Saint Uberto in Venaria Reale: a case study in the International Baroque network
The church by Filippo Juvarra at Venaria Reale is taken here as a case study in the dense network of
relationships arose in the international phase of Baroque architecture, the early Eighteen Century. In this
context, new perspectives can take shape on apparently well-known works. In particular, a remote dialogue
between Juvarra and Fischer von Erlach can be detected in reference to the two-level chapels common to
the Venaria church, the Kollegienkirche at Salzburg and the Karlskirche at Wien. More important is to
pay attention to distinguish direct relationships from parallel processes, in order to outline a history of
Italian architecture in an European context.
