent the most complete and reliable documentation. The essay summarizes the terminology and meaning of the ancient Bath Buildings, from the Greek Balaneia to the Roman Thermae, comparing them with the evidence of literary and archaeological sources. After mentioning the influence of bath buildings on Late Roman and Early Christian Architecture, the book draws an overview on the most significant descriptions and studies on the Roman Baths in the age of Palladio. The volume is completed by computer graphic renderings of the buildings from the published engravings (pp. 177-198), edited by the students of the Faculty of Architecture , Polytechnic of Bari.

Abstract
In the series "The treaties of the arts", directed by the Author, the volume reproduces the boards from the drawings by Andrea Palladio, originally published by O. Bertotti Scamozzi (Vicenza 1797). For many buildings, like the Baths of Agrippa, Nero, Titus and Constantine, largely erased by the ruthless demolition and pillage, these drawings represent the most complete and reliable documentation. The essay summarizes the terminology and meaning of the ancient Bath Buildings, from the Greek Balaneia to the Roman Thermae, comparing them with the evidence of literary and archaeological sources. After mentioning the influence of bath buildings on Late Roman and Early Christian Architecture, the book draws an overview on the most significant descriptions and studies on the Roman Baths in the age of Palladio. The volume is completed by computer graphic renderings of the buildings from the published engravings (pp. 177-198), edited by the students of the Faculty of Architecture , Polytechnic of Bari.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
