Previously, the Baroque style had been used on the island in a naïve and <a href="/wiki/Parochialism" title="Parochialism">parochial</a> manner, having evolved from <a href="/wiki/Cross-genre" class="mw-redirect" title="Cross-genre">hybrid</a> native architecture rather than being derived from the great Baroque architects of Rome. After the earthquake, local architects, many of them trained in Rome, were given plentiful opportunities to recreate the more sophisticated Baroque architecture that had become popular in mainland Italy; the work of these local architects – and the new genre of architectural <a href="/wiki/Engraving" title="Engraving">engravings</a> that they pioneered – inspired more local architects to follow their lead. Around 1730, Sicilian architects had developed a confidence in their use of the Baroque style. Their particular interpretation led to further evolution to a personalised and highly localised art form on the island. From the 1780s onwards, the style was gradually replaced by the newly fashionable <a href="/wiki/Neoclassical_architecture" title="Neoclassical architecture">neoclassicism</a>. The highly decorative Sicilian Baroque period lasted barely fifty years, and perfectly reflected the <a href="/wiki/Social_order" title="Social order">social order</a> of the island at a time when, nominally ruled by Spain, it was in fact governed by a wealthy and often extravagant <a href="/wiki/Aristocracy" title="Aristocracy">aristocracy</a> into whose hands ownership of the primarily agricultural economy was <a href="/wiki/Concentration_of_land_ownership" title="Concentration of land ownership">highly concentrated</a>. Its Baroque architecture gives the island an architectural character that has lasted into the 21st century. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characteristics">Characteristics</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Baroque&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Characteristics">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg/170px-Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg/255px-Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg/340px-Catane_Universit%C3%A9.jpg 2x" data-file-width="768" data-file-height="1024" /></a><figcaption>Illustration 2: <a href="/wiki/University_of_Catania" title="University of Catania">University of Catania</a>, designed by <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Vaccarini" title="Giovanni Battista Vaccarini">Vaccarini</a> and completed by 1752, exemplifies typical Sicilian Baroque, with putti supporting the balcony, <a href="/wiki/Wrought_iron" title="Wrought iron">wrought iron</a> balustrades, decorated <a href="/wiki/Rustication_(architecture)" title="Rustication (architecture)">rustication</a> and two-tone <a href="/wiki/Lava" title="Lava">lava</a> masonry – a reversal of the more conventional rusticated walls and smooth pilasters</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg/170px-Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg/255px-Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg/340px-Ragusa_-_Comune_di_Ragusa_-_2023-09-27_14-18-23_009.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2940" data-file-height="3920" /></a><figcaption>Illustration 3: A Sicilian <a href="/wiki/Belfry_(architecture)" class="mw-redirect" title="Belfry (architecture)">belfry</a> crowns <a href="/wiki/Rosario_Gagliardi" title="Rosario Gagliardi">Rosario Gagliardi</a>'s <a href="/wiki/San_Giuseppe,_Ragusa" title="San Giuseppe, Ragusa">Church of San Giuseppe</a> in <a href="/wiki/Ragusa,_Italy" class="mw-redirect" title="Ragusa, Italy">Ragusa Ibla</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Porta_Grazia_(Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg/220px-Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="233" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg/330px-Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg/440px-Porta_Grazia_%28Domenico_Biundo_and_Antonio_Amato%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="769" data-file-height="814" /></a><figcaption>Illustration 4: Messina's Porta Grazia, with its <a href="/wiki/Molding_(decorative)" title="Molding (decorative)">mouldings</a>, scrolls and masks was widely copied all over <a href="/wiki/Catania" title="Catania">Catania</a> immediately following the quake.</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Baroque_architecture" title="Baroque architecture">Baroque architecture</a> is a European phenomenon originating in 17th-century Italy;

However, even at this early stage, provincial architects had begun to incorporate certain vernacular features of Sicily's older architecture. By the middle of the 18th century, when Sicily's Baroque architecture was noticeably different from that of the mainland, it typically included at least two or three of the following features, coupled with a unique freedom of design that is more difficult to characterise in words:<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia2015throughout-5">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt1968throughout-6">[5]</a> <ol><li>Grotesque masks and putti, often supporting <a href="/wiki/Balcony" title="Balcony">balconies</a> or decorating various bands of the <a href="/wiki/Entablature" title="Entablature">entablature</a> of a building; these grinning or glaring faces are a relic of Sicilian architecture from before the mid-17th century (Illustrations 2 and 9).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia2015throughout-5">[4]</a></li> <li>Balconies, often complemented by intricate wrought iron <a href="/wiki/Baluster" title="Baluster">balustrades</a> after 1633 (Illustrations 2 and 9), and by plainer balustrades before that date (Illustration 6).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia201555-7">[6]</a></li> <li>External staircases.

