Geneviève Moracchini-Mazel (1926-2014) è stata la studiosa che, a partire dai primi anni ’50 del XX secolo, ha esaminato e sistematizzato in un insieme organico il patrimonio architettonico medievale della Corsica. Due dei suoi studi monumentali, usciti entrambi nel 1967 e dedicati rispettivamente ai monumenti paleocristiani e romanici, hanno costi- tuito per decenni, fino alle più recenti riletture, testi fondanti per lo studio del patrimonio architettonico della Corsica. Figura di intellettuale in bilico tra l’approccio archeologico ai contesti e la lettura storico-artistica degli alzati, Geneviève Moracchini-Mazel ha condotto le sue ricerche applicando una metodologia sistematica di esame dei siti in abbinamento allo spoglio della documentazione scritta, spesso scarsa. In questo intervento si intende presentare la figura della studiosa, ripercorrendone i metodi di indagine e le riflessioni critiche alla base dell’opera in due volumi Les Eglises romane de Corse, alla luce dei nuovi approcci che le metodologie della ricerca attuale suggeriscono.

Abstract
Geneviève Moracchini-Mazel (1926-2014) was the scholar who, starting from the early 1950s, examined and systematized the medieval architectural heritage of Corsica into an organic whole. Two of his monumental studies, both published in 1967 and dedicated respectively to early Christian and Romanesque monuments, have constituted for decades, until the most recent rereadings, foundational texts for the study of the architectural heritage of Corsica. An intellectual figure poised between the archaeological approach to the contexts and the historical-artistic reading of the elevations, Geneviève Moracchini-Mazel conducted her research by applying a systematic methodology of examining the sites combined with the examination of the often scant written documentation. In this intervention we intend to present the figure of the scholar, retracing the methods of investigation and the critical reflections underlying the two-volume work Les Eglises romane de Corse, in light of the new approaches that current research methodologies suggest.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
