For an alleged attribution to Bernardino Radi: two drawings for Santa Maria del Fiore already pointing to Sigmund Coccapani

Abstract

The contribution makes use of the recent publication of Mario Bevilacqua, dedicated to the projects for the facade of Santa Maria del Fiore, to pursuit an attributing hypothesis related to two anonymous drawings kept in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe of the Uffizi. Through a document analysis it is possible to cast doubt on the attribution, already suggested by critics, Sigismondo Coccapani in favor of cortonese architect Bernardino Radi.
