Pertsch

Matteo Pertsch nacque nel 1769 (1770 o 1774, secondo altre fonti) a Buchhorn sul Lago di Costanza da una famiglia di origine tedesca e lasciò la sua patria nel 1790 per frequentare l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera a Milano. Nello stesso periodo era attivo nel capoluogo lombardo il maggior maestro del Neoclassicismo italiano, Giuseppe Piermarini (professore a Brera tra il 1774 e il 1799 e architetto del Teatro alla Scala di Milano) e la sua lezione lasciò sicuramente un'impronta profonda sul giovane Pertsch. Nel 1794 Matteo vinse il Primo Premio d'Architettura nel concorso dell'Accademia Ducale di Belle Arti di Parma con un progetto per una Zecca Reale. Le speranze d'essere assunto all'Accademia milanese svanirono con l'occupazione francese di Milano e Pertsch fu costretto a riparare a Bergamo.

Arrivò a Trieste chiamato «per erigere la grandiosa sua fabbrica sul Canal Grande» dal greco Demetrio Carciotti, commerciante stabilitosi a Trieste nel 1775. La fiorente attività triestina di Pertsch cominciò, quindi, nel 1798 come Privat-Architekt con un lavoro decisamente importante: nello stesso anno l'architetto presentò i disegni per quella che sarà considerata da Giuseppe Righetti «l'opera più bella di Pertsch, più maestosa, più grande […] la grande casa, o vogliamo dire palazzo di Demetrio Carciotti, ricco e generoso negoziante greco.[…] il suo prospetto verso il mare, rimane tuttora [1865 N.d.A.] l'unica opera architettonica d'un privato, rimarchevole per sontuosità, per bellezza, per ricchezza e pel movimento ed effetto prospettivo che trovasi in Trieste, la quale facciata giustamente fece dare al tutto il pomposo nome di palazzo».

Il sovrintendente alle costruzioni fu Giovanni Righetti e l'autore delle sculture fu Antonio Bosa, allievo di Antonio Canova. I lavori terminarono solo nel 1806 (nonostante in facciata compaia la data 1800); si sa per certo che Pertsch adottò in questo suo progetto le misure antincendio promulgate nel 1801.

Nel 1799, Pertsch partecipò al concorso indetto dal ceto mercantile per «erigere un edificio ad uno di Borsa, meritevole di testimoniare ai tardi nipoti la prosperità ed il trionfo delle conservate franchigie e la dichiarazione di porto franco colla trinità commerciale»[2], ma l'Accademia di Parma preferì i disegni di Antonio Mollari. Secondo la testimonianza di Giovanni Righetti, però, nel progetto definitivo furono accettati alcuni suggerimenti del Pertsch.

Nello stesso anno iniziò i lavori al Teatro Nuovo di Trieste, progettato dal famoso architetto veneziano Giannantonio Selva (autore del Teatro La Fenice a Venezia): Pertsch, impegnato ancora nei lavori di Palazzo Carciotti, fu incaricato di realizzare un'imponente facciata in adattamento del nuovo piano imposto dal Governo di Vienna. Con questa opera architettonica Matteo Pertsch dimostrò la sua indipendenza artistica e la sua capacità di adattamento alle condizioni edilizie precostituite, nonostante il suo lavoro denoti sensibili somiglianze con il Teatro alla Scala del Piermarini e con altri esempi lombardi.

Una tra le opere più interessanti e originali del Pertsch è la Rotonda Pancera, edificio a facciata semicircolare. I lavori di costruzioni furono affidati al ticinese Giovanni Righetti. La costruzione della Rotonda è da datarsi, tra l'altro, attorno al 1805: questo spiegherebbe l'affinità stilistica col Palazzo Carciotti, terminato lo stesso anno.

