Church of Beata Vergine detta della Vena

The "Church of Beata Vergine detta della Vena" was Mauro Guidi's unrealized project. Mauro Guidi was a significant architect for the city of Cesena; he was born in the second half of 1700, during the period of the French Revolution. Mauro Guidi spent nearly all of his life drawing projects that aimed to transform Cesena into a utopian city. The Atlantis 48 contained the majority of his drawings. Mauro Guidi based the construction of his church on the column's diameter. The project was characterized by an important pronao with eight doric columns and a circular tympanum. The most significant area was in the center of the church. This circular and elevated space was characterized by six ionic columns, architectural flames, and balusters. The center area was covered by a hemispherical dome with openings to allow light enter into the church. The lateral spaces were covered by annular vaults and ribbed vaults.
