The large use of the ‘rustic order’ in architectural projects and
realizations by Giulio Romano is a formal leit motiv displaying a varied
range of meanings. In the brilliant drawings for the Porta del Te such
stylistic solution is shown in the combination of Doric order and
rustication, whereas in the Rustica of the Ducal Palace in Mantua, Pippi
takes its expressive potency to a new level through a nearly paroxysmal
use. In articulating the façade of his last house Mantua as a fake
‘galleria’, almost as if trying to stress its function as a receptacle for his
art and antiquity collection – also remembered by Vasari – Giulio seems
to make reference not to the ancient temple or domus, but rather to the
thick, pressingly-paced arcades of Roman aqueducts, thus following the
example of the façade of Palazzo Pitti in Florence, whose frankness and
grandiosity are even closer to such precedent.
