La Chiesa del Gesù, modello universale
A Roma come a Vilnius, a Lucerna come a Vienna, la Chiesa del Santissimo nome di Gesù all'Argentina è assurta a prototipo delle chiese della Compagnia di Gesù e della Controriforma: concepita a navata unica per non distogliere il fedele dal celebrante. Voluta da Ignazio di Loyola, nel 1551, per mancanza di fondi fu costruita dopo la sua morte su progetto di Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola (1507-1573) trasferitosi a Roma a seguito dell'estromessione dalla carica di architetto di S. Petronio (Bologna). Alla sua morte la direzione dei lavori fu affidata a Giacomo della Porta (1532-1602) che elaborò il disegno di facciata e cupola.
Lo schema centrico del Vignola, ripreso dal progetto di Michelangelo (1475-1564) per la basilica vaticana, presenta un corpo longitudinale con una spaziosa navata fiancheggiata da cappelle laterali. Dal contrasto fra la spinta in profondità esercitata dalla navata e la forza centripeta che si sprigiona dalla grande e luminosa cupola (Walcher Casotti), nasce la suggestione dell'interno, il senso dinamico e chiaroscurale delle strutture, che apre il passo al barocco.

Roma da scoprire (1): Macchina barocca nella Chiesa del Gesù
Ogni giorno, alle 17.30, presso la Chiesa del Gesù, viene messo in funzione un apparato scenografico barocco ideato da Andrea Pozzo Andrea Pozzo (Trento, 30 novembre 1642 Vienna, 31 agosto 1709) gesuita architetto, pittore, decoratore e teorico dell'arte italiano. Artista straordinariamente versatile, una figura significativa del tardo Barocco.
L'apparato da lui creato (e di recente restaurato) prevede suoni, luci, e alla fine la scenografica scomparsa in discesa della tela, che scopre la splendida statua di S. Ignazio.
Il barocco così rivive e affascina, al di fuori dei percorsi turistici più trafficati: è questa la Roma da riscoprire.

The Church of the Gesù is the mother church of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order. Officially named Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù all'Argentina, its facade is the first truly baroque façade, introducing the baroque style into architecture. The church served as model for innumerable Jesuit churches all over the world, especially in the Americas. The Church of the Gesù is located in the Piazza del Gesù in Rome.
First conceived in 1551 by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits Society of Jesus, and active during the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Counter-Reformation, the Gesù was also the home of the Superior General of the Society of Jesus until the suppression of the order in 1773. The church having been subsequently regained by the Jesuits, the adjacent palazzo is now a residence for Jesuit scholars from around the world studying at the Gregorian University in preparation for ordination to the priesthood.
Although Michelangelo, at the request of the Spanish cardinal Bartolomeo de la Cueva, offered, out of devotion, to design the church free, the endeavor was funded by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, grandson of Pope Paul III, the pope who had authorized the founding of the Society of Jesus. Ultimately, the main architects involved in the construction were Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, architect of the Farnese family, and Giacomo della Porta. The church was built on the same spot as the previous church Santa Maria della Strada, where Saint Ignatius of Loyola had once prayed before an image of the Holy Virgin. This image, now adorned with gems, can be seen in the church in the chapel of Ignatius on the right side of the altar.
Construction of the church began on 26 June 1568 to Vignola's design. Vignola was assisted by the Jesuit Giovanni Tristano, who took over from Vignola in 1571. When he died in 1575 he was succeeded by the Jesuit architect Giovanni de Rosis. Giacoma della Porta was involved in the construction of the cross-vault, dome, and the apse.
The façade of the church is divided into two sections. The lower section is divided by six pairs of pilasters with Corinthian capitals, while the upper section is divided with four pairs of pilasters. The upper section is joined to the lower section by a volute on each side. The main door stands under a curvilinear tympanum, while the two side doors are under a triangular tympanum. Above the main door one can see a shield with the letters IHS representing the Christogram. The façade also shows the papal coat of arms and a shield with the initialism SPQR, tying this church closely to the people of Rome.

