Summary
“Luigi Poletti and the Challenge of Rebuilding San Paolo” details how Poletti set about pursuing a completely revised project for San Paolo that was historicist in all but name and which aimed at salvaging what he perceived as the flawed Early Christian basilica building type by recasting it in a neo-Renaissance idiom.
