点评:Andrea Calamech, or Calamecca, is the founder of a family of sculptors and architects originally from Carrara (Tuscany), who moved to Messina during the 16th century, undertaking numerous projects in the city, most of which were destroyed by subsequent earthquakes.
This monument to Don John of Austria, according to critics, is not among his finest works, and is primarily of historical importance.
Located in a clearing halfway between the Church of the Annunziata dei Catalani and the Cathedral, it celebrates the commander of the fleet that defeated the Turks at Lepanto (1571) and was built within two years of the event.
In addition to the bronze statue of the commander, the four bronze slabs that adorn the base are also noteworthy. They report respectively: the chronology of the victorious expedition, the disposition of the fleets in battle, the scene of the Turkish defeat, the scene of the return of the fleet to Messina.
翻译:安德烈亚·卡拉梅克(或卡拉梅卡)是卡拉拉(托斯卡纳)雕塑家和建筑师家族的创始人,该家族于16世纪迁居墨西拿,并在城内承建了众多项目,但其中大部分毁于后来的地震。
据评论家称,这座纪念奥地利的唐·胡安的纪念碑并非其最杰出的作品,其主要价值在于历史意义。
纪念碑位于加泰罗尼亚圣母领报教堂和墨西拿大教堂之间的一片空地上,旨在纪念在勒班陀海战(1571年)中击败土耳其人的舰队指挥官,并在战役发生后的两年内建成。
除了指挥官的青铜雕像外,底座上的四块青铜板也值得关注。它们分别描绘了:胜利远征的编年史、舰队在战斗中的部署、土耳其战败的场景以及舰队返回墨西拿的情景。
