Bartolomeo Triachini or Bartolomeo Tassi (1516-1587) was a Bolognese architect.
Life
Little is recorded about Triachini's life other than documents about his work. Triachini was a member of a charitable foundation, to which the painter Prospero Fontana (father of Lavinia Fontana) also belonged, that provided poor relief to parishioners.[1] The Via Bartolomeo Triachini, a road in Bologna, is named after him.[2]
Work
Triachini's work followed local tradition, and in some ways was similar to that Domenico Tibaldi (1541-1583).[3] His buildings combined classical simplicity and grandeur in their lines, as exemplified by the facade of the Palazzo Sanguinetti. He was often mentioned in documents about San Michele in Bosco and the monastery of the Trinity, since destroyed.[4]
Triachini was responsible for the design of the Palazzo Lambertini, which was started around 1541 and completed in 1630.[5] He created the court of the Palazzo Celesi, now part of the university.[6] The design of the majestic and beautiful Palazzo Bentivoglio (1551) is attributed to Triachini.[7] The Palazzo Nuovo, beside the complex of Rocca Isolani in the commune of Minerbio to the northeast of Bologna, was designed by Triachini with a faςade that features the motif of a loggia. This would become a common element of villas built in this period.[8]
Other works in Bologna that have been attributed to him include the Palazzo Poggi (1549), Palazzo Vizzani (1549-1562) and Palazzo Malvezzi de' Medici (1560).[3] He was apparently given the commission for the Palazzo Poggi by the Bishop Giovanni Poggi shortly before he was elevated to Cardinal.[9][lower-alpha 1] However, other sources attribute the design of the Palazzo Poggi, which was built between 1549 and 1560, to Pellegrino Tibaldi.[11] The Palazzo Malvezzi dates back to the 12th century. It was rebuilt after Triachini's design, with the work starting in 1560. The building is now the seat of the Provincial administration.[12]
