Bartolomeo y Francesco Antonio Picchiatti, dos arquitectos al servicio de los virreyes de Nápoles: Las Agustinas de Salamanca y la escalera del palacio real

Abstract

Some of the Spanish Viceroys in Naples and other members of their entourage were deeply interested in architectural matters. Two Italian architects, father and son, worked for two Viceroys in Salamanca (the church of the Monastery of the Agustinas) and Naples (the imperial staircase in the Royal Palace) in the Seventeenth Century. A different brief and a different context justified their approaches to the architectural project.