This early ornate architecture differs from that of mainland Europe in not having evolved from <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_architecture" title="Renaissance architecture">Renaissance architecture</a>; instead, it was developed from Norman styles. Renaissance architecture hardly touched Sicily; in the capital city of <a href="/wiki/Palermo" title="Palermo">Palermo</a>, the only remnant of the High Renaissance is the <a href="/wiki/Fontana_Pretoria" title="Fontana Pretoria">Fontana Pretoria</a>, a water fountain originally made for Don Pietro di Toleda by Florentine artists Franscesco Cammilliani and Michelangelo Naccerino<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEValdés200021-23">[22]</a> and brought to Sicily when it was already 20 years old (Illustration 5).<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> Whatever the reason that Renaissance style never became popular in Sicily, it was certainly not ignorance. <a href="/wiki/Antonello_Gagini" title="Antonello Gagini">Antonello Gagini</a> was midway through constructing the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Church_of_Santa_Maria_di_Porto_Salvo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Church of Santa Maria di Porto Salvo (page does not exist)">Church of Santa Maria di Porto Salvo</a> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di_Santa_Maria_di_Porto_Salvo" class="extiw" title="it:Chiesa di Santa Maria di Porto Salvo">it</a>] in 1536 in the Renaissance style when he died; he was superseded by the architect <a href="/wiki/Antonio_Scaglione" title="Antonio Scaglione">Antonio Scaglione</a>, who completed the building in a Norman style.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196812-14">[13]</a> This style seems to have influenced Sicilian architecture almost up to the time of the 1693 earthquake. Even <a href="/wiki/Mannerism" title="Mannerism">Mannerism</a> passed the island by.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196813-25">[24]</a> Only in the architecture of <a href="/wiki/Messina" title="Messina">Messina</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[b]</a> could a Renaissance influence be discerned, partly for geographical reasons: within sight of mainland Italy and the most important port in Sicily, Messina was always more amenable to the prevailing tides of fashion outside the island. The town's aristocratic patrons would often call on Florence or Rome to provide them with an architect; one example was the Florentine <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Angelo_Montorsoli" title="Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli">Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli</a>, who established the <a href="/wiki/Tuscany" title="Tuscany">Tuscan</a> styles of architecture and sculpture there in the mid-16th century.

Less than a century after his family had begun to cautiously decorate the island's churches (1531–1537), Antonello Gagini completed the <a href="/wiki/Proscenium" title="Proscenium">proscenium</a>-like arch of the "Capella della Madonna" in the "Santuario dell'Annunziata" at <a href="/wiki/Trapani" title="Trapani">Trapani</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt1968145-32">[30]</a> This pedimented arch to the sanctuary has <a href="/wiki/Pilaster" title="Pilaster">pilasters</a> – not <a href="/wiki/Fluting_(architecture)" title="Fluting (architecture)">fluted</a>, but decorated heavily with relief <a href="/wiki/Bust_(sculpture)" title="Bust (sculpture)">busts</a> of the saints; and, most importantly in terms of architecture, the pediment is adorned by reclining <a href="/wiki/Saint" title="Saint">saints</a> supporting <a href="/wiki/Garland_(decoration)" class="mw-redirect" title="Garland (decoration)">swags</a> linked to the central <a href="/wiki/Escutcheon_(heraldry)" title="Escutcheon (heraldry)">shield</a> that crowns the pediment.

While the majority of those buildings that can be clearly classified as Baroque in style date from around 1650, the scarcity of these isolated, surviving examples of Sicily's 17th-century architectural history makes it hard to fully and accurately evaluate the architecture immediately before the natural disaster: the earthquake destroyed not only most of the buildings, but also most of their documentation. Yet more has been lost in subsequent earthquakes and severe bombing during World War II.<a href="#cite_note-35">[33]</a> The earliest example of Baroque on the island is <a href="/wiki/Giulio_Lasso" title="Giulio Lasso">Giulio Lasso</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Quattro_Canti" title="Quattro Canti">Quattro Canti</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Octagon" title="Octagon">octagonal</a> <a href="/wiki/Piazza" class="mw-redirect" title="Piazza">piazza</a>, or circus, constructed around 1610 at the <a href="/wiki/Intersection_(road)" title="Intersection (road)">intersection</a> of the city's two principal streets.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGalluzzi2005198-36">[34]</a> Around this intersection are four open sides, being the streets, and four matching buildings with identical <a href="/wiki/Cant_(architecture)" title="Cant (architecture)">canted</a> corners. The sides of the four buildings are curved, further heightening the Baroque design of the buildings lining the circus.

