Dal Brunelleschi al Bernini, attraverso Michelangelo: il "canneto".

'Analyzes a passage in a letter (1661) from Lodovico De Vecchi to Leopoldo de' Medici on Bernini's colonnade (Rome, Vatican, S. Peter's), then under construction. De Vecchi reveals that Michelangelo used the term "canneto" (growth of reeds) in a negative sense to describe the effects of the columns in Brunelleschi's church of S. Spirito, Florence (S. Spirito was finished by later architects who altered Brunelleschi's design), and he (De Vecchi) recycles the term to criticize the effect of Bernini's colonnade' (BHA).