Nel 1807 Pertsch abbandonò Trieste in seguito all'occupazione francese per trasferirsi a Graz, guadagnando una certa fama anche in Stiria e in Carniola con opere sia pubbliche che private. Ritornò a Trieste nel 1817 per non allontanarsene più, continuando la fiorente attività che aveva lasciato dieci anni prima. Una spiegazione per il gran numero di incarichi affidati al Pertsch all'inizio del XIX secolo ci viene ancora dal Righetti: «Aveva quell'artista una profonda pratica nelle costruzioni che dava ai suoi lavori quella conveniente solidità, senza eccedere ad inutili e grandi spese, sapeva altresì ovviare ai difetti nei quali incorrono più volte i tecnici. A quanto ci consta egli fu uno dei primi che introducesse i più notevoli miglioramenti nelle costruzioni muratorie, e nei sistemi e forme dei ferramenti delle porte e finestre, come sarebbero le spagnolette, le bandelle e le toppe incassate nella grossezza del legno, ed altre. Per le quali cose egli salì in tanta reputazione, che ne era soverchiato di commissione tecniche-artistiche, e gli artieri tutti avevano in lui cotanta fiducia, che quasi ne era divenuto il comun padre o protagonista; e diversi furono i capi-maestri che da lui si formarono»[1]. Tra questi edifici possiamo ricordare la Casa Covacevich (già Mauroner - 1821), la Casa Steiner in Corso Italia (1824) e la cosiddetta Casa Recher (1833), demolita nel 1911.

Matteo Pertsch intervenne con progetti e proposte nella costruzione del cimitero cattolico di Sant'Anna attorno al 1822 e già prima aveva eseguito lavori di geometra nella parte nord-occidentale dello stesso, atti alla costruzione del cimitero della comunità greco-orientale, per la quale progettò e costruì anche la facciata e due campanili della chiesa di San Nicolò (1819). Dal 1820 la Deputazione di Borsa si rivolse a lui quale consigliere, perito o imprenditore per vari incarichi, affidandogli anche diversi progetti poi non realizzati per i più svariati motivi. Contrariamente a quanto detto da molti, il faro della Vecchia Lanterna non fu opera di Pietro Nobile ma del Pertsch, che presentò tra il 1824 e il 1831 almeno sei progetti per la realizzazione. Proprio nel 1831 Pietro Nobile, della Direzione Aulica delle Fabbriche di Vienna, avallò l'inizio dei lavori.

L'attività del Pertsch si orientò anche in altre direzioni: fu "stimatore di stabili e pubblico perito delle costruzioni" e intervenne nel pubblico interesse su diversi problemi e proposte per la costruzione delle carceri e per l'approvvigionamento dell'acqua potabile. Prestò la sua opera al Governo e al Magistrato e venne chiamato a far parte di varie commissioni comunali. Per due anni tenne la cattedra di Architettura Civile alla Scuola reale e di nautica (inaugurata nel 1818). Fu inoltre accolto in molte Accademie in qualità di Membro d'Onore, come quella di San Luca in Roma (1825) e poi alle Belle Arti di Firenze (1825), Venezia (1826), Parma, Bologna e Napoli (1827).

La vasta esperienza in campo architettonico gli diede l'occasione di escogitare vere e proprie invenzioni, come ad esempio le canne fumarie di pietra forata al posto dei consueti camini in muratura, l'adozione di focolai economici e graticole di selezione delle spazzature. Tradusse dal tedesco il Saggio sulle proprietà e sugli effetti delle volte dell'architetto Karl Friedrich Meerwein, con una dedica al Conte Gabriele di Porcia e una prefazione.

Giuseppe Righetti disse di Pertsch: «Fu uomo ben versato nella storia delle arti, nella geometria, nella meccanica, ed anche nelle belle lettere. I suoi concetti architettonici sono graziosi, armonici, svariati e caratteristici al soggetto. Amava l'applicazione degli ordini nei scomparti nelle facciate con archi e finestre arcuate con bassorilievi, imposte e conciamenti di buone profilazioni e risentite.»[1]

Nel 1802 Pertsch sposò Maddalena Vogel che gli diede quattro figli e tre figlie. Tre dei maschi seguirono le orme del padre sulla strada dell'arte, tra loro Nicolò continuò l'attività architettonica specialmente a Trieste, avendo ottenuto l'autorizzazione prescritta nel 1835.

L'allievo più importante di Matteo Pertsch fu Antonio Buttazzoni (1800-1848) che iniziò la carriera nel suo studio e frequentò per più di due anni l'Accademia di Brera. L'influenza del maestro non fu mai nascosta da Buttazzoni, che dal 1824 lavorò molto, soprattutto a Lubiana.

