Tempietto |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.01 sec. |
TempiettoSmall monument built in 1502 to mark the crucifixion spot of St. Peter in Rome. Designed by Donato Bramante, it is a circular, domed, unadorned masterpiece of High Renaissance architecture. Its outer face is a colonnade of bare Tuscan Doric, the earliest modern use of this order. Because of its proportions, the tiny temple has the majesty of a great monument.

Built in two phases, in 1926 and 1941, the Esperson Buildings features two office towers with the tallest topped by a dramatic Italianate dome modeled on Rome's Tempietto of San Pietro designed by Donato Bramante and built in 1502. |
