«La sua caduta fu miracolosa». Il crollo della torre del duomo vecchio di Brescia nel 1708
Bibliographic record
Abstract
On 5th March 1708 the tower over the entrance of the Duomo Vecchio in Brescia, also known as the Rotonda, collapsed ruinously, thus confirming the hearsay that for a long time had denounced the dangerous conditions of the ancient building. Erected at the same time as the cathedral during the second half of XI century, the Romanesque tower was about 56 meters high, and it housed three bells and probably also a treasury. However, over the centuries the building complex of the cathedral had undergone many changes: among the most significant those made to the tower by the architect Giovan Maria Piantavigna in 1571. As a result of the gradual raising of the street level, the medieval entrance became unusable, therefore Piantavigna was asked to open a new gate in medio turris. This work led to static problems and ultimately to the implosion of the tower, despite the attempts of the Venetian architect Andrea Tirali to reinforce it. Through the analysis of chronicles, archival records, and iconographic sources this essay aims to throw light on the reasons for the sixteenthcentury intervention, the early eighteenth-century restauration, and the causes of the final collapse of the tower.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
