Notes historical bibliographic
The console can be traced back to the production of Genoese furniture referable to the same type of the model depicted in a drawing for the wall of a gallery, made by Gregorio Petondi and dated to 1770, contained within the volume "Il mobile in Liguria "by Avar González-Palacios. Gregorio Petondi (Castel San Pietro, 1732 - Genoa, 1817) was a Swiss architect, active in Genoa at the end of the eighteenth century.Style: Barocchetto (1720-1770)
This term refers, specifically to furniture, to a part of the production carried out in Italy in the period between the Rococo era and the first phase of neoclassicism.It is characterised by the formal and decorative structure still rigidly in adherence to the dictates dear to the Baroque period (hence the term barocchetto) and to the Louis XIV fashions and yet the new times can be seen in the adoption of smaller volumes, more elegant decorative modules, often directly inspired by French fashion, but always executed with rigorous principles of ornamental symmetry.
The tendency to assimilate formal and volumetric innovations but not to incorporate their ornamental elaboration finds a natural explanation in Italy in the fact that in this century the great aristocracy is experiencing an unstoppable political and economic decline.
If in the previous century there was a great profusion of furnishings intended to decorate recently built homes, to proudly show the power of the commissioning family, in In the 18th century, the focus was on updating the building with only the furniture strictly necessary for the new needs imposed by fashion or functional needs.
The old scenographic apparatus was maintained and the new must not contrast too much.
