The tour moved through these PARIS places too quickly, and the bus was just not very LONDON comfortable, especially when you had to sit in it click to jump for an average of six hours every day. We looked at other Europe tours and found they were all the INTRODUCTION: same — stuck on the bus, changing cities every day, using hotels far from the center of town. This detailed book about our Rome to London The result was a very superficial tour that was train trip gives you an accurate idea of what the extremely tiring, and really did not show you very experience is all about. It describes the events of much. each day as they happen, so it is like a diary or a scrapbook of the tour. During the past 24 years we have conducted this trip 32 times, and have developed an ideal outline of events that take place each day, with a very efficient sequence of things that we see and do. Of course there are always minor variations in the daily routine described here, and there is some free time each day for you to pursue particular interests.

  • WALK ONE Campo Dei Fiori; Small Lanes; Chiesa Nuova; Piazza Navona
    WALK ONE Campo dei Fiori; small lanes; Chiesa Nuova; Piazza Navona. CAMPO DEI FIORI Begin your first morning in the center of Rome at Campo dei Fiori, the best outdoor fruit and vegetable market. Then spend the rest of the day on a walking tour through some of the most fascinating and historic neighborhoods within the curve of the Tiber River. Campo dei Fiori is teeming with friendly people, tasty fruits, vibrant colors, animated conversations, varieties of vegetables, sweet smells, energetic vendors, local shoppers, and atmo- sphere galore. This setting is perfect, surrounded by very old buildings with cobbled pedestrian lanes leading off in all direc- tions into a great neighborhood we shall explore next. This friendly and lively piazza is one of the major focal points of the city, just three blocks south of Piazza Navona (coming up later in this walk) and an easy walk if your hotel is in the historic center. If you’re staying further away, take a taxi. Arriving any time in the morning is good, but earlier is better. Campo dei Fiori makes a great startfor our walk: it is the only main attraction opening by 6am and it is simply a wonderful morning scene. This magical Campo has multiple personali- ties, changing character throughout the day: Rome’s main veg- gie market in the morning, a ring of busy restaurants at lunch, peaceful in the afternoon, and a party scene at night. Campo dei Fiori’s produce stands are very popular with the nearby residents and chefs seeking fresh items on their daily shopping rounds.

  • Chiesa Di San Luigi Dei Francesi in Campo Marzio
    (092/37) Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi in Campo Marzio San Luigi dei Francesi is the 16th century titular and French national church located near Piazza Navona in rione VIII (Sant’Eustachio). The full dedication is to the Blessed Virgin Mary, St Dionysius (St Denis) and St Louis IX, King of France. History: The site was acquired by the French community in Rome from the monks of the Abbey of Farfam in 1478. The deal was facilitated by Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville. Pope Sixtus IV approved the project, sponsored by King Louis XI, and authorized the foundation of the Confraternita della Concezione della Beata Vergine Maria, San Dionigi et San Luigi Re di Francia, the ancestor of the present Les Pieux Etablissements. The area was full of remains of Roman buildings, including the Baths of Alexander Severus and the Baths of Nero. Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484) confirmed the exchange uniting various small churches into a single parish in honor of “The Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Dionigi (Denis) and St. Louis, King of France” (patron saints of the French nation), and also set up a Confraternity with the same name to manage the area. In the early 16th century, the Medici family took over. Cardinal Giulio de Medici, later Pope Clement VII, commissioned Jean de Chenevière to build a small round church for the French community here in 1518. Building was halted when Rome was sacked in 1527. In the mid-16th century, with the support from Caterina de’Medici who lived in the nearby Palazzo Madama, a new church was begun.

    THE FLORENTINE HOUSE OF MEDICI (1389-1743): POLITICS, PATRONAGE, AND THE USE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SHAPING THE RENAISSANCE By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP A thesis submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. and approved by _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Florentine House of Medici (1389-1743): Politics, Patronage, and the Use of Cultural Heritage in Shaping the Renaissance By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP Thesis Director: Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. A great many individuals and families of historical prominence contributed to the development of the Italian and larger European Renaissance through acts of patronage. Among them was the Florentine House of Medici. The Medici were an Italian noble house that served first as the de facto rulers of Florence, and then as Grand Dukes of Tuscany, from the mid-15th century to the mid-18th century. This thesis evaluates the contributions of eight consequential members of the Florentine Medici family, Cosimo di Giovanni, Lorenzo di Giovanni, Giovanni di Lorenzo, Cosimo I, Cosimo II, Cosimo III, Gian Gastone, and Anna Maria Luisa, and their acts of artistic, literary, scientific, and architectural patronage that contributed to the cultural heritage of Florence, Italy. This thesis also explores relevant social, political, economic, and geopolitical conditions over the course of the Medici dynasty, and incorporates primary research derived from a conversation and an interview with specialists in Florence in order to present a more contextual analysis.
