shape, consistent with the
Renaissance conception of the city, and the pursuit of features of extreme functionality of the complex were the two main causes that led to the choice of the pentagonal shape for the construction of citadels. The study of fortifications, in which every single technical-geometric element is carefully dosed in order to achieve the most suitable shape and size, sees the maintenance of a physical centrality as a necessary element to be able to reconcile and mold the shape of the fortress with the characteristics of the surrounding territory. Hence the choice of a five-sided, elongated shape rather than an equilateral one. In the second half of the century, after several realizations, the pentagonal shape would be chosen, as in the

The refinement, however, proved to be in vain: after Antonio's death, the Citadel was stormed by several foreign powers, and during this period leaded guardhouses were installed on the ramparts, underground guardhouses were organized ready to counterattack the enemy from ten sorties, facilities were built to house the military, and a house was built for the priest. Warehouses for use in case of siege and prisons were also built inside the Citadel. In the

The urban structure of the city was affected quite a bit, even in the following centuries; likewise, the very role of the city itself was also profoundly altered, with an anticipation of the city's later urban and economic decline, similar to what also happened in

However, several frauds occurred during the course of the work, concerning very often the quality of the materials, sometimes really bad, or the labor, with work being sloppy or even not performed. Such events fell under indictment on both Stirpio and Smeraldi.
