  • Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome
    What is an Italian Jew? Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome 1. Introduction The Roman Jewish ghetto is no more. Standing in its place is the Tempio Maggiore, or Great Synagogue, a monumental testament to the emancipation of Roman and Italian Jewry in the late nineteenth century. During that era, the Roman Jewish community, along with city planners, raised most of the old ghetto environs to make way for a less crowded, more hygienic, and overtly modern Jewish quarter.1 Today only one piece of the ghetto wall remains, and the Comunità Ebraica di Roma has dwindled to approximately 15,000 Jews. The ghetto area is home to shops and restaurants that serve a diverse tourist clientele. The Museo Ebraico di Roma, housed, along with the Spanish synagogue, in the basement floor of the Great Synagogue, showcases, with artifacts and art, the long history of Roman Jewry. While visiting, one also notices the video cameras, heavier police presence, and use of security protocol at sites, all of which suggest very real threats to the community and its public spaces. This essay explores how Rome's Jewish Museum and synagogues complex represent Italian Jewish identity. It uses the complex and its guidebook to investigate how the museum displays multiple, complex, and even contradictory subject-effects. These effects are complicated by the non- homogeneity of the audience the museum seeks to address, an audience that includes both Jews and non-Jews. What can this space and its history tell us about how this particular “contact zone” seeks to actualize subjects? How can attention to these matters stimulate a richer, more complex understanding of Italian Jewish subjectivities and their histories? We will ultimately suggest that, as a result of history, the museum is on some level “caught” between a series of contradictions, wanting on the one hand to demonstrate the Comunità Ebraica di Roma’s twentieth-century commitment to Zionism and on the other to be true to the historical legacy of its millennial-long diasporic origins.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The thesis concerns the organisation and typology of building construction in Rome during the period 500 - 1000 AD. Part 1 - the organisation - contains three chapters on: ( 1) the finance and administration of building; ( 2 ) the materials of construction; and (3) the workforce (including here architects and architectural tracts). Part 2 - the typology - again contains three chapters on: ( 1) ecclesiastical architecture; ( 2 ) fortifications and aqueducts; and (3) domestic architecture. Using textual sources from the period (papal registers, property deeds, technical tracts and historical works), archaeological data from the Renaissance to the present day, and much new archaeological survey-work carried out in Rome and the surrounding country, I have outlined a new model for the development of architecture in the period. This emphasises the periods directly preceding and succeeding the age of the so-called "Carolingian Renaissance", pointing out new evidence for the architectural activity in these supposed dark ages.

September 14, 2017 – January 14, 2018 August 17, 2017 – New York, NY – A cooperative effort of Yeshiva University Museum, Centro Primo Levi, the Jewish Museum of Rome, the Historical Archive of the Jewish Community of Rome, NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò, American Sephardi Federation and the Center for Jewish History, the “Arch of Titus” exhibition and the Rome Lab will take New Yorkers on a journey to Ancient Rome during the formative centuries of Judaism. In complement to each other, the two projects explore the relocation of the Temple’s spoils from Jerusalem to Rome, the forms of Judaism that flourished from this rupture and the ways in which the Jewish community that remained in Rome for the twenty-one centuries that followed has retained traces of this diverse past. Among the Italian partners of the project are ENIT Italian Tourism Board, the Italian Cultural Institute and the Fondazione per i Beni Culturali Ebraici in Italia. “This exciting new program embodies two key qualities of Jewish history,” said David Myers, the new President and CEO of the Center for Jewish History.

  • The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella
    The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella (Miles I-III) - Inside the Walls By bike On foot This section of the Appian Way, called “the urban section” because it was part of the city in antiquity, starts from the central archaeological area, in front of the Circus Maximus and near the Baths of Caracalla. This is where the ancient Porta Capena (Capua Gate), the original departure point of the Appian Way and the Latin Way dating back to the Republican period, was located. The urban section ends at the Porta S. Sebastiano (St. Sebastian Gate), part of the walls built in the reign of the emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD. The monuments described along this section are currently not included in the Appia Antica Regional Park, which begins at Porta S. Sebastiano. Nevertheless, the monumental complex of the Appian Way represents a coherent context which must be described holistically beginning in the monumental center of Rome. 1) Porta Capena The Capua Gate was part of the earliest wall of Rome, called the “Servian Wall” because its construction was traditionally attributed to the sixth king of Rome, Servius Tullius, in the middle of the 6th century BC. The most recent studies confirm the existence of a wall circuit in cappellaccio tuff that can be associated chronologically with Servius Tullius, which was later restored and enlarged in the first half of the 4th century BC. The Appian and Latin Ways both started from this gate, which was located in front of the curved end of the Circus Maximus, and then separated in the area of the large square currently dedicated to Numa Pompilius.

