Summary

[edit]
Description
  • Italiano: La Pusterla di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano è una bizzarra "ricostruzione" di porta medievale ("pusterle" erano dette le porte urbiche minori), risalente al 1939 (come rivelano anche i tre fasci littori - scalpellati - sulla torre di sinistra). È stata costruita riutilizzando materiale di spoglio (incluse le tre statue di "Sant'Ambrogio fra i santi Gervasio e Protasio", di anonimo Maestro campionese del XIV secolo) ricavato dalle porte medievali autentiche, demolite senza riguardi. La ricostruzione è stata troppo estesa e radicale e soprattutto arbitraria per poter oggi parlare di un semplice "restauro", piuttosto che di un "pastiche" neogotico. Foto di Giovanni Dall'Orto, 25-4-2007.
  • English: The Pusterla di Sant'Ambrogio in Milano is a weird Disney-like "reconstruction" of a medieval gate ("pusterla" was the name for a minor city gate), built in 1939 (as the rests of three fasces on the left tower reveal) re-using parts and bits (including the 14th century statues of "Saint Ambrose between Saint Gervasius and Saint Protasius", by an unknown Campionese master) from genuine medieval gates, that were lightheartedly demolished. The "reconstruction" was too wide and radical and arbitrary to allow us today to speak about a true "restauration" rather than about a Gothic revival pastiche.
