But things do not always go as planned despite an architect planner is very important. The work doe

That the last years of his life Gaudi was a very religious monte carlo man is well known, but this deep feeling he wanted to show it to his architectural work, at first glance, it is difficult to see. When in 1906 he was commissioned to build the Milan impressive homes in Paseo de Gracia wanted to make a good show.
If the house was conceived as a mountain, this was nothing more than a great base for an image of the Virgin. The project of the façade in 1906 was presented to the City Council can be seen as the center appeared a relief of the Virgin with Jesus in her arms
But it seems that Gaudí rethink monte carlo his original idea and go further. It was thought that the house was topped by a sculpture complex in which the Virgin with the infant Jesus in her arms, was the Archangel Michael to his feet, sword, monte carlo and Gabriel, with lily in her hand. The idea of Gaudí shape the sculptor Carles Mani. First we made a clay model of 1:10 and later to a new life-size plaster that had to give way to the final work that had to be made of stone, with metal elements and glass. Total would be about four feet high.
But things do not always go as planned despite an architect planner is very important. The work does not get to perform as the owners of the building monte carlo not considered appropriate. There are unanimously considered that the reason he was dismissed this holy crown Tragic Week in July 1909, when Barcelona became the city burned when, overnight, begin to burn religious monte carlo buildings monte carlo . This made sure that Milan would be made back. Surely this would spoil the relationship between the architect and their clients, so that Gaudí just leaving work and going to trial against Milan, asking their schedules, 105,000 monte carlo pesetas up giving the Jesuits .
Finally on the site should have a large statue of the Virgin and powerful archangels are a discreet pink and initial of the name of Mary. This reason seems clear that the patronage of Our Lady of the Rosary was the building, the owner of nomenclature, not of Grace, the patron monte carlo saint of the old town in honor of a chapel which was just where is now upward Gaudi building.
