Antonio da Sangallo, a renowned architect of the Renaissance era, left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape with his innovative designs. From Montepulciano to Siena, his creations continue to captivate and inspire. At sunset in Montepulciano, one can witness the breathtaking beauty of San Biagios Church. Its side elevation, meticulously crafted by Antonio da Sangallo himself, stands as a testament to his mastery. The Val D Orcia serves as a picturesque backdrop for this architectural marvel. Intriguing glimpses into Antonio da Sangallo's genius can be found in Paul Marie Letarouilly's engravings from Vatican and St Peter's Basilica. Plate 15 showcases different designs for St Peter's Basilica, each bearing the unmistakable touch of Sangallo's brilliance. Plate 13 further unveils three more designs attributed to him. The deambulatory lateral facades of the Basilica are brought to life through another manuscript by Antonio da Sangallo. Letarouilly's engraving captures their grandeur and intricacy perfectly. Delving into history, we find ourselves transported back in time with Letarouilly's engravings depicting Old St Peter's Basilica (Plate 7), and is here that we begin to appreciate how far Antonio da Sangallo pushed the boundaries of architecture with his visionary ideas. Collaborating with Giuliano da Sangallo on certain projects led to remarkable outcomes showcased in Volume I of Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica engravings (Plate 5). Their joint efforts resulted in awe-inspiring designs that still leave us spellbound today. The facade design presented in Plate 18 exemplifies Antonio da Sangallo’s ability to create harmonious compositions that blend seamlessly with their surroundings. His attention to detail is evident throughout every element he envisioned for St Peter’s Basilica.
