The competition
To find the most suitable architecture to commemorate this miraculous event, an international competition open to all was held. During the competition, the city of Syracuse experienced a significant moment, indeed for a month and a half, the 91 participating projects were exhibited at the school on Via Isonzo and outside the school, flags from the 17 participating nations waved, underscoring the national character of the event. The competition attracted international attention, because although many churches had been built in the previous years, none had the size and importance that was intended for this sanctuary, thus it was an opportunity to engage with the theme of ecclesiastical architecture, no longer on a parish scale but internationally, as are the great pilgrimage sanctuaries.
3° prize – 314253 Architect: E. Schiffer (Colonia)
2° prize – TURRIS DAVIDICA Architects: G. Guillaume & R. Sarger (Paris)
HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT ALMA MATER Architects: V. Gandolfi & M. Righini
We do not know the names of all the participants, as the competition was held anonymously, each project was identified by a motto, and the identifying envelopes were only opened for those projects that were identified as winners or worthy of mention.
