 Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola
Here Vignola connected the dome with a nave, giving he latter such breadth and height, in contrast with the very narrow aisles, that the central space produces a preponderating effect, the aisles showing as mere rows of chapels.
The porch of the Gesu was built by Giacomo dela Porta; its uniting volutes between the stories and the ornamentation around the doorway also became models for the succeeding period.
Besides buildings erected at an earlier date at Bologna and Montepulciano, mention should be made of his work in the Villa Giulio for Pope Julius II, the Church of the Angels at Assisi, and lastly the much-admired little Church of Sant' Andrea at Rome on the Pontemolle road, a square structure with a cupola.

This particular style, known today as mannerism, was a reaction to the ornate earlier high renaissance designs of twenty years earlier.

 Giorgio Vasari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At a very early age he became a pupil of Guglielmo da Marsiglia, a very skilful painter of stained glass, to whom he was recommended by his own kinsman, the painter Luca Signorelli.
Unhappily he did much to injure the fine medieval churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, from both of which he removed the original rood screen and loft, and remodelled the retro- choir in the Mannerist taste of his time.
In Rome, Vasari worked with Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola and Bartolomeo Ammanati at Pope Julius III 's Villia Giulia.

 Villa Giulia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The casino was built from a design by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola in 1551 - 1553.
However, Bartolomeo Ammanati, Giorgio Vasari, and Michelangelo worked there too; the Pope spent vast amounts of money enhancing the beauty of the villa which is one of the most delicate examples of Mannerist architecture.
Vignola's urban front of the building is a sombre two storey facade, each storey given equal value.

Vignola aveva esordito a Bologna come pittore e "prospettico" e in qualità di pittore giunse a Roma a tempo del pontificato di papa Giulio: ma fu Paolo III e la famiglia Farnese a conferirgli le più importanti commesse della sua vita e per i quali costruì il suo capolavoro.
Vignola è ambizioso almeno quanto il committente e propone un palazzo a quattro piani a pianta esagona a cui si accede da un lungo viale.
Vignola coniuga il tema del poliedro esagono con i cerchi della scala a chiocciola, della grande corte e della cappella.

The coat-of-arms on the title is that of the dedicatee, Giacomo Buoncompagni, natural son of Pope Gregory XIII.
The book is well produced, the text by Vignola printed in large Roman type and the text by Danti in Italic and smaller Roman type, with small Italic legenda in the margins.
Vignola was one of the great masters of theoretical perspective and he was the first to teach both the "costruzione legittima" of Alberti and the distance-point construction of Pelerin, and to show that both had identical results.

 Encyclopedia: Corinthian order
The mid-16th century Italians, especially Sebastiano Serlio and Vignola, who established a canonic version of the orders, thought they detected a "Composite order," combining the volutes of the Ionic with the foliage of the Corinthian, but in Roman practice volutes were almost always present.
The five orders, engraving from Vignolas Regole delle cinque ordini darchitettura set the standards Giacomo (or Jacopo) Barozzi da Vignola (Vignola, near Modena, October 1, 1507 - July 7, 1573) was one of the great Italian architects of 16th century Mannerism, also known as Vignola.
Sebastiano Serlio ; the Regola delli cinque ordini of Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola (1507-1573); the Quattro libri di Architettura of Andrea Palladio, and Vincenzo Scamozzi 's Idea della Architettura Universale, were followed in the 17th century by French treatises with further refined engraved models, such as Perrault's.

Kardinal Giovan Francesco Gambara da Brescia entschloss sich knapp hundert Jahre später, den herrschaftlichen Landsitz unter der Leitung von Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola zu einer Villa umbauen zu lassen.
Das läßt sich leicht in der Villa selbst überprüfen, an dem Fresko in der Loggia des Casino Gambara: Hier sieht man eine Vedute der Villa aus dem 16.
Das komplexe Bildprogramm wurde von den Gelehrten des Kardinals (Annibale Caro und Onofrio Panvinio) erdacht: es handelt sich dabei um eine Apotheose und Glorifizierung der Familie Farnese.

This is essential in that Vignola is the primer of the architectural student.
Both the decision to rely on commensurable ratios and Vignola's formulation of the canon are thus empirically derived on the basis of common judgment.
Clearly, given the fact that Vignola includes entasis in his treatise, he feels it is an example of one of the optical corrections that should be made.

If the Ionic order is to be made without pedestals, the total height had to be divided into 22 1/2 parts, one of which will be taken as the module and divided into 18 parts.
In contrast to other authors Vignola takes half the lower diameter of the column as his module.
When we look at these figures it becomes clear that Vignola followed Vitruvius for the major parts (height of the base, height of the plinth, height of the torus) almost literally.

 Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola
Oktober 1507 in Vignola bei Modena geboren, studierte Malerei und Architektur in Bologna und ließ sich 1530 in Rom nieder.
Für viele Architekten des Barock war Vignola ein wichtiges Vorbild, vor allem die Jesuitenkirche Il Gesù in Rom, 1568 begonnen, sollte auf die europäische Sakralbaukunst nachhaltig wirken: Der Grundriß verbindet den Zentralraum der Renaissance mit dem Langhausschema des Mittelalters, wobei die Seitenschiffe durch einen Kapellenkranz ersetzt sind.
Von 1567 bis zu seinem Tod war Vignola leitender Architekt des Petersdomes in Nachfolge Michelangelos.
