This study examines the Canonry of Santa Maria in Vezzolano, located near Albugnano in the Province of Asti, Italy. Founded in 1095, the complex consists of a church and a cloister. Throughout its history, it served as the residence of a community of regular canons until its suppression in 1800, when part of its property became municipal ownership. After providing a historical overview of the regular canons and their way of life during the Middle Ages, this study focuses on a critical analysis of the architectural complex. In particular, it examines the building stratigraphy of the standing structures in order to identify the different construction phases and establish the chronology of the building.
Questo lavoro tratta della canonica di Santa Maria di Vezzolano presso Albugnano, in provincia di Asti. Il complesso, fondato nel 1095, si compone di una chiesa e di un chiostro. Esso fu lungo tutto il corso della sua vita la residenza di una comunità di canonici regolari fino a quando, nell’anno 1800, fu soppresso e parte dei suoi beni divennero di proprietà comunale. Dopo un primo inquadramento storico volto a chiarire chi erano e come vivevano i canonici regolari nel medioevo, l'elaborato si concentrerà sull'esame critico dei corpi di fabbrica, analizzando le stratigrafie murarie degli alzati per riconoscere le fasi di cantiere e datare l'edificio.

Abstract
This study examines the Canonry of Santa Maria in Vezzolano, located near Albugnano in the Province of Asti, Italy. Founded in 1095, the complex consists of a church and a cloister. Throughout its history, it served as the residence of a community of regular canons until its suppression in 1800, when part of its property became municipal ownership. After providing a historical overview of the regular canons and their way of life during the Middle Ages, this study focuses on a critical analysis of the architectural complex. In particular, it examines the building stratigraphy of the standing structures in order to identify the different construction phases and establish the chronology of the building.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