Nonostante gli atteggiamenti spesso non accomodanti verso le autorità e gli screzi accidentali con i propri colleghi (tra cui Pietro Nobile e Giuseppe Sforzi), Matteo Pertsch godeva a Trieste della massima considerazione sia nel settore pubblico che in quello privato. Giuseppe Righetti fornì, a tal proposito, alcune interessanti informazioni sulla persona del Pertsch: «Il carattere di M. Pertsch era quale lo preconizza Vitruvio agli architetti; cioè onesto, leale, prudente, benefico, affabile e manieroso con tutti senza ostentazione: ascoltava e ne faceva profitto delle altrui opinioni e consigli; sapeva distinguere le capacità e proteggerle, trovare i virtuosi e divenirne amico. Tanto era addottrinato nell'arte, che diede alla luce un'interessante operetta intorno alla costruzione delle volte, se ben la memoria non c'inganna. Siccome poi in età provetta era sofferente in salute, eccedeva bensì talora in causticità ed irritazione, ma tosto se ne ricomponeva.»

Matteo Pertsch morì in seguito ad una lunga malattia all'età di circa 60 anni l'11 aprile 1834.

Pertsch was born in 1769 (or 1770 or 1774, according to various sources) in the Free Imperial City of Buchhorn on Lake Constance (present-day Friedrichshafen in southern Germany, close to the borders with Switzerland and Austria) to a family of German origin. He left his homeland in 1790 to attend the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, then the capital of Lombardy ruled by Austrian Habsburgs.

During his time at Brera, he was influenced by Giuseppe Piermarini, considered one of the great masters of Italian Neoclassicism (Piermarini taught at Brera between 1774 and 1799, and during this period designed the famous La Scala theatre, built in 1778). In 1794 Pertsch won First Prize in a competition organized by the Ducal Academy of Fine Arts of Parma with his project for the Royal Mint. However, his hopes that he would get employment at Brera after graduation vanished following the French occupation of Milan in 1796, which led Pertsch to move Bergamo.

He arrived in Trieste in 1798, upon invitation by Demetrio Carciotti, a wealthy Greek merchant. Carciotti had settled in Trieste in 1775 and wanted Pertsch to design a grandiose residence for him on the mouth of the Canal Grande, a prime location facing the city's waterfront.

called "to erect his grandiose factory on the Grand Canal" by the Greek Demetrio Carciotti, a merchant who settled in Trieste in 1775. Pertsch's flourishing Trieste business began, therefore, in 1798 as Privat-Architekt with a decidedly important job: in the same year the architect presented the drawings for what will be considered by Giuseppe Righetti "the most beautiful work of Pertsch, the most majestic, the largest [...] the great house, or we mean the palace of Demetrio Carciotti, rich and generous Greek shopkeeper . [...] its façade towards the sea still remains [1865 NdA] the only architectural work of a private individual, remarkable for its sumptuousness, beauty, richness and movement and perspective effect found in Trieste, which facade rightly he had everything given the pompous name of palace ».

The superintendent of the buildings was Giovanni Righetti and the author of the sculptures was Antonio Bosa, a pupil of Antonio Canova. The works ended only in 1806 (although the date 1800 appears on the facade); it is known for certain that Pertsch adopted the fire prevention measures promulgated in 1801 in this project.

In 1799, Pertsch participated in the competition held by the merchant class to "erect a building for a stock exchange, worthy of witnessing to the late grandchildren the prosperity and triumph of the preserved franchises and the declaration of free port with the commercial trinity", but the Academy of Parma preferred the designs of Antonio Mollari. According to the testimony of Giovanni Righetti, however, some suggestions of Pertsch were accepted in the final project.

In the same year, work began on the Teatro Nuovo in Trieste, designed by the famous Venetian architect Giannantonio Selva (author of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice): Pertsch, still working on the Palazzo Carciotti, was commissioned to create an imposing facade in adaptation of the new plan imposed by the Government of Vienna. With this architectural work Matteo Pertsch demonstrated his artistic independence and his ability to adapt to pre-established building conditions, despite his work denoting significant similarities with Piermarini's Teatro alla Scala and other Lombard examples.

One of Pertsch's most interesting and original works is the Rotonda Pancera, a building with a semicircular facade. The construction works were entrusted to Giovanni Righetti from Ticino. The construction of the Rotonda is to be dated, among other things, around 1805: this would explain the stylistic affinity with Palazzo Carciotti, completed the same year.

