House of Giulio Romano, Mantua PDF Print
Guide Italia - Lombardia

The House of Giulio Romano in Mantua is a monumental building. It is located at number 18 in Via Carlo Poma.

It was designed by Giulio Romano as his residence and is one of the first examples of buildings designed by an artist himself, a sort of autobiography in the form of building. In this kind must also include the two palaces built by Federico Zuccari in Florence (Palazzo Zuccari) and Rome (Zuccari Palace). The first to claim a prestigious role for his being an artist Vasari was perhaps to this end he built residences for themselves that somehow they meant and represented this new role. The architects of the Mannerist period, with works of this kind, then they wanted to, and raise their social status sottranedolo the concept of the craftsman's workshop and by bringing it to the stature of intellectual and noble, and publicly display their artistic talents and his aesthetic program, in a sort of opera-manifesto.