This was led by the <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Lanza" title="Giuseppe Lanza">Duke of Camastra</a>, whom the Spanish had appointed <a href="/wiki/Viceroy" title="Viceroy">viceroy</a> to appease the aristocracy, who were numerous.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198227–29-43">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia201554-44">[42]</a> The aristocracy was relatively concentrated compared to most of Europe, and a <a href="/wiki/Gentry" title="Gentry">gentry</a> class was missing. In the 18th century, one estimate held that there were 228 noble families, who provided Sicily with a <a href="/wiki/Ruling_class" title="Ruling class">ruling class</a> consisting of 58 princes, 27 dukes, 37 marquesses, 26 counts, one viscount and 79 barons; the Golden Book of the Sicilian nobility (last published in 1926) lists even more.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen20018-45">[43]</a> In addition to these were the younger <a href="/wiki/Kinship_and_descent" class="mw-redirect" title="Kinship and descent">scions</a> of the families, with their courtesy titles of nobile or <a href="/wiki/Baron" title="Baron">baron</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPuleo201426-46">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-48">[c]</a> Architecture was not the only legacy of the <a href="/wiki/Normans" title="Normans">Normans</a>. Rule over the peasants (there was no established middle class) was also enforced by a <a href="/wiki/Feudal_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Feudal system">feudal system</a>, unchanged since its introduction following the <a href="/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_southern_Italy#Conquest_of_Sicily,_1061–1091" title="Norman conquest of southern Italy">Norman conquest of 1071</a>. Thus, the Sicilian aristocracy had at their command not only wealth but vast manpower, something that had by this time declined in many other parts of Europe. As in Southern Spain, the huge rural estates remained almost as concentrated as when they had been Roman latifundi. The Sicilian economy, though very largely agriculturally based, was very strong, and became more so during the 18th century as shipping became more efficient and the threat of Muslim piracy died away. The export markets for lemons<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDavis200633-49">[46]</a> (for the great 18th century fashion for lemonade) and wines increased greatly, and Sicilian wheat remained, as it had been since Roman times, the backbone of the economy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmataLicitraMormorio200024-50">[47]</a> The disaster that was to give Sicily its modern reputation of poverty, namely the opening-up of the American Midwest to wheat-farming, was a century away. When it came, this permanently cut the price of wheat to less than half, and destroyed the old economy forever.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchneider1996118-51">[48]</a> The aristocracy shared their power only with the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholic Church">Roman Catholic Church</a>. The Church ruled by fear of damnation in the next life and of the <a href="/wiki/Inquisition" title="Inquisition">Inquisition</a> in the present, and consequently both upper and lower classes gave as generously as they could on all major saints' days. Many priests and bishops were members of the aristocracy. The wealth of the Church in Sicily was further enhanced by the tradition of pressing younger children of the aristocracy to enter <a href="/wiki/Monastery" title="Monastery">monasteries</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convent" title="Convent">convents</a>, in order to preserve the family <a href="/wiki/Estate_(land)" title="Estate (land)">estates</a> from division; however, this was seldom a cheap option as expenses and an ongoing "onerous maintenance" had to be paid to the Church.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen200146-52">[49]</a> Thus, the wealth of certain religious orders grew out of all proportion to the economic growth of any other group at this time. This is one of the reasons that so many of the Sicilian Baroque churches and monasteries, such as San Martino delle Scale, were rebuilt after 1693 on such a lavish scale.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt1968139-53">[50]</a> Once rebuilding began, the poor rebuilt their basic housing in the same primitive fashion as before. By contrast, the wealthiest residents, both secular and spiritual, became caught in an almost manic orgy of building. Most members of the nobility had several homes in Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-54">[d]</a> For one thing, the Spanish viceroy spent six months of the year in Palermo and six in <a href="/wiki/Catania" title="Catania">Catania</a>, holding court in each city, and hence members of the aristocracy needed a town palazzo in each city. A parallel Baroque style adapted to earthquake conditions,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEReitherman2016?-55">[51]</a> called <a href="/wiki/Earthquake_Baroque" title="Earthquake Baroque">Earthquake Baroque</a>, also developed in the earthquake-prone Spanish colonies of <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemala</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a> and the Spanish administrations there gave their expertise and input to the Spanish and Sicilians in the construction of Sicilian Baroque.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBankoff201562-56">[52]</a> Once the palazzi in devastated Catania were rebuilt in the new fashion, the palazzi in Palermo seemed antiquated by comparison, so they too were eventually rebuilt. Following this, from the middle of the 18th century, villas to retire to in the autumn, essentially status symbols, were built at the fashionable <a href="/wiki/Enclave" class="mw-redirect" title="Enclave">enclave</a> at <a href="/wiki/Bagheria" title="Bagheria">Bagheria</a>. This pattern was repeated, on a smaller scale, throughout the lesser cities of Sicily, each city providing a more entertaining social life and a magnetic draw for the provincial aristocrat than their country estate. The country estate also did not escape the building mania. Often Baroque wings or new façades were added to ancient castles, or country villas were completely rebuilt. Thus, the frenzy of building gained momentum until the increasingly fantastical Baroque architecture demanded by these hedonistic patrons reached its zenith in the mid-18th century.<a href="#cite_note-57">[53]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_cities">New cities</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Baroque&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: New cities">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG/220px-Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG/330px-Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG/440px-Syrakus_BW_2012-10-06_14-43-38.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3232" data-file-height="2518" /></a><figcaption>Illustration 8: Piazza del Duomo, <a href="/wiki/Syracuse,_Italy" class="mw-redirect" title="Syracuse, Italy">Syracuse</a>.

