espanolLa investigacion describe los principios proyectivos del espacio ilusorio de la escuela bolonesa a traves del dibujo de las perspectivas arquitectonicas de Girolamo Curti (1575-1632) y Angelo Michele Colonna (1604-1687) en el Ayuntamiento de Bolonia. En 1627 Bernardino Spada, fue designado por el Papa Urbano VIII para conducir la delegacion bolonesa y comenzo la renovacion de los apartamentos a traves del artificio ilusorio de la perspectiva. Ademas de la sala Urbana y la sala Dentone, Colonna, un joven ayudante de Curti, tambien se convertira en el protagonista de una larga estancia artistica; siendo tambien activo en Espana, donde por iniciativa de Diego Velazquez, trabajo en la corte de Felipe IV. A su regreso de Madrid dejo su ultima obra de pintura en la sala del Consejo.Los metodos de la perspectiva “di sotto in su” hicieron una representacion rigurosa del espacio ilusorio, cuyos caracteres estan presentes en esta investigacion. EnglishThe research describes the projective principles of illusory space of the Bolognese School through the representation of the architectural perspectives of GirolamoCurti (1575- 1632) and Angelo Michele Colonna (1604-1687) at the town hall of Bologna. In 1627 Cardinal Bernardino Spada was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII to drive the Bolognese delegation; he started the renovation of his apartments through the illusory artifice of perspective. In addition to the sala Urbana and the sala del Dentone, Colonna, a pupil of Curti, will become the protagonist of a long artistic season; he was also active in Spain where at the initiative of Diego Velazquez, he worked at the Court of Philip IV. Returned from Madrid he left his last masterpiece painting on the ceiling of the Council Hall. The operative methodologies “di sotto in su,” perspective, here presented, are based on the rigorous representation of the illusory space.
