QA180 - The Tempietto San Pietro in Montorio (Saint Peter on the Golden Hill) near Rome
Fig. 180 (p. 238) - The church of S. Pietro in Montorio.
The Tempietto San Pietro in Montorio (Saint Peter on the Golden Hill) near Rome is one of the few examples of a Renaissance church following a pure circular design. The small church is situated in the monastery of S. Pietro and was built by Donato Bramante (1444 – 1514) in 1502 (fig. 180). The architect came to Rome around 1500 and Pope Julius II had asked him to design a new St. Peter Cathedral. Soon Bramante earned himself the nickname ‘Il Ruinante’ (the ruiner) because he took his job seriously and destroyed a fourth century basilica. However, in the small church dedicated to St. Peter he created a building, which ‘is considered by many art historians to be the finest example of Italian High Renaissance architecture’ (HAGER, 1997).