The Viceroy, the <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Lanza" title="Giuseppe Lanza">Duke of Camastra</a>, aware of new trends in town planning, decreed that rather than rebuilding in the medieval plan of cramped narrow streets, the new rebuilding would offer <a href="/wiki/Piazza" class="mw-redirect" title="Piazza">piazze</a> and wider main streets, often on a rational <a href="/wiki/Grid_plan" title="Grid plan">grid plan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBohigasBuchananLampugnani19919-58">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia201554-44">[42]</a> The whole plan was often to take a geometric shape such as a perfect square or a <a href="/wiki/Hexagon" title="Hexagon">hexagon</a>, typical of Renaissance and Baroque town planning.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFacarosPauls2008232-59">[55]</a> The city of <a href="/wiki/Grammichele" title="Grammichele">Grammichele</a> is an example of these new cities rebuilt to a hexagonal plan.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAndrewsBrown2002448-60">[56]</a> This concept was still very new in the 1690s, and few new cities had had reason to be built in Europe – <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Wren" title="Christopher Wren">Christopher Wren</a>'s city plan after the <a href="/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London" title="Great Fire of London">Great Fire of London</a> in 1666 having been turned down because of the complexities of land ownership there.<a href="#cite_note-61">[57]</a> There were some other examples such as <a href="/wiki/Richelieu,_Indre-et-Loire" title="Richelieu, Indre-et-Loire">Richelieu</a>, and later <a href="/wiki/Saint_Petersburg" title="Saint Petersburg">Saint Petersburg</a>. The prototype may well have been the new city of <a href="/wiki/Terra_del_Sole" title="Terra del Sole">Terra del Sole</a>, constructed in 1564. Another of the first towns to be planned using symmetry and order rather than an evolution of small alleys and streets was <a href="/wiki/Alessandria" title="Alessandria">Alessandria</a> in southern <a href="/wiki/Piedmont" title="Piedmont">Piedmont</a>. A little later, from 1711, this Baroque form of planning was favoured in the Hispanic colonies of South America, especially by the Portuguese in Brazil.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJackson200613-62">[58]</a> In other parts of Europe, lack of finance, complex land ownership and divided public opinion made radical replanning after disaster too difficult: after 1666, London was rebuilt on its ancient plan, though new extensions to the west were partially on a grid system. In Sicily, public opinion (that of anyone outside the ruling class) counted for nothing, and hence these seemingly revolutionary new concepts of town planning could be freely executed.<a href="#cite_note-63">[e]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198227-64">[59]</a> In Sicily, the decision was taken not just for fashion and appearance but also because it would minimise the damage to property and life likely to be caused in future quakes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198230-65">[60]</a> In 1693, the cramped housing and streets had caused buildings to collapse together like dominoes. Although after the earthquake the avenues were broadened and the density of housing was lowered overall, cramped and narrow areas of housing still remained, posing a hazard for the poor.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECoburnSpence2003169-66">[61]</a> Architecturally and aesthetically, the big advantage of the new order of town planning was that unlike many Italian towns and cities, where one frequently encounters a monumental Renaissance church squeezed terrace-fashion between incongruous neighbours, in urban Baroque design one can step back and actually see the architecture in a more conducive setting in relation to its proportions and perspective. This is most notable in the largely rebuilt towns of <a href="/wiki/Caltagirone" title="Caltagirone">Caltagirone</a>, <a href="/wiki/Militello_in_Val_di_Catania" title="Militello in Val di Catania">Militello in Val di Catania</a>, <a href="/wiki/Catania" title="Catania">Catania</a>, <a href="/wiki/Modica" title="Modica">Modica</a>, <a href="/wiki/Noto" title="Noto">Noto</a>, <a href="/wiki/Palazzolo_Acreide" title="Palazzolo Acreide">Palazzolo Acreide</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ragusa,_Italy" class="mw-redirect" title="Ragusa, Italy">Ragusa</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Scicli" title="Scicli">Scicli</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGulloBattaglia2015throughout-5">[4]</a> One of the finest examples of this new urban planning can be seen at <a href="/wiki/Noto" title="Noto">Noto</a> (Illustration 9), the town rebuilt approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from its original site on <a href="/wiki/Mount_Alveria" title="Mount Alveria">Mount Alveria</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198225-67">[62]</a> The old ruined town now known as "Noto Antica" can still be viewed in its ruinous state.

