Enjoy your travels Alexei Cohen Digital Editor INTRODUCING ITALY No matter how much time you have Italy will leave you feeling like you missed something. Even if you concentrate on a single city or region the possibility of seeing every painting, piazza, or church is impossible. It’s best therefore not to cram too much into whatever time you do have and take a relaxed approach. Although the country is not very large it’s incredibly dense and there are a thousand places to get sidetracked. Five days is usually enough to see a couple of large cities or start to explore a region. Ten days and you can get off the beaten track, stop checking your watch and cross over to one of the islands. Anything over two weeks is ideal and will be appreciated by all your senses. Air, train, and road transportation make getting around easy. If you want to explore some of the wilder landscapes or are heading to the mountains a car saves time and provides the freedom to make discoveries that you’d miss otherwise. When To Go Tourism is a year round reality in Italy that peaks in August and during the Christmas and Easter holidays. There is no single best time to visit and what period you choose depends on personal preference in weather, cost, service, and elbow room. As far as climate is concerned summers are warm and winters are mild with regional variation between Alpine and coastal zones. The Tyrrhenian is generally warmer than the Adriatic and July and August can be unbearably hot while mountain areas remain cool. Temperatures drop the higher you climb up the Alps and snow covers the Central Apennines until April. Italy is drier than North America and there’s less humidity. Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta are wet in spring and you can count on rain in Rome throughout November. Spring and fall are pleasant throughout the country. With the exception of Easter there are less tourists waiting in line and hotels charge mid-season rates. Some resort towns, especially on islands may be closed, but dining al fresco is possible and restaurants start putting out tables in April. Mediterranean vegetation doesn’t provide the spectacular fall colors of New England but there is bright foliage in Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo and along the back roads of Umbria. Autumn is also harvest time when sagre festivals celebrate everything from apples in Trentino to truffles in Tuscany. New vintage are bottled and wine flows freely in Chianti. By September Italian schools have started again and beaches are virtually abandoned. Summer is by far the most popular time to visit. Everyone wants to see Italy under blue skies and hotels take advantage of demand to raise their prices. Airlines also charge their highest fares and tickets should be purchased well in advance. You’re more likely to hear German, French, and English in Florence and Venice than Italian. Reservations are mandatory and if you’ll be traveling by car expect traffic. The majority of Italians go on vacation in August and over 70 percent decide to remain within the country. Weather is good up and down the peninsula and waters are at their warmest. Sardinia is the most popular destination and sand disappears under a thousands of beach towels. The flip side of this mass exodus is that you’re less likely to be hit by a moped in Naples or Rome. Temperatures, however, can rise into the 100s and many bars, shops, and restaurants close. Nearly every city has a summer festival with nightly events in historic piazzas and villas. Paul McCartney, Simon and Garfunkle, and Billy Joel have all played in the shadow of the coliseum in August. Siena’s famous Palio horse race is held in July and Rossini operas are sung in Pesaro the entire season. Winter is packed with religious festivals and nativity scenes start to appear in churches on the first of December. Some cities have their own particularly holiday. Milan celebrates St. Ambrose, Trieste gives thanks to St. Giusto, and there’s St. Nicola in Bari. Each comes with mouth-watering delicacies and flavors vary month-by-month. Children look forward to January 6th when La Befana brings them an assortment of treats. Christmas is generally less commercial and if you want a white one it’s best to spend it in Aosta or Trentino. There are dozens of picturesque Christmas markets in the north and locals stay warm with hot wine that’s served with pretzels in Alto Adige. Carnival isn’t just held in Venice and the Tuscan and Sardinian versions are equally festive. Winter is also the best time to hit the slopes and Italian ski resorts offer a variety of activities besides classic downhill and cross country. Many Italians take a settimana bianca or white week in February and lift lines are longer than usual. Weather remains mild in Southern Italy and temperatures in Puglia and Calabria remain in the 50s. There are less tourists in winter and even St. Marks Square is unusually quite. Art lovers will get to spend quality time with their favorite paintings without standing on their toes. Accommodation is more affordable and last minute travelers will have no problem finding a room. What To Bring The contents of your suitcase depends on the season and length of stay. Beware of overpacking and select comfortable clothing that can easily be mixed and matched. Layers are important in spring and fall when mornings are chilly and temperatures vary throughout the day. A bag with wheels will make getting around airports and to the next hotel easier. Backpacks or handbags are good for storing items you’ll take on daily excursions and should have zippers to dissuade pickpockets. It’s probably best to leave expensive watches at home and travel without any flashy jewelry. A money belt can be useful for storing necessary valuables and cash. Some formal clothes may be necessary if you plan on any fine dining or clubbing. Italians generally like to dress up and rarely let their fashion guard down. Flip-flops are fine for the beach but the Swiss Guard won’t permit them inside the Vatican. Keep in mind knees and shoulders must be covered when entering religious buildings. Sun glasses are essential during the summer especially if you’ll be doing any driving and baseball hats are useful even if they aren’t often worn by Italians. A high spf sun lotion is vital if you’re heading for the beach and bug repellent will come in handy in the countryside or sitting around the campfire. You’ll probably do more walking in Italy than at home and it’s hazardous for your feet to break in a new pair of shoes on cobblestone streets. Bring at least two comfortable pairs especially if you’ll be hiking. If you’re only off for a week it may be useful to buy sample size shampoo, toothpaste, and soap that will keep weight down and cause less damage if they accidentally open. If you forget something you shouldn’t have a problem finding it in Italy and pharmacies are especially useful for replacing lost toiletries or picking up aspirin. If you take prescription drugs make sure to bring enough and have a copy of the prescription in case you need a refill.