In 1807 Pertsch left Trieste following the French occupation to move to Graz, gaining a certain fame also in Styria and in Carniola with both public and private works. He returned to Trieste in 1817 to never leave it, continuing the flourishing business he had left ten years earlier. An explanation for the large number of assignments entrusted to Pertsch at the beginning of the nineteenth century still comes to us from Righetti: "That artist had a profound practice in construction that gave his works that convenient solidity, without exceeding unnecessary and large expenses, he also knew how to remedy the defects that technicians run into several times. As far as we know he was one of the first who introduced the most notable improvements in masonry constructions, and in the systems and forms of the fittings of doors and windows, such as the espagnolette, the hinges and the patches embedded in the thickness of the wood, and others. For which he gained such a reputation, that he was overwhelmed by technical-artistic commissions, and the artists all had such great confidence in him, that he had almost become his common father or protagonist; and various were the chief teachers who were formed by him "[1]. Among these buildings we can remember the Casa Covacevich (formerly Mauroner - 1821), the Casa Steiner in Corso Italia (1824) and the so-called Casa Recher (1833), demolished in 1911.

Matteo Pertsch intervened with projects and proposals in the construction of the Catholic cemetery of Sant'Anna around 1822 and already before he had carried out works as a surveyor in the north-western part of the same, suitable for the construction of the cemetery of the Greek-Eastern community, for which he designed and he also built the facade and two bell towers of the church of San Nicolò (1819). From 1820 the Stock Exchange Deputation turned to him as adviser, expert or entrepreneur for various assignments, also entrusting him with various projects which were not realized for various reasons. Contrary to what many have said, the Old Lantern lighthouse was not the work of Pietro Nobile but of Pertsch, who presented at least six projects for its construction between 1824 and 1831. Precisely in 1831 Pietro Nobile, of the Aulic Direction of the Vienna Factories, endorsed the start of the works.

Pertsch's activity was also oriented in other directions: he was an "appraiser of buildings and a public construction expert" and intervened in the public interest on various problems and proposals for the construction of prisons and for the supply of drinking water. He lent his work to the Government and the Magistrate and was called to be part of various municipal commissions. For two years he held the chair of Civil Architecture at the Royal and Nautical School (inaugurated in 1818). He was also accepted in many Academies as an Honorary Member, such as that of San Luca in Rome (1825) and then at the Fine Arts of Florence (1825), Venice (1826), Parma, Bologna and Naples (1827).

The vast experience in the architectural field gave him the opportunity to devise real inventions, such as the perforated stone flues instead of the usual masonry fireplaces, the adoption of economic fireplaces and rubbish sorting grates. He translated from German the Essay on the properties and effects of the vaults by the architect Karl Friedrich Meerwein, with a dedication to Count Gabriele di Porcia and a preface.

Giuseppe Righetti said of Pertsch: «He was a man well versed in the history of the arts, in geometry, in mechanics, and also in fine literature. His architectural concepts are graceful, harmonious, varied and characteristic of the subject. He loved the application of the orders in the compartments in the facades with arches and arched windows with bas-reliefs, shutters and tannings of good profiling and resentful.

In 1802 Pertsch married Maddalena Vogel who bore him four sons and three daughters. Three of the males followed in their father's footsteps on the road to art, among them Nicolò continued his architectural activity especially in Trieste, having obtained the prescribed authorization in 1835.

Matteo Pertsch's most important pupil was Antonio Buttazzoni (1800-1848) who began his career in his studio and attended the Brera Academy for more than two years. The master's influence was never hidden by Buttazzoni, who worked a lot from 1824, especially in Ljubljana.

Despite the often non-accommodating attitudes towards the authorities and the accidental disagreements with his colleagues (including Pietro Nobile and Giuseppe Sforzi), Matteo Pertsch enjoyed the highest consideration in Trieste both in the public and in the private sector. Giuseppe Righetti provided, in this regard, some interesting information on the person of Pertsch: «The character of M. Pertsch was as Vitruvius predicts it to architects; that is, honest, loyal, prudent, beneficial, affable and mannered with everyone without ostentation: he listened and took advantage of the opinions and advice of others; he knew how to distinguish abilities and protect them, find the virtuous and befriend them. He was so indoctrinated in art that he gave birth to an interesting work about the construction of the vaults, if his memory does not deceive us. Since he was suffering in health at a test age, he went too far but sometimes in causticity and irritation, but he soon recovered. "

Matteo Pertsch died following a long illness at the age of about 60 on 11 April 1834.