The church was placed in the town centre (Illustration 8), both for convenience to all and to reflect the church's global and central position; round the pairing of cathedral and <a href="/wiki/Bishop" title="Bishop">episcopal</a> palazzo vescovile were built the convents. The merchants and storekeepers chose their lots on the planned wider streets leading from the main piazza. Finally, the poor were allowed to erect their simple brick huts and houses in the areas nobody else wanted. Lawyers, doctors, and members of the few professions including the more skilled artisans – those who fell between the strictly defined upper and lower class – and were able to afford building plots, often lived on the periphery of the commercial and upper class residential sectors, but equally often these people just lived in a larger or grander house than their neighbours in the poorer areas. However, many of the skilled artists working on the rebuilding lived as part of the extended households of their patrons. In this way Baroque town planning came to symbolise and reflect political authority, and later its style and philosophy spread as far as <a href="/wiki/Annapolis,_Maryland" title="Annapolis, Maryland">Annapolis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Savannah,_Georgia" title="Savannah, Georgia">Savannah</a> in English America,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKornwolf200250-72">[66]</a> and most notably <a href="/wiki/Haussmann%27s_renovation_of_Paris" title="Haussmann's renovation of Paris">Haussmann's 19th century re-designing of Paris</a>. The stage was now set for the explosion of Baroque architecture, which was to predominate in Sicily until the early 19th century.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVarriano1986285-73">[67]</a> Later, many other Sicilian towns and cities which had been either little damaged or completely untouched by the earthquake, such as Palermo, were also transformed by the Baroque style, as the fashion spread and aristocrats with a palazzo in Catania came to wish their palazzo in the capital were as opulent as that in the second city. In Palermo the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Church_of_Santa_Caterina&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Church of Santa Caterina (page does not exist)">Church of Santa Caterina</a> [<a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di_Santa_Caterina_(Palermo)" class="extiw" title="it:Chiesa di Santa Caterina (Palermo)">it</a>], began in 1566, was one of many in the city to be redecorated inside in the 18th century in the Baroque style, with coloured <a href="/wiki/Marble" title="Marble">marbles</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMuirhead1959179-74">[68]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_churches_and_palazzi">New churches and palazzi</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Baroque&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: New churches and palazzi">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg/170px-Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg/255px-Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg/340px-Il_duomo_da_Palazzo_Castro-Polara_Grimaldi.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3024" data-file-height="4032" /></a><figcaption>Illustration 10: <a href="/wiki/San_Giorgio_Cathedral,_Modica" title="San Giorgio Cathedral, Modica">Cathedral of San Giorgio</a>, <a href="/wiki/Modica" title="Modica">Modica</a></figcaption></figure> Of Sicily's own form of Baroque, post-1693, it has been said, "The buildings conceived in the wake of this disaster expressed a light-hearted freedom of decoration whose incongruous gaiety was intended, perhaps, to assuage the horror".<a href="#cite_note-75">[69]</a> While this is an accurate description of a style which is almost a celebration of joie de vivre in stone, it is unlikely to be the reason for the choice. As with all architectural styles, the selection of style would have directly linked to current fashion. <a href="/wiki/Palace_of_Versailles" title="Palace of Versailles">Versailles</a> had been completed in 1688 in a far sterner Baroque style; <a href="/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis XIV of France">Louis XIV</a>'s new palace was immediately emulated across Europe by any aristocrat or sovereign in Europe aspiring to wealth, taste, or power.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENolan2008233-76">[70]</a> Thus, it was the obvious choice for the "homeless rich" of Sicily, of whom there were hundreds. The excesses of the Baroque-style palazzi and country villas to be constructed in Sicily, however, were soon to make Versailles seem a model of restraint.<a href="#cite_note-77">[71]</a> As the 18th century dawned, Sicilian architects were employed to create the new palazzi and churches. These architects, often local, were able to design in a more sophisticated style than those of the late 17th century: many had been trained in mainland Italy and had returned with a more detailed understanding of the Baroque idiom. Their work inspired less-travelled Sicilian designers. Very importantly, these architects were also assisted by the books of <a href="/wiki/Engraving" title="Engraving">engravings</a> by <a href="/wiki/Domenico_de%27_Rossi" title="Domenico de' Rossi">Domenico de' Rossi</a>, who for the first time wrote down text with his engravings, giving the precise dimensions and measurements of many of the principal Renaissance and Baroque façades in Rome. In this way, the Renaissance finally came late to Sicily by proxy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt19689-78">[72]</a> At this stage of its development, Sicilian Baroque still lacked the freedom of style that it was later to acquire. <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Vaccarini" title="Giovanni Battista Vaccarini">Giovanni Battista Vaccarini</a> was the leading Sicilian architect during this period. He arrived on the island in 1730 bringing with him a fusion of the concepts of <a href="/wiki/Gian_Lorenzo_Bernini" title="Gian Lorenzo Bernini">Bernini</a> and <a href="/wiki/Francesco_Borromini" title="Francesco Borromini">Borromini</a>, and introduced to the island's architecture a unified movement and a play of curves, which would have been unacceptable in Rome itself. However, his works are considered of lesser quality than those which were to come.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt1968-79">[73]</a> Notable works which date from this period are the 18th century wings of the <a href="/wiki/Palazzo_Biscari" title="Palazzo Biscari">Palazzo Biscari</a> at Catania and Vaccarini's <a href="/wiki/Catania_Cathedral" title="Catania Cathedral">Cattedrale di Sant'Agata</a>, also in Catania. On this building Vaccarini quite clearly copied the <a href="/wiki/Capital_(architecture)" title="Capital (architecture)">capitals</a> from <a href="/wiki/Camillo-Guarino_Guarini" class="mw-redirect" title="Camillo-Guarino Guarini">Guarino Guarini</a>'s Architettura Civile. It is this frequent copying of established designs that causes the architecture from this period, while opulent, also to be disciplined and almost reined in. The style of Vaccarini, appointed City Architect in 1736, was to dominate Catania for the next decades.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVarriano1986288-80">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196821-81">[75]</a> A second hindrance to Sicilian architects' fully achieving their potential earlier was that frequently they were only rebuilding a damaged structure, and as a consequence having to match their designs to what had been before, or remained. The <a href="/wiki/Cathedral_of_San_Giorgio,_Modica" class="mw-redirect" title="Cathedral of San Giorgio, Modica">Cathedral of San Giorgio</a> at <a href="/wiki/Modica" title="Modica">Modica</a> (Illustration 10) is an example. It was badly damaged in an earthquake of 1613, rebuilt in 1643 in a Baroque style while keeping the medieval layout, then damaged again in 1693. Rebuilding again began in 1702, by an unknown architect; <a href="/wiki/Rosario_Gagliardi" title="Rosario Gagliardi">Rosario Gagliardi</a> oversaw the façade's completion in 1760,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt1968150-82">[76]</a> There were also other influences at work at this time. Between 1718 and 1734 Sicily was ruled personally by <a href="/wiki/Charles_VI,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles VI</a> from <a href="/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a>, and as a result close ties with Austrian architecture can be perceived. Several buildings on the island are shameless imitations of the works of <a href="/wiki/Johann_Bernhard_Fischer_von_Erlach" title="Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach">Fischer von Erlach</a>, who had begun to rebuild <a href="/wiki/Sch%C3%B6nbrunn_Palace" title="Schönbrunn Palace">Schönbrunn Palace</a> in 1686 in a simple form of Baroque;<a href="#cite_note-83">[77]</a> this form was later to be reproduced in Sicily in the final years of its Baroque era. The palace also had an external staircase (removed in 1746) similar to those that later evolved in Sicily.