Lo spettacolo barocco dell’altare di Sant’Ignazio nella Chiesa del Gesù a Roma
Un suggestivo artificio barocco viene azionato ogni giorno nella Chiesa del Gesù a Roma: alle 17,30 la grande tela che sovrasta l'altare viene azionata, e come un enorme meccanismo teatrale scende e mostra la retrostante statua del Santo.

Iglesia del Gesù (Roma)
La iglesia del Gesù (en italiano, Chiesa del Sacro Nome di Gesù, o iglesia del Santo Nombre de Jesús) situada en la plaza del Gesù en Roma, es la iglesia madre de la Compañía de Jesús, conocida como los jesuitas, una orden de la Iglesia católica. Su fachada está reconocida como «la primera verdaderamente barroca» y fue el modelo de innumerables iglesias jesuitas en todo el mundo, especialmente en el continente americano.
Ignacio de Loyola fue quien encargó en 1551 al arquitecto florentino Nanni di Baccio Bigio el diseño del primer templo jesuita. Miguel Ángel lo rediseña en 1554, mandado sus planos por medio de una carta, aunque el proyecto permanece inconcluso ya que Loyola fallece en 1556.
En 1565 Francisco de Borja fue elegido como el tercer prepósito por la congregación general de la Compañía de Jesús, gobernó hasta 1572, y fue bajo su mandato que se realizó la construcción de el Gesù.

Roma, Chiesa del Gesù SJ, The illusionistic Baciccio' vault frescoes in the Jesus' Church (manortiz)
The Italian painter Giovanni Battista Gaulli (1639-1709) is known for the drama of his illusionistic ceiling paintings in fresco and the brilliance of his color harmonies in oils.
Giovanni Battista Gaulli, called Baciccio, was born in Genoa and was baptized on May 10, 1639. When he was 18 years old, his entire family died of the plague. Soon afterward he left for Rome, where he spent the rest of his life. There he met Gian Lorenzo Bernini, with whose help Baciccio's career flourished. He received many commissions to execute frescoes in the churches of the papal city and mythologies in its palaces. He painted all the cardinals, Lione Pascoli wrote in 1730, all the important people of his day who came to Rome, and the seven popes who reigned from Alexander VII to Clement XI.
In 1674 Baciccio was president of the painters' guild, the Academy of St. Luke. After Bernini's death in 1680 Baciccio's prestige declined somewhat owing to the increasing popularity of the cooler, quieter art of Carlo Maratti, but he never lacked commissions. He died in Rome on March 26, 1709.
Baciccio's earliest identifiable works, such as the oil sketches for the frescoes at S. Agnese, show the natural style he brought with him from Genoa. In these sketches he often used colors at top saturation - the brightest, purest blue, the reddest red - and applied paint rapidly in almost explosive brushstrokes filled with energy and vigor.
from
Baciccio's most famous work is the Triumph of the Name of Jesus in the Church of the Gesù (1672-1679), which covers most of the nave ceiling of the massive church. Gazing upward, we have the illusion that the roof is open at the center. High in the sky are cherubim and angels who circle around the light emanating from the monogram of Jesus. Below on cloud banks are throngs of saints and churchmen who kneel in adoration. At one end is a group of the damned being cast down to hell by the same mystical light that draws the blessed up to heaven.
The most striking aspect of this work is the way in which large groups of figures spill over the edge of the frame and seem to hover above our heads and underneath the roof of the church. Thus they exist in the same zone of space that we do, only higher up. In this way Baciccio stresses the smallness of the distance that separates heaven from earth and therefore the immediacy of the celestial. These figures on clouds that seem to float inside the church take on the sense of mass, clarity of contour, and bright colors with which we are familiar in the material world. The figures gazing down from the higher regions of heaven assume a less physical, more spiritual existence. Their outlines blur, their solidity dissolves, and their colors drain as they sink back into the divine light.
