| Summary | "Della architettura gotica" by Carlo Troya is a historical discourse written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the Gothic architecture that evolved from the ancient Goths, tracing their lineage back to the Getae of Thrace, and highlighting their influence throughout Europe. The author discusses the architectural developments under various Gothic rulers and associates them with significant historical events and cultural shifts in the region. The opening of the text introduces Troya's intention to compile and summarize his previous writings related to Gothic architecture, which he has scattered throughout his works on Italian history and Lombard diplomatic codes. He begins by outlining the historical context of the Goths, discussing their migration patterns and cultural practices, notably their institutions and religious beliefs under figures such as Zamolxi and Deceneo. Through various historical examples, Troya sets the stage for analyzing Gothic architecture, emphasizing its distinction from both Roman and Germanic architectural forms, and hinting at how these discussions will inform a broader understanding of the period's architectural legacy.
