The Barriera Albertina was a customs barrier of the city of Novara. Today (2021) it hosts cultural, social and artistic exhibitions and conferences. The two buildings have a square plan, with a single floor, with a flat roof. The facades have a hexastyle pronaos of the Doric order, surmounted by a tympanum. The external walls are characterized by a smooth ashlar, interrupted by simple Doric pilasters, which intersperse the architraved windows. The appearance is sober and essential, measured in proportions, aligned with neoclassical canons. The sculptural decoration was entrusted to Giuseppe Argenti, a member of the school of Pompeo Marchesi, author in turn of the statue of Carlo Emanuele III in via Puccini. Argenti chose the subjects according to the indications of the historian Francesco Antonio Bianchini, to cover the building with significant figures and reliefs. On the tympanum of the two pronaos was placed a relief with two female figures, symmetrical, holding the royal and city insignia: this represents the close relationship between the Savoy interventions and urban development. On the sides of the vestibule, on the main facades, are the personifications of Royal Charity, Gratitude, Agriculture and Commerce. Initially there were also two statues placed on the supporting pillars of the wrought iron gate: the representations of Concord and Vigilance. In the upper part of the western façade of each building are the following inscriptions, both designed by the historian Francesco Antonio Bianchini: KAROLO ALBERTO REGI NOSTRO PATRI P. on the north building, O.P.Q. NOVARIENSIS MDCCCXXXVII D.D. on the south building. The gate was designed by the artist Pelagio Palagi, already author of the gate of the Royal Palace in Turin. Later it was, together with the two statues, moved to the monument to Carlo Alberto, in Piazza del Rosario (Piazza Gramsci). After the destruction of this monument, in September 1944, the statues were finally destined for the entrance to the cemetery, where they still are today. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barriera_Albertina

The Basilica of San Gaudenzio in Novara, the "little sister" of the Mole Antonelliana. Spectacular to see it from afar.

The Dome of San Gaudenzio, symbol of the city of Novara, stands out from the Basilica of the same name below and is the work of Alessandro Antonelli. The architect, using only bricks and lime, built one of the most daring masonry structures in the history of world architecture. From the spire of the dome you can enjoy a vast panorama of the city and the plain below, which extends up to the Alps.

Beautiful Architecture of the Basilica 🕍

Built between 1577 and 1590 to a likely design by Pellegrino Tibaldi, the basilica stood from the outset as an emblem of Novara citizenship against the increasingly oppressive presence of the absolute state founded by the Spaniards. The single-nave building was not completed until the second half of the seventeenth century and has a Latin cross plan with a late Renaissance structure. The basilica contains numerous works of art, including an old bishop's chair. In the eighteenth-century scurolo is a silver urn containing the remains of San Gaudenzio, patron saint of the diocese. The Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament exhibits eight seventeenth-century canvases by Fiammenghino, depicting scenes from the life of San Gaudenzio, which took place in the city. The Chapel of the Nativity (second chapel from the left) houses a polyptych by Gaudenzio Ferrari (commissioned around 1514), belonging to the primitive church of San Vincenzo, with panels depicting the nativity scene, the Annunciation (in the upper register of the polyptych), the Virgin with the Son between Saints Rocco, Ivo and Bishops Gaudenzio and Ambrogio, Saints Peter and John the Baptist and Saints Paul and Agabio (in the lower register). The frame (with cornices and columns) of the six panels largely corresponds to the Renaissance canons. In the Chapel of the Guardian Angel (first chapel on the left) there are frescoes by Tanzio da Varallo (1629), depicting the patron saints of the Nazari family (which was the client's family), biblical scenes, Paradise and the purgatory. These paintings, as well as the canvas depicting the Battle of Sannacherib, are the result of a taste that probably already crosses regional borders for inspiration in Central European art. The bell tower is the work of Benedetto Alfieri (1786). The dome, built between 1840 and 1888 by Alessandro Antonelli, is made entirely of masonry and is 121 m high. At the top is a gilded copper statue of Christ the Redeemer, the work of Pietro Zucchi (1873). Source: https://www.turismonovara.it/it/ArteStoriaScheda?id=125
