The survey and the analysis as guidelines for the reutilization of the Palazzo Baronale of Pisignano (LE)

Abstract

The warm desire of the City of Vernole to establish a museum of agricultural instruments was the occasion to debate on the philological recovery of the design of the Palazzo Baronale Severini – Romano in Pisignano. The objective was to recognize that value, in order to intervene on the project and to return it as a whole, making it usable according to the new designation and without betraying the original spirit of the project conceived by the architect of that period.
Accordingly, the objective of this work is to show the role of the survey and of the metric analysis as tools of knowledge, which are useful to formulate a hypothesis of reutilization that does not betray the philosophy of the original project. The reconstruction of a unitary project for the facade of the building and the demolition of some parts of the ground floor do not modify, from a philosophical perspective, the design of the XVII century.