  • Planning Versus Fortification: Sangallo's Project for the Defence of Rome Simon Pepper
    Fort Vol. 2 1976 Planning versus fortification: Sangallo's project for the defence of Rome Simon Pepper Since 1527, when Rome had been captured and sacked by the mutinous soldiers of Charles V, it had been clear that the defences of the Papal capital were hopelessly outdated. The walls of the Borgo (the Vatican precinct) were constructed during the pontificate of Leo IV (847-855): those of Trastevere and the left bank, enclosing by far the largest part of the city, dated from the reign of the Emperor Aurelian (AD270-75) [1]. Impressive both for their length and antiquity, these walls were poorly maintained and fundamentally unsuitable for defence against gunpowder artillery. In 1534 the Romans were once again forcefully reminded of their vulnerability when a large Turkish fleet moored off the Tiber estuary. Fortunately the hostile intentions of the Turks were directed elsewhere: after taking on fresh water they sailed north to raid the Tuscan coastline. But in the immediate aftermath of the Turkish scare the newly elected Paul III committed himself to an ambitious scheme of re-fortification. Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, advised by many of the leading architects and soldiers employed by the Pope, was commissioned to submit design proposals [2]. Father Alberto Guglielmotti, the nineteenth-century historian of the Papal armed forces, tells us that Sangallo and his consultants decided to replace the Aurelian wall with a new line of works defending the developed areas on both banks of the river. The 18000 metre Aurelian circumfer- ence was to be reduced by half, a decision which is not difficult to understand when one glances at a contemporary map of the city.

  • ARCH5111E the Great Beauty: the Design of an Aesthetic Clinic and A
    ARCH5111E The Great Beauty: The design of an aesthetic clinic and a fashion house HQ in the former slaughterhouse complex in Rome (Design Studio in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology) 2016‐17 Term I Instructor: STEFANO MILANI contact info: [email protected] Student Assistant: Still image from the movie The Great Beauty (2013) DESCRIPTION This studio will be executed in parallel with the Chair of Public Building/Architectural Composition of Delft University of Technology (TUD) led by Michiel Riedijk. There will be the opportunity for students from the different universities to exchange, collaborate and share their insights on the project through workshop and review. The project is part of the activities activated by the Bilateral Teaching Exchange 2016‐2017 between CUHK and TUD aiming to develop a cultural bridge between East and West where students exchange information and ideas and during a series of shared workshop‐meetings. Students will experience the impact of working in a different physical and cultural context and learn from each other’s methodologies. Students signed up for the studio must travel to Rome for the workshop/ review. School of architecture will provide minimal subsidies for this travel at approximately 3,000 HKD per student. Students will be responsible for the remaining costs. Introduction Despite the stereotypical definition of the ‘Eternal City’ ‐ conventionally attributed to Emperor Adrian and traced back to his Memories ‐ Rome has undergone many radical transformations throughout the centuries that left numerous evidences of unresolved conflicts in the resulting urban form which became one of the most peculiar characters of the city.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

  • Waste: Rome's Economy of Reuse
    CHAPTER 5. WASTE: ROME’S ECONOMY OF REUSE I am inside a cylindrical structure, about two meters deep and a bit less in diameter. Squatting at the bottom to examine the lower surface I glance up to see the towering structures of the imper- ial palaces on the Palatine Hill, framed in the circular opening above. My assignment is to make a drawing of the surfaces of the walls, rough bricks partially coated with what appears to be vitrified stone. The non-profit institute I helped launch — and headed for several years — has partnered with Stanford and Oxford univer- sities to carry out field research at the base of the Palatine Hill, behind the Temple of Castor and Pollux and along the Vicus Tuscus, an ancient road of Etruscan origins connecting the Tiber river to the Roman Forum. As architect for the project I move 86 ROME WORKS from trench to trench, drawing plans and sections while young archaeologists work in the dust with trowels and brushes, col- lecting their finds in ziplock bags. My training has prepared me to represent on paper my proposals for the future, and to document existing conditions in prepara- tion for renovations, but documenting the past as it is revealed is a new experience. Instead of a single phase there are many, and the lines between them are hard to discern. It is challenging to “reconstruct” the building sequence while deconstructing the stratigraphy, and to do so without destroying the very object of study. The students from California, in particular, work slowly, in awe of the age of the fragments they uncover, and fearful of making irreversible mistakes on a site which has seen two mil- lennia of human occupation.
