Here we find Rome’s famous Pyramid, ruins from the former imperial port nestled in with the daily life of modern day Roman’s. In antiquity, the district was home to the Emporium port, where the bulk of the Romans’ food supply funneled into the city.

The ancient Monte dei Cocci, or Monte Testaccio hill, composed of millions of broken amphorae, still looms today. Dinner: Cooking Class Tonight we will prepare our own delicious three-course meal with a local chef.

  • CLAS 3720: HISTORY and ART of ANCIENT ROME MAYMESTER 2018 Chiara Sulprizio (Classical and Mediterranean Studies)
    1 CLAS 3720: HISTORY AND ART OF ANCIENT ROME MAYMESTER 2018 Chiara Sulprizio (Classical and Mediterranean Studies) DATES: MAY 13-JUNE 1, 2018 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course, which is taught on site in Rome and its environs, examines the history, architecture, art and features of daily life as it was lived by the ancient Romans through a sustained engagement with the topography of the city. While our focus will be on the period between the 2nd century BCE and the 4th century CE, we will also consider some of the long- term developments and influences of Roman culture as they manifest themselves in medieval, renaissance and modern-day Rome. A few themes and topics that we will explore throughout the course include: the material and cultural transformation of Rome’s public spaces and civic image over time; the influence of urban life and customs on the production of Latin literature and Roman art; and especially, the monumental contexts of Roman religion and ritual practice, from the Late Republican period to the rise of Christianity. The course has no prerequisites, though some familiarity with the ancient world would be helpful. During the term, we will bring a variety of scholarly approaches to bear on our inquiry into the many spaces, objects and texts we will encounter, which will include wall paintings, sculptures, mosaics, coins, inscriptions, Latin poetry and prose, and examples of both public and domestic architecture. We will spend a majority of our time visiting archaeological sites, monuments and museums, and assessing their material remains through observation, discussion and written analyses.

  • Fontane Di Roma E Del Lazio “Bella, Come Nella Pietra Fresca Della Sorgente, L’Acqua Apre Un Ampio Lampo Di Schiuma”
    Storie di pietre e di acque Fontane di Roma e del Lazio “Bella, come nella pietra fresca della sorgente, l’acqua apre un ampio lampo di schiuma” Bella, Pablo Neruda Storie di pietre e di acque Fontane di Roma e del Lazio INDICE INTERATTIVO > Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi > L’acqua e la pietra > Fontana del Carcere Mamertino > Acqua Fiuggi > Fontana delle Api > Fontana di Trevi > Fontana del Facchino > Fontana del Babuino > Fontana di Villa Medici > Fontana delle Tartarughe > Fontana Grande > Fontana del Vermicino > Fontana dei Draghi > Fontana della Barcaccia > Fontana dei Quattro Mori INDICE L’acqua e la pietra Nelle fontane l’acqua e la pietra si parlano, e lo fanno da sempre. E a Roma e nel Lazio, è facile ascoltarle raccontare la loro storia millenaria: l’acqua vergine della fontana del Babuino che si tuffa in un antico sepolcro, tornato a nuova vita come vasca; oppure quella che passa tra pietre sapientemente modellate per formare evoluzioni ed emettere suoni, come in una fontana della stupenda villa d’Este a Tivoli; o una pietra che da palla di cannone si è trasformata in base per uno zampillo allegro, o ancora una fontana dove ogni tanto l’acqua lascia il posto al vino. In questo piccolo volumetto abbiamo voluto raccogliere le piccole storie di alcune di esse, senza perderci in descrizioni architettoniche che lasciamo a tomi più eruditi del nostro, che ci aiutano a capire quanto l’acqua e la pietra sappiano convivere e raccontarci la Storia. La maggior parte delle fontane descritte si trovano a Roma, che è universalmente riconosciuta come la città con più fontane al mondo, ma ve ne sono anche di meno conosciute, sparse nel territorio del Lazio, denso di storia e leggende tutte da scoprire.

After your 90- minute coach drive, meet your guide and start a panoramic tour including Piramide Cestia, Circo Massimo and Rome​s icon, the Colosseo. On the way to Venezia Square, in front of the ​Altare della Patria​, you will pass Via dei Fori Imperiali and the biggest open air archaeological site of the city. It​s from Via del Teatro Marcello that your walking experience through history and to the Jewish Ghetto begins. Visit the splendid Teatro Marcello, also known as the ​Little Colosseum​, almost perfectly intact, and discover the suggestive area of the Portico d​Ottavia monumental complex as you walk inside.

  • Fontane E Piazze Di Roma
    Fontane e piazze di Roma Fontana di Trevi Piazza di Spagna Piazza Montecitorio Piazza della rotonda e Pantheon Piazza Navona 1 FONTANA DI TREVI La fontana è stata disegnata nel 1732 dall’architetto Nicolò Salvi. La grande statua al centro della fontana rappresenta il dio del fiume Oceano; le due statue a destra e a sinistra rappresentano la Salubrità (salute) e l'Abbondanza. L’acqua che sgorga proviene dall’acquedotto romano dell’acqua vergine. I romani dicono che se lanci una moneta nell’acqua della fontana avrai fortuna. 2 PIAZZA DI SPAGNA TRINITA’ DE’ MONTI La grande scala di Trinità dei Monti, disegnata dagli architetti Alessandro Specchi e Francesco De Sanctis, è stata completata nel 1725. I 135 gradini della scalinata portano dalla piazza alla chiesa di Trinità dei Monti. In primavera e in estate moltissimi fiori fanno più bella la scalinata. La piazza ha la forma di una farfalla dalle ali triangolari i cui vertici coincidono con i piedi della scalinata. A destra della scalinata c’è la colonna dell’Immacolata. La colonna, alta 11 mt. con in cima la statua della Madonna. Alla base 4 statue : Mosè, Isaia, Ezechiele e David. 3 PIAZZA DI SPAGNA LA BARCACCIA LA BARCACCIA La fontana della Barcaccia a piazza di Spagna si chiama così perché ha la forma di una grande barca che affonda nell’acqua; questa barca ricorda una barca vera, arrivata sulla piazza nel 1598 dopo l’alluvione del fiume Tevere. La fontana è stata disegnata nel 1627 da Pietro Bernini e da suo figlio Gian Lorenzo. Le figure del sole e delle api sulla Barcaccia rappresentano la famiglia del papa Urbano VIII Barberini.

As the centre of the Roman Empire, Rome's history is second to none, and everywhere around the 7 hills of Rome this becomes apparent. All roads lead to Rome; and just as well, because going there once is not enough. The Romans, the climate, the history and the gastronomy make for a lovely southern atmosphere to be remembered forever. The buildings of antique Rome, the Colosseum and Forum Romanum being the most well known, are unique, but later periods have also left behind some worthwhile attractions.
