Abstract
This paper deals with the Cappella Antamoro of the church S. Girolamo della Carita in Rome, which was designed by Filippo Juvarra in the beginning of his career and, in particular, takes up the dome ceiling constructed out of complicated forms and designs. Furthermore the investigation gives attention to the influence of geometry in the later 17^<th> Century, especially to stereotomy which developed in France and which Guarino Guarini applied to his architectural treatises. The purpose is to show the preference that a construction based on certain given conditions was preferred to a design reflecting the theories of the period. In short, in the early 18^<th> Century architectural theory has a need to restructure itself by introducing new conceptions from other fields.