This new generation had watched the rebuilding in the Baroque, and studied the engravings and architectural books and treatises arriving ever more frequently from the mainland. However, they were not like their predecessors (the former students of the Romans), and consequently were able to formulate strong individual styles of their own. They included <a href="/wiki/Andrea_Palma" title="Andrea Palma">Andrea Palma</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rosario_Gagliardi" title="Rosario Gagliardi">Rosario Gagliardi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tommaso_Napoli" title="Tommaso Napoli">Tommaso Napoli</a>.<a href="#cite_note-87">[g]</a> While taking account of the Baroque of Naples and Rome, they now adapted their designs for the local needs and traditions. Their use of resources and exploitation of the sites was often wildly inventive. Napoli and then Vaccarini had promoted the use of the external staircase, which was now taken to a new dimension: hilltop churches would be reached by fantastical flights of steps evoking Vaccarini's mentor <a href="/wiki/Francesco_de_Sanctis_(architect)" title="Francesco de Sanctis (architect)">Francesco de Sanctis</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Steps" title="Spanish Steps">Spanish Steps</a> in Rome.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196822-88">[81]</a> Façades of churches often came to resemble <a href="/wiki/Wedding_cake" title="Wedding cake">wedding cakes</a> rather than places of worship as the architects grew in confidence, competence, and stature.<a href="#cite_note-90">[h]</a> Church interiors, which until this date had been slightly pedestrian, came especially in Palermo to be decorated in a riot of inlaid marbles of a wide variety of colours. <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Blunt" title="Anthony Blunt">Anthony Blunt</a> has described this decoration as "either fascinating or repulsive, but however the individual spectator may react to it, this style is a characteristic manifestation of Sicilian exuberance, and must be classed amongst the most important and original creations of Baroque art on the island".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196810-91">[83]</a> This is the key to Sicilian Baroque: it was ideally matched to the Sicilian personality, and this was the reason it evolved so dramatically on the island.

Ragusa Superiore was replanned following 1693 around the cathedral and displays an unusual phenomenon of Sicilian Baroque: the palazzi here are peculiar to this town, of only two storeys and long, with the central bay only emphasised by a balcony and an arch to the inner garden. This very Portuguese style, probably designed to minimise damage in future earthquakes, is very different from the palazzi in Ragusa Ibla, which are in true Sicilian style. Unusually, Baroque lingered on here until the early 19th century.

As the post-earthquake churches were becoming completed in the late 1720s, interiors also began to reflect this external decoration, becoming lighter and less intense (compare illustration 14 to the later interior of illustration 15), with profuse sculpted ornamentation of pillars, cornices, and pediments, often in the form of putti, flora, and fauna. Inlaid coloured marbles on floors and walls in complex patterns are one of the most defining features of the style.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBlunt196832-107">[99]</a> These patterns with their roundels of <a href="/wiki/Porphyry_(geology)" title="Porphyry (geology)">porphyry</a> are often derived from designs found in the Norman cathedrals of Europe, again demonstrating the Norman origins of Sicilian architecture. The high altar is usually the pièce de resistance: in many instances a single block of coloured marble, decorated with gilt scrolls and <a href="/wiki/Festoon" title="Festoon">festoons</a>, and frequently inset with other stones such as <a href="/wiki/Lapis_lazuli" title="Lapis lazuli">lapis lazuli</a> and <a href="/wiki/Agate" title="Agate">agate</a>.

An example of this is in the church of St Zita in Palermo.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEvan_Gastel201843–49-13">[12]</a> The building of Sicily's churches would typically be funded not just by individual religious orders but also by an aristocratic family. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of Sicily's nobility did not choose to have their mortal remains displayed for eternity in the <a href="/wiki/Catacombe_dei_Cappuccini" title="Catacombe dei Cappuccini">Catacombe dei Cappuccini</a>, but were buried quite conventionally in <a href="/wiki/Burial_vault_(tomb)" title="Burial vault (tomb)">vaults</a> beneath their family churches.

