The album of Mattia De Rossi’s drawings. Projects for the Galleria Colonna ai Santi Apostoli
The study proposed here on Mattia De Rossi, a pupil of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his most trusted collaborator, is part of an investigation that the author is doing on the figure of the architect, making use of an obvious investigative tool: his drawings. In particular, the exceptional discovery of a bound volume of about 200 drawings of Mattia is a resource of great effectiveness for the study of his professional figure. Among the sheets of the collection, those relating to the construction site of the Galleria Colonna in the eponymous palace in Piazza SS. Apostoli in Rome, are presented. These drawings explain the important contribution of Mattia and the creative process that led him to the definitive version of the central hall of the gallery. The drawings are also the only graphic documents related to the project of the Galleria Colonna, now only partially known through hypothetical reconstructions. The case of the Palazzo Colonna is similar to other projects included in the volume, which enlighten us on De Rossi's career, and which explain his position in several important Roman buildings of the second half of seventeenth century
