Submitted on 2016, 27th February; revised on 2016, 27th June; accepted on 2016, 7th July Editor: Gentile Francesco Ficetola Abstract. The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest. -

The Porta Del Popolo, Rome Pen and Brown Ink on Buff Paper
Muirhead BONE (Glasgow 1876 - Oxford 1953) The Porta del Popolo, Rome Pen and brown ink on buff paper. Signed Muirhead Bone at the lower right. 222 x 170 mm. (8 3/4 x 6 5/8 in.) One of the first trips that Muirhead Bone made outside Britain was a long stay of two years - from October 1910 to October 1912 – in central and northern Italy, accompanied by his wife Gertrude and their children. After spending several weeks in Florence, the Bone family settled in Rome in the early months of 1911, and from October 1911 lived in a flat overlooking the Piazza del Popolo. During his time in Italy Bone produced thirty-two copper plates and numerous fine drawings, several of which were sent from Italy to London and Glasgow to be sold by his dealers. A number of Bone’s drawings of Italy were exhibited at the Colnaghi and Obach gallery in London in 1914, to very positive reviews. The present sheet depicts part of the outer façade of the city gate known as the Porta del Popolo, a section part of the Aurelian Walls encircling the city of Rome. The gate was the main entrance to Rome from the Via Flaminia and the north, and was used by most travellers arriving into the city for the first time. Built by Pope Sixtus IV for the Jubilee year of 1475, the Porta del Popolo was remodelled in the 16th century under Pope Pius IV. The Pope had asked Michelangelo to design the new outer façade of the Porta, but the elderly artist passed the commission on to the architect Nanni di Baccio Bigio, who completed the work between 1562 and 1565. -

Burton’s words invoke the gallery of maps Pope Alexander VII assembled in Castel Gandolfo outside Rome in 1665 and animate Sutton Nicholls’s ink-and-wash drawing of Samuel Pepys’s library in London in 1693 (Fig. 1).2 There, in a room lined with bookcases and portraits, a map stands out, mounted on canvas and sus- pended from two cords; it is Giovanni Battista Falda’s view of Rome, published in 1676. -

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. -
OUT of the BOX a Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to Its Roots in the Heart of Rome
136 VOYAGE From Rome, Italy 137 OUT OF THE BOX A Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to its Roots in the Heart of Rome In Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the new Condominio Monti is a new boutique hotel that preserves the convivial atmosphere of its historic neighborhood, famous for its picturesque alleys and which oozes life during the day through its tiny craft shops and galleries, and by night through its trendy wineries and bars. The brainchild of entrepreneurs Kaja Osinski and Filippo Ribacchi, who helm Living Roma, Condominio Monti occupies an area of 900 square meters and has been developed within two neighboring buildings: hence the name, highlighting the intimate collective project, where attention is paid to shared spaces. Far from the aseptic standards of many major hotel chains, the new structure rewrites the concept of hospitality through 33 rooms, designed for selective travelers and design lovers, and a reception with a tailored edge. A concierge service based on the guests’ needs, offers suggestions for experiencing the Eternal City in contemporary and unconventional ways, with ad hoc illustrated itineraries at guests’ disposal in every room. The architectural and interior design, which preserves the structure of a traditional Roman house, with its bijou, but functional rooms distributed along a corridor, bears the signature of designers STUDIOTAMAT and the shades, finishes, fabrics, patterns and objects have been selected by Sabina Guidotti, founder of Bludiprussia. Photos © Condominio Monti 138 VOYAGE 139 Balanced lighting and custom-designed furnishings – from bedside tables to headboards – blend with a palette of bold colors, sophisticated wallpapers and decorative patterns that allude to the concept of "exotic", and are intended as a journey to discover “otherness”. -
The New Garden: Histories of the Garden of Ninfa
The New Garden or Histories of the Garden of Ninfa Healy Knight 4/22/20 Prologue On the bank of a small lake in the Pontine Marshes in the foothills of the Monti Lepini, the ruined walls of a medieval church stand apart like a set of ribs buried in the dirt. The church no longer has its vaulted ceiling or delicate stained-glass windows or rows of wooden pews; it is now an open air, nearly borderless temple occupied by a display of cypress trees, moss, lichen, roses and ivy. All that remain are these two walls – the back of the church, concave and settled in a dense bed of grass, and the front of the church, now doorless with a rope strung through it to keep visitors from crossing its threshold. This is the Church of the Santa Maria Maggiore, and it stands in the Caetani family’s Garden of Ninfa. This is a story of histories – ecological, fictional, chronological, mythological – that a single place holds in its ecologies, its ruins and in the residue of memory. This is the story of networks of water, roses, stones and roots. Some elements are imagined, others are indisputable, all of it is, I’ve decided, truthful. This is the story of a garden. _________________________ One very early May morning in 1964, Leila Caetani-Howard decided it was time to stop pretending to sleep and go for a morning swim. It was the last few hours before the garden would reopen to visitors after months of a restful, quiet off-season. -
Mok Restaurants ULTIMO MARCO
Rome Suite Home restaurants Dear Guests, The following is a list of suggested restaurants that we have selected throughout the years (when we were slimmer… but we had to do big sacrifices and efforts to give you the best tips!). Because of the area in which they are located (downtown but authentic and not “tourist oriented”), the quality of the food (we have always had great meals there) and the reasonable price (15 to 30Euro each – depending on the wine you choose and how hungry you are), we feel like suggesting these places: these are not tourist traps but REAL ROMAN RESTAURANTS and PIZZERIAS where WE also go with our family and friends. S Vecchia Roma – Via Ferruccio, 12 (Esquilino, 3mins walking) The best AMATRICIANA ever! This is a typical restaurant where the house special is the Amatriciana (typical Roman pasta with tomato sauce, pork cheeks and pecorino cheese). Once ready, they throw the Amatriciana in the Pecorino cheese case where they add some pure alcohol and then they flame it up so that the cheese in the case melts in it making it soooo tasty! The pizza is very good as well and all the dishes from the Roman tradition (trippa, antipasti fritti, coda alla vaccinara, etc.) are made in the real traditional way. It is close to Santa Maria Maggiore, not far from Termini Station. Ph. +39 06 44 67 143 – www.trattoriavecchiaroma.it – Closed on Sundays and August S La Carbonara – Via Panisperna, 214 (Rione Monti, 5mins walking) There is one more famous in Campo de’ Fiori, but according to us that one is overpriced due to its “name”. -
