The Malatesta Temple<\/strong> is an authentic jewel of the Italian Renaissance, commissioned by Sigismondo Malatesta around the middle of the 15th century to perpetuate his family’s and his own glory.<\/p>\n

Leon Battista Alberti’s first architectural work, begun in 1447, even though it was never finished, it remains a great manifesto of Renaissance architecture.<\/p>\n

Alberti transformed the pre-existing church of San Francesco into a work of shocking novelty. The reference to the classical style is evident in Alberti’s intervention: the great arch of the fa\u00e7ade, inspired by the Arch of Augustus and bearing, on the frieze, the Latin inscription ‘Sigimundus Pandulfus Malatesta Pan F,V. Fecit Anno Gratiae MCCCCL”; the arches on the sides recalling the Tiberius Bridge; the 7 sarcophagi honouring the memories of illustrious poets, philosophers, scientists and distinguished citizens of Rimini, which are placed in each of them; the strongly plastic solution of the volumes constitute the typological characteristics of the new spatial concept of Humanism.<\/p>\n

Particularly noteworthy are the Chapel of the Angels (or of Isotta), which contains the sepulchral ark of Sigismondo’s wife, Isotta, and Giotto’s Crucifix, painted on a panel; Piero della Francesca’s fresco<\/strong>, painted in 1451 and depicting Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta genuflecting before St Sigismondo; the tomb of Sigismondo himself, located to the right of the entrance; the Arch of the Ancestors, where Sigismondo wanted to place the bones of his ancestors and descendants; a large canvas by Vasari depicting St Francis receiving the stigmata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":799,"template":"","poi_category":[90],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Malatesta Temple -
