The Lazzaretto of Ancona, also called the Mole Vanvitelliana, is a pentagonal 18th-century building built on an artificial island as a quarantine station for the port town of Ancona, Italy. The island is now connected to the mainland by three bridges. The building was commissioned by Pope Clement XII, designed by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli, and built from 1733−1743. It originally had only one link to the mainland. A well was located in the central Neoclassical tempietto dedicated to Saint Roch, invoked against the plague, in the center of the courtyard. It was built to house possibly-infected travellers and goods arriving in the port.

  • The Lazzaretto of Ancona, also called the Mole Vanvitelliana, is a pentagonal 18th-century building built on an artificial island as a quarantine station for the port town of Ancona, Italy. The island is now connected to the mainland by three bridges. The building was commissioned by Pope Clement XII, designed by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli, and built from 1733−1743. It originally had only one link to the mainland. A well was located in the central Neoclassical tempietto dedicated to Saint Roch, invoked against the plague, in the center of the courtyard. It was built to house possibly-infected travellers and goods arriving in the port. Over the years, the site has taken different functions, mainly as a military citadel since the 19th century. During World War I, there was a failed attempt to sabotage the Italian naval resources by 60 infiltrating Habsburg sailors. Now it is used as a site of the museum , as well as home for various exhibitions. It is not clear why a pentagonal shape was chosen for the building. However, the rationalistic and functional ensemble is common to many works of late Enlightenment architecture. The efforts of this work can be compared to the contemporary architecture of institutions meant to provide geometrically compelling structures to house services for the poor in Naples by Fernando Fuga, such as the massive Royal Hospice and Hospital for the Poor and the mathematical Cemetery of the 366 Fossae.

  • Lazzaretto di Ancona, eller Mole Vanvitelliana, är ett italienskt lasarett och en karantänsstation från 1700-talet vid Ancona. Lazzaretto di Ancona är en pentagonformad byggnad som är byggt på en konstgjord ö vid Anconas hamn. Den hade ursprungligen ingen förbindelse med land, men finds numera med land med tre broar. Byggprojektet initierades av påven Clemens XII och anläggningen ritades av Luigi Vanvitelli. Den uppfördes 1733−43 och var helgad åt Den helige Rochus, skyddshelgonet för lepra. I mitten fanns en separat byggnad för resenärer och varor till hamnen, vilka misstänktes vara smittade. Anläggningen har över åren använts för olika ändamål, framför allt militära, från 1800-talet. Den används nu som byggnad för Museum Tattile Omero och som utställningslokaler. (sv)
