helicoidal staircases

Formal innnovations in two sixteenth-century helicoidal staicases of Vignola and Mascarino

Some recent personal studies on the most representative helicoidal staircases of the Renaissance and Baroque were an opportunity to compare two emblematic figures of the '500 Italian, Vignola and Mascarino. The first is known to all, the second is certainly less well known though new historical studies are re-evaluating his work also as architect.
