Tempietto d'Arcadia by Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, 1769
Parco Ducale
Parma, May 2024
“The Tempietto d'Arcadia is a small circular temple in the form of a ruin located in the Ducal Park in Parma. The small temple was built in 1769 based on a design by the court architect Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, who, according to neoclassical taste, drew inspiration from the temple of Vesta on the Aniene; it was inaugurated on the occasion of the wedding between Duke Ferdinand of Bourbon and Maria Amalia of Habsburg-Lorraine with a bucolic party, during which the guests dressed up as shepherds and shepherdesses.” (Tempietto d'Arcadia, Wikipedia)
