  • Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale D’Arte Antica
    Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica El Palazzo Barberini, situado en la confluencia de una de las vías más importantes de la ciudad de Roma, la Via del Tritone, es uno de los lugares de Roma que merece la pena visitar. Antigua residencia de la familia Barberini, depositaria de uno de los linejes papales más afamados, el Palazzo Barberini, una vez musealizado, se ha convertido en Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, uno de los museos más prestigiosos y con mayor número de obras de arte de la Ciudad Eterna. El palacio, obra del arquitecto barroco Carlo Maderno y con intervención de Gian Lorenzo Bernini y Francesco Borromini, se convirtió en un referente a la hora de la construcción de palacios urbanos, ya que unía entre sus características las propias del palacio urbano y la villa campestre adornada con grandes jardines. Así pues, la propiedad de la familia Barberini y los bienes que poseía, fueron comprados por el recién creado estado italiano y, gracias al incremento de la colección Corsini, la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica se trasladó desde su antigua ubicación hasta el presente palacio. Paseando por sus dos niveles repletos de obras maravillosas, recreándote en cada una de ellas, porque cada una de ellas es especial, admirando los Tiziano, los Greco, los Bernini, los Caravaggio, los Guido Reni, acostarte para dejarte deslumbrar por el gigantesco techo con el “Triunfo de la Divina Providencia” de Pietro da Cortona... Un sinfín de objetos para alimentar el disfrute tanto del alma como del espíritu. O simplemente pasear por los jardines de la villa, un oasis de tranquilidad en medio de una ciudad populosa.

Department of Classics, June, 2018. ADVISOR: Hans-Friedrich Mueller. I analyze the Pantheon, one of the most well-preserVed buildings from antiquity, through time. I start with Agrippa's Pantheon, the original Pantheon that is no longer standing, which was built in 27 or 25 BC. What did it look like originally under Augustus? Why was it built? We then shift to the Pantheon that stands today, Hadrian-Trajan's Pantheon, which was completed around AD 125-128, and represents an example of an architectural reVolution. Was it eVen a temple? We also look at the Pantheon's conversion to a church, which helps explain why it is so well preserVed.

  • 2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo Dell'istruzione
    2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo dell’istruzione The building which hosts the head offices of the Italian Ministry of Education was designed by the architect Cesare Bazzani, well known in those days for having built also Palazzo delle Belle Arti (Palace of Fine Arts), which now hosts the National Gallery of Modern Art. The construction of the Palace, started in 1912, was completed only in 1928. The building recalls the style and the eclectic taste of the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Its monumental architectural forms, inspired by Classicism, are softened by the baroque lines which liven up the facade, enriched in the front as well as in the internal spaces by an important series of ornaments and symbolic decorations with book-shaped capitals, grotesque caryatids, battering- ram heads, flower garlands. From the monumental Hall which introduces to the Palace, you can access the Courtyard of Honour, currently used for commemorative and prize-giving ceremonies at the end of the school year. On the sides of the Hall, two Honour Staircases, made of white marble, lead to the Minister’s Offices and to the Ministry representative rooms (Ministers’ Hall, Minister’s and Head of Cabinet’s Offices) decorated by Antonino Calcagnadoro, Paolo Paschetto and Rodolfo Villani in the year 1928. The paintings, made with the cold encaustic and the casein glue poster paint, two of the oldest and most traditional techniques of Italian Art, depict some allegorical figures: Literature, Science, Wisdom, History, Genius and Art. The series, painted by Calcagnodoro for the decoration of the Ministers’ Hall, is particularly valuable. It is a sequence which illustrates Education and 1 Knowledge in the various stages of Italian history with the depiction of some of its most important representatives: Dante Alighieri, San Francesco and Santa Chiara, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Sanzio, Benvenuto Cellini, Michelangelo Merisi.