  • In Rome the Exhibition “Menorah: Worship, History and Myth”
    In Rome the exhibition “Menorah: worship, history and myth” The seven-armed candelabrum, forged on the basis of the divine indications given to Moses, was taken by Roman troops from the Temple of Jerusalem. All traces of this object were definitively lost with the sack of Rome by the vandals led by Genseric. Jerusalem and Rome. There are so many elements linking these two cities. An exhibition hosted in the Charlemagne Wing in the Vatican and in the Jewish Museum of Rome from May 16 to July 23 - the first born of a collaboration between the Vatican City State and the Jewish community of Rome – is emphasizing one: the Menorah. A seven-armed candelabrum made of pure gold by Moses following the detailed instructions received from the Lord, the Menorah was then placed in the first Temple of Jerusalem. Over the centuries this object, whose pilgrimage has accompanied those of the people of Israel, has become a strong symbol of Jewish culture and religion. The Menorah metaphorically conjures up the light of the Lord, who through the Torah leads man to spiritual fullness, and the number seven of arms has led many to see a clear link with the biblical Shabbat, the seventh day of the week. Historian Flavio Giuseppe recounts Tito’s triumphal entry to Rome after the victory in Israel, culminating in the destruction of the second Temple of Jerusalem in 70 AD, and among the objects brought to Rome, he also describes the famous seven-armed candelabrum. It is also carved into the Triumphal Arch erected at the foot of the Palatine Hill, the Arch of Tito (81-82 AD).

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.

  • Giuseppe Stampone Official Website
    GIUSEPPE STAMPONE Stampone’s artistic quest represents the synthesis and formalisation of the concept encapsulated by the term Global Education. His artistic output ranges from interactive multimedia installations to monumental and participatory public art projects. Simultaneously, his work makes reference to the “reasons for doing” by dwelling on the ae- sthetic gratification that comes from drawing with a Bic pen. Stampone’s method is based upon the chain of relationships, collaborations, connections and participa- tions developed through the Solstizio network he founded. Global Education is a meta-project and a “formal experience”. Its purpose is to act as a catalyst to a new culture, a vita activa (Arendt) to formulate grammatical trajectories which confront and question the under- standings and unease of today’s world. On the other hand, it builds a world capable of reviving perception of experience within a new physical, mental and interactive dimension where the collective abrogates the suffering of the solitary individual and art becomes a collective binding agent thanks to the intimate core of our own experience. In this cyber age we are living in, knowledge becomes connective because everyone can interact, exchan- ging their own experiences with others in shared topics and areas of interest. “Global Education” is a project born into the light of these changes. It starts with alphabet primers drawn in Bic pen (school equipment par excellence), playing on popular themes, tags, symbols and images – often pertinent to historical facts or current events. These are followed by concept maps, slogans, interactive installations and tours in various countries of the world like the ones the artist organised for the Kochi and Havana Biennales (2012).

He would have to wait almost 32 years! It was the summer of 1982 when I, aged 24, first made my way down the Appian Way with my wife Rosemary. It was baking hot and the grass was burned yellow. We made it all the way to the imposing ruins of the Villa of the Quintilii where I posed for a photograph in front of the Nymphaeum which faced on to the ancient Roman road. Back then the Villa was not open to the public. A vast complex, the main villa structures shimmered in the heat several hundred metres to ... in Istanbul 9 the east. It was tantalizing and I always planned to try and see it properly Norah Cooper one day. I had to wait almost 32 years until February 2014 when on one of our many visits to Rome we set out once more down the Via Appia. It’s not for the faint-hearted. To get there one of the best ways is to catch bus no. 118 from the Via delle Terme di Caracalla, just near Circo Massimo metro station on Linea B. The bus shudders and jolts down the ancient Via Appia exiting Rome at the Porta San Sebastiano by the so-called Arch of Drusus.
