Il contributo approfondisce la situazione italiana successiva al Conciclio Vaticano II (1963) e alcuni importanti esempi di aggiornamento liturgico: restauri, interventi conservativi o nuovi progetti, tutti basati su un linguaggio architettonico diversificato ispirato allo studio e alla conoscenza della storia, dell'architettura, dell'arte, della liturgia e della loro sinergia. La Costituzione Apostolica Sacrosanctum Concilium, uno dei quattro documenti del Concilio Vaticano II, è stata un riferimento fondamentale per i progetti di trasformazione del presbiterio e dell'architettura delle chiese cattoliche. La Chiesa e l'architettura sacra, aggiornando continuamente lo spazio sacro, hanno sempre saputo affrontare i diversi climi culturali e le mutate esigenze rituali. Nel corso dei secoli ciò ha portato alla costruzione di edifici complessi in cui il disegno spaziale e architettonico ha trasformato le idee dottrinali in architettura. Il Concilio degli anni Sessanta è stato uno spartiacque che ha prodotto importanti modifiche presbiteriali, rievocando vicende di un lontano passato considerate pietre miliari della storia dell'architettura e dell'evoluzione liturgica degli edifici sacri.

Abstract
This contribution analyses the post Vatican II (1963) situation in Italy and important examples of liturgical upgrading; the upgrades include restoration, conservation or new designs, all based on a diversified architectural language inspired by the study and knowledge of history, architecture, art, liturgy, and the synergy between them. The Apostolic Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, one of the four Second Vatican Council documents, was a key reference for transformation projects involving the presbytery and architecture of catholic churches. By continuously updating the sacred space both the Church and sacred architecture have always skilfully addressed different cultural climates and changes in ritual requirements. Throughout the centuries this led to the construction of complex buildings in which spatial and architectural design transformed doctrinal ideas into architecture. The Council held in sixties was a watershed that produced many important changes and in-depth deliberations, conjuring up events of the distant past considered as milestones in the history of architecture and the liturgical evolution of sacred buildings.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
