Abstract
The anamorphic cycles and the catoptric sundials at the Convent of Trinità dei Monti were developed within an experimental process conducted by the Minims friars in the 17th century. The recent surveys on these works have revealed unprecedented connections between them, not only of perspectival nature, but also with a symbolic and mystical character. The visible (and invisible) apparatuses shows how they were part of a project in which the illusory images supported Order’s spiritual life.
