Integrated and Advanced Techniques of Survey for the Definition of Lost Facies of the Monumental Architecture
Integrated and advanced techniques of survey for the definition of lost facies of the monumental architecture Saverio D’Auria, Giuseppe Sini, Rodolfo Maria Strollo LAREA, Engineering Macroarea, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy Keywords: laser-scanning, aerial photogrammetry, architectural survey, philological reconstruction Abstract The analysis of an architecture characterized by geometrical, functional and historical complexity requires the fundamental and crucial acquisition of metrics data, iconographic and archival documents, followed by a correct comparison and interpretation of the collected information. The aim of this process is to give a precise critical interpretation of the building - or some of its specific areas - as close as possible to reality such as to allow a reliable reconstruction of those aspects that got possibly lost over time. In the specific case, this approach wants to offer a vital support to the study of those aspects of the monumental architecture that have been heavily altered by inappropriate interventions. In this paper, the methodological process is related to a quite large number of interventions on Villa Mondragone in Monte Porzio Catone (Rome), the largest among the princely houses of the Tuscolan Complex. The task, here, is to get an accurate reconstruction of the facades facing Piazzale Maggiore, a large inner courtyard of the vast complex, focusing in particular on the latest large process of transformation, started nearly a century ago. We based our study on bibliographical sources, on recent years’ historical data researches and on the analysis of the iconographic documentation, as well as on surveys of the state of fact by using different techniques. A considerable support to the research came from the use of the new survey technologies, which the main object of this article.

Frascati and “Castelli Romani”
Villa Aldobrandini Frascati Frascati and “Castelli Romani” ” The expression “Castelli Romani” translates literally “Roman Castles”, name derived from the villages arisen Albano Lake around the Popes’ villas and the rich palaces of the noble families who chose these sites for their summer residences, but in fact the name refers to a collection of wine-producing hill-towns in the south-east of Rome. These small towns and villages – Castel Gandolfo, Frascati, Grottaferrata, Rocca di Papa, Marino, Albano, Ariccia, Nemi among the others - scattered over the wooded slopes of the Alban Hills (Colli Albani), a landscape created by long-ago volcanic activity. The circular craters of Lake Nemi and Lake Albano, testament to the area's geological past, are among the most attractive natural features of Lazio. The Cathedral Piazza S.

Henry James Italian Hours
HENRY JAMES ITALIAN HOURS 2008 – All rights reserved Non commercial use permitted ITALIAN HOURS BY HENRY JAMES PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 1909 PREFACE The chapters of which this volume is composed have with few exceptions already been collected, and were then associated with others commemorative of other impressions of (no very extensive) excursions and wanderings. The notes on various visits to Italy are here for the first time exclusively placed together, and as they largely refer to quite other days than these--the date affixed to each paper sufficiently indicating this--I have introduced a few passages that speak for a later and in some cases a frequently repeated vision of the places and scenes in question. I have not hesitated to amend my text, expressively, wherever it seemed urgently to ask for this, though I have not pretended to add the element of information or the weight of curious and critical insistence to a brief record of light inquiries and conclusions. The fond appeal of the observer concerned is all to aspects and appearances--above all to the interesting face of things as it mainly <i>used</i> to be. H. J.
