The only outstanding baroque architect in Venice was Baldassare Longhena (1598-1682). His fame is mainly based on the votive church of Santa Maria della Salute, whose characteristic, the domed silhouette is clearly visible. Longhena also built two of the most beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal, Ca'Pesaro oraz CaRezzonico, though in the latter he merely repeated Sansovin's forms in a modernized form.
Turin gradually took over the role of the main center of the Baroque after Rome, which previously played no major role in the development of Italian art and architecture. Carlo of Castellamonte (1560-1641) created and implemented an ambitious urban project of the city, centered in Piazza San Carlo. The arrival of the monk Guarino Guarini played an even greater role (1624-83). an architect and an outstanding mathematician. Guarini stood out among Italian architects for his interest in the Gothic style and Islamic architecture, but it was Borromini who had the greatest influence on his art. Applying his mathematical knowledge, Guarini expanded the small-scale method of the Roman architect into huge projects, takie jak College of the Nobles i Palazzo Carignano. Both San Sidone. it was built east of the cathedral as the temple of the Shroud of Turit, both San Lorenzo and San Lorenzo have fancy, conical domes and characterized by acrobatic spatial effects using a variety of shapes.
After a one-generation break. Turin attracted another outstanding architect, Philip Juvarr, a Sicilian educated in Rome (1678-1736). During his twenty-year stay in the city, he created a number of buildings - churches, palaces and holiday villas - as well as designed entire neighborhoods. The wonderfully located Basilica of Superga is a combination of a pilgrimage church and a monastery in one building and is by far the most perfect example of such a solution in Italy and a worthy rival of other buildings of this type in Central Europe. However, Juvarra's masterpiece is the Palazzina di Stupinigi. richly decorated villa using a three-axis hexagonal plan in place of the conventional rectangle.
Catastrophic earthquake in 1693 created the need for the hasty erection of new edifices in Sicily. As a result, the island is densely dotted with late-Baroque floral creations, which are the Italian equivalent of the French and German rococo styles. The architecture of these buildings is basically recreational, largely modeled on Borromini and Spanish Churriguery. The most individual architect was Giovan Battista Vaccarini (1702-68), which best contributed to Catania's urban design. Visually, however, the much smaller city with planned buildings looks even better - Noto.