For instance, those from the first half of the 17th century are of simple white marble decorated with an incised armorial bearing, name, date, etc. From <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1650, small quantities of coloured marble inlay appear, forming patterns, and this can be seen developing until, by the end of the century, the <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms" title="Coat of arms">coats of arms</a> and calligraphy are entirely of inset coloured marble, with decorative patterned borders. Long after Baroque began to fall from fashion in the 1780s, Baroque decor was still deemed more suitable for Catholic ritual than the new, pagan-based neoclassicism.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPuleo20141-109">[101]</a> The <a href="/wiki/San_Benedetto,_Catania" title="San Benedetto, Catania">Church of San Benedetto</a> in Catania (Illustration 15) is a fine example of a Sicilian Baroque interior, decorated between 1726 and 1762, the period when Sicilian Baroque was at the height of its fashion and individuality.

Many were finished with little ornate interior decoration because they took so long to build: by the time they were completed, Baroque had passed from fashion; in these cases, the principal rooms were frequently decorated in a neoclassical style influenced by the late 18th century Sicilian Anglomania and particularly an admiration of <a href="/wiki/Robert_Adam" title="Robert Adam">Robert Adam</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wedgwood" title="Wedgwood">Wedgwood pottery</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen2001139-113">[105]</a> However, in true Sicilian style, even this more chaste style would often be embellished with Baroque <a href="/wiki/Trompe-l%27%C5%93il" title="Trompe-l'œil">trompe-l'œil</a> figures and colourful Sicilian tiled floors, such as can be found at the <a href="/wiki/Villa_Spedalotto" title="Villa Spedalotto">Villa Spedalotto</a> at <a href="/wiki/Bagheria" title="Bagheria">Bagheria</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen2001139-113">[105]</a> Often a fusion of the two styles is found, as in the <a href="/wiki/Ballroom" title="Ballroom">ballroom</a> wing of the <a href="/wiki/Palazzo_Ajutamicristo" title="Palazzo Ajutamicristo">Palazzo Ajutamicristo</a> in Palermo, built by <a href="/wiki/Andrea_Giganti" title="Andrea Giganti">Andrea Giganti</a> in 1763, where the ballroom ceiling was frescoed by <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Crestadoro" title="Giuseppe Crestadoro">Giuseppe Crestadoro</a> with <a href="/wiki/Allegory" title="Allegory">allegorical</a> scenes framed by Baroque <a href="/wiki/Gilding" title="Gilding">gilded</a> motifs in <a href="/wiki/Plaster" title="Plaster">plaster</a>.

Many of the palazzi were vast; the Palazzo Biscari has 700 rooms.<a href="#cite_note-116">[108]</a> This was necessary because the household of a Sicilian aristocrat, beginning with himself, his wife and many children, would typically also contain a collection of poorer relatives and other extended family members, all of whom had minor apartments in the house.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen200116-117">[109]</a> Moreover, there were paid employees, often including a private chaplain or confessor, a <a href="/wiki/Majordomo" title="Majordomo">majordomo</a>, governesses, secretary, archivist, accountant, librarian, and innumerable lower servants, such as a porter to ring a bell a prescribed number of times according to the rank of an approaching guest.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen200116-117">[109]</a> Often the servants' extended families, especially if elderly, also lived in the palazzo.

Hence Palermo was in constant association with the principal capital <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a>, where there was architecturally a growing reversion to the more classical styles of architecture. Coupled with this, many of the more cultured Sicilian nobility developed a fashionable obsession with all things French, from philosophy to arts, fashion, and architecture.

The change in tastes did not come about overnight. Baroque remained popular on the island, but now Sicilian balconies, extravagant as ever, would be placed next to severe classical columns. Dufourny began designing in Palermo, and his "Entrance Temple" (1789) to the <a href="/wiki/Orto_botanico_di_Palermo" title="Orto botanico di Palermo">Palermo Botanical Garden</a> was the first building in Sicily in a style based on the Greek Doric order.

In 1784 he designed the Palazzo Belmonte Riso (Illustration 21), a good example of the period of architectural transition, combining both Baroque and <a href="/wiki/Neoclassical_architecture" title="Neoclassical architecture">neoclassical</a> motifs, built around an arcaded courtyard providing Baroque masses of light and shade, or chiaroscuro.<a href="#cite_note-136">[k]</a> The main façade, punctuated by giant <a href="/wiki/Pilaster" title="Pilaster">pilasters</a>, also had Baroque features, but the skyline was unbroken.

