QUATTROCENTO:\u00a0 Italian Renaissance Architecture
\nThe characteristics of Italian Renaissance architecture were adapted from Classical Roman architecture.\u00a0 The forms, purposes of buildings, and structures of cities have changed over time.\u00a0 Renaissance architecture, too, has changed to meet these needs.
\nThe plans of Renaissance buildings have a square and geometric pattern and are based on a module.\u00a0 The module in a church is usually the width of an aisle. The need to amalgamate the design of a plan with the front of a building became an issue for architect Filippo Brunelleschi.\u00a0 But, his plan for unification never was realized.
\nThe first building to display the module plan was St. Andrea in Mantova –designed by architect Alberti.\u00a0 The evolution of the plan was to take place in the 16th<\/sup> century and the work was done by the architect Palladio.
\nCommisioned by Ludovico Il Gonzaga, the Basilica di Sant\u2019Andrea is a Renaissance church in Mantova in \u00a0Lombardia Region of\u00a0 Italy.\u00a0 It was built in 1472 according to the designs of architect, Leon Battista Alberti.\u00a0 It was constructed on a site occupied by a Benedictine monastery.\u00a0 The bell tower of the monastery is the only thing that remains of the original building.\u00a0 The purpose of the new building was to house pilgrims who visited during the Feast of the Ascension.
