Resumen de Disegni di architettura negli archivi siciliani: il palazzo della commenda Borgia e il palazzo della famiglia Borgia del Casale a Siracusa
Two drawings made between the late 18th and early 19th century, represent two palaces located in the cathedral square in Syracuse. These are the plants on the main floor of the palace of the commenda Borgia and the palace of the Borgia del Casale family. Both drawings represent the state of conservation, the distribution of rooms, the boundaries and the properties of the two buildings. The drawings also indicate the intentions of the owners in the management of the building, through new purchases and a distribution of rooms functional to their possible location. All these indications, deduced from the drawings, show us the complexity of management of this type of buildings which had to be continually subjected to ordinary maintenance interventions.