Sicilian Baroque was waning.<a href="#cite_note-137">[126]</a><a href="#cite_note-138">[127]</a> By the closing years of the 18th century, impoverished Sicily was ruled from Naples by the weak <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I_of_the_Two_Sicilies" title="Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies">Ferdinand IV</a> and his dominant wife. In 1798 and again in 1806, the King was forced by the invading French to flee Naples to Sicily. The French were only kept at bay from Sicily by an expeditionary force of 17,000 <a href="/wiki/British_Army" title="British Army">British troops</a>, and Sicily was now ruled by <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_Great_Britain_and_Ireland" title="United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland">Britain</a> in effect if not in name. King Ferdinand then in 1811 imposed Sicily's first tax, at a single stroke alienating his aristocracy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGlover2017200-139">[128]</a> However, the British influence in Sicily was to provide Sicilian Baroque with one last flourish. Marvuglia, recognising the new fashion for all things British, developed the style he had first cautiously used at Palazzo Belmonte Riso in 1784, combining some of the plainer, more solid elements of Baroque with <a href="/wiki/Palladian_architecture" title="Palladian architecture">Palladian</a> motifs rather than Palladian designs. The late Sicilian Baroque was similar in style to the Baroque popular in England at the beginning of the 18th century, popularised by Sir <a href="/wiki/John_Vanbrugh" title="John Vanbrugh">John Vanbrugh</a> with such edifices as <a href="/wiki/Blenheim_Palace" title="Blenheim Palace">Blenheim Palace</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESummerson200470–71-140">[129]</a> An example is Marvuglia's Church of San Francesco di Sales, which is almost English in its interpretation of Baroque. However, this was only a temporary success and the neoclassical style was soon dominant. Few aristocrats could now afford to build, and the new style was mainly used in public and civil buildings such as those at the Palermo Botanical Garden. Sicilian architects – even <a href="/wiki/Andrea_Giganti" title="Andrea Giganti">Andrea Giganti</a>, once a competent architect in Baroque – now began to design in the neoclassical style, but in the version of the neoclassical adopted by fashionable France. An example is his Villa Galletti at <a href="/wiki/Bagheria" title="Bagheria">Bagheria</a>, inspired by the work of <a href="/wiki/Ange-Jacques_Gabriel" title="Ange-Jacques Gabriel">Ange-Jacques Gabriel</a>. A contemporary traveller, the Comte de Borch, noted the French influence, describing the villa as "décorée à la française, avec trumeaux, boiseries légères, etc."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECaizzi1971407-141">[130]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Decline">Decline</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Baroque&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Decline">edit</a>]</div> The decline of Sicilian Baroque was inevitable. Not only were tastes changing generally, but the aristocratic money was running out.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen2001156-142">[131]</a> During the 17th century, the aristocracy had lived principally on their landed estates, tending and improving them, and as a result their income also increased. During the 18th century, the nobility gradually migrated towards the cities, in particular Palermo, to enjoy the social delights of the Viceroy's court and Catania. Their town palazzi grew in size and splendour, to the detriment of the abandoned estates, which were still expected to provide the revenue. The land agents left to run the estates over time became less efficient, or corrupt, often both. Consequently, aristocratic incomes fell.<a href="#cite_note-144">[l]</a> The aristocracy borrowed money using the estates as <a href="/wiki/Surety" title="Surety">surety</a>, until the value of the neglected estates fell below the money borrowed against them. Moreover, Sicily was by now as unstable politically as its nobility were financially.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERiall19984–5-145">[133]</a> <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I_of_the_Two_Sicilies" title="Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies">Ferdinand's</a> unpopular tax of 1811 was rescinded by the British in 1812, who then imposed a British style <a href="/wiki/Constitution" title="Constitution">constitution</a> on the island. One legal innovation of this time of particular consequence for the aristocracy was that <a href="/wiki/Creditor" title="Creditor">creditors</a>, who had previously only been able to enforce repayments of the interest on a <a href="/wiki/Loan" title="Loan">loan</a> or <a href="/wiki/Mortgage_loan" class="mw-redirect" title="Mortgage loan">mortgage</a>, could now seize property. Property began to change hands in smaller parcels at <a href="/wiki/Auction" title="Auction">auctions</a>, and consequently a land-owning <a href="/wiki/Bourgeoisie" title="Bourgeoisie">bourgeoisie</a> immediately began to flourish. Revolts against the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Bourbon" title="House of Bourbon">Bourbons</a> in 1821 and 1848 divided the nobility, and liberalism was in the air. These factors, coupled with the social and political upheaval of the following <a href="/wiki/Risorgimento" class="mw-redirect" title="Risorgimento">Risorgimento</a> in the 19th century, meant the Sicilian aristocracy was a doomed class, having to live off their capital.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen2001156-142">[131]</a> Immediately following the Risorgimento, Sicily's annexation to the new Italian state was economically disastrous for the island, in no small part due to the relaxation of foreign exchange, which was advantageous only to the more industrial north of the new kingdom, but forced the more agricultural south to compete in the North American commodity markets.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGefen2001156-142">[131]</a> Furthermore, because of their neglect and dereliction of <a href="/wiki/Noblesse_oblige" title="Noblesse oblige">noblesse oblige</a>, an essential element of the feudal system, the countryside was often ruled by bandits outside the enclosed villages, and the once grand country villas were decaying.

The Palazzo Ducezio (Illustration 19) was begun in 1746, and the ground floor with arcades creating play of light and shadow is pure Baroque. However, when a few years later the upper floor was added, despite the use of Baroque broken pediments above the windows, the neoclassical French influence is very pronounced, highlighted by the central curved bay. The Sicilian Baroque was gradually and slowly being superseded by French neoclassicism.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchank_Smith200670-147">[135]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sicilian_Baroque&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Legacy">edit</a>]</div> Sicilian Baroque is today recognised as an architectural style, largely due to the work of <a href="/wiki/Sacheverall_Sitwell" class="mw-redirect" title="Sacheverall Sitwell">Sacheverall Sitwell</a>, whose Southern Baroque Art of 1924 was the first book to appreciate the style,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198211-148">[136]</a> followed by the more academic work of Anthony Blunt in 1968.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETobriner198213-149">[137]</a> Most of the Baroque palazzi continued in private ownership throughout the 19th century, as the old aristocracy either married middle-class money or fell further into debt.
