  • Trevi Fountain Rome, Italy Trevi Fountain: Rome, Italy the Architects
    Trevi Fountain Rome, Italy Trevi Fountain: Rome, Italy The Architects The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is the most famous and arguably Little of Nicola Salvi’s (1697–1751) work beyond the Trevi Fountain remains the most beautiful fountain in Rome. This impressive Baroque-styled today and relatively little is known of the architect himself. He was monument was completed in 1762 and still dominates the small Trevi admitted to the Roman Academy of Arcadia in 1717 and only became square located in the city’s Quirinale district. an architect after studying mathematics and philosophy. His friend and colleague, the sculptor Pietro Bracci (1700–1773), would eventually go on to complete the fountain. Bracci’s most famous piece of work, the statue of Oceanus, forms the centerpiece of the fountain. 2 History The imposing fountain sits at the junction of three roads, or tre vie, which many believe gave the fountain its name, and marks the terminal point of one of the original aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. Built by Marcu Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC, the Aqua Virgo aqueduct was over 13 miles (21 km) long and even then had a fountain at its terminus. The aqueduct and fountain served Rome for over 400 years, but after the invasion of the Goths in AD 537, the aqueduct was cut off and the final portion abandoned, forcing the medieval Romans to draw water from wells and the River Tiber. It would be over 1,000 years, and the advent of the Early Renaissance period, before a fountain would again stand in the location we know today.

    UC Berkeley Room One Thousand Title Water's Pilgrimage in Rome Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7hq5t8mm Journal Room One Thousand, 3(3) ISSN 2328-4161 Author Rinne, Katherine Publication Date 2015 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Katherine Rinne Illustration by Rebecca Sunter Water’s Pilgrimage in Rome “If I were called in To construct a religion I should make use of water.” From Philip Larkin, “Water,” 1964 Rome is one of the world’s most hallowed pilgrimage destinations. Each year, the Eternal City’s numinous qualities draw millions of devout Christians to undertake a pilgrimage there just as they have for nearly two millennia. Visiting the most venerable sites, culminating with St. Peter’s, the Mother Church of Catholicism, the processional journey often reinvigorates faith among believers. It is a cleansing experience for them, a reflective pause in their daily lives and yearly routines. Millions more arrive in Rome with more secular agendas. With equal zeal they set out on touristic, educational, gastronomic, and retail pilgrimages. Indeed, when in Rome, I dedicate at least a full and fervent day to “La Sacra Giornata di Acquistare le Scarpe,” the holy day of shoe shopping, when I visit each of my favorite stores like so many shrines along a sacred way. Although shoes are crucial to our narrative and to the completion of any pilgrimage conducted on Opposite: The Trevi Fountain, 2007. Photo by David Iliff; License: CC-BY-SA 3.0. 27 Katherine Rinne foot, our interest in this essay lies elsewhere, in rededicating Rome’s vital role as a city of reflective pilgrimage by divining water’s hidden course beneath our feet (in shoes, old or new) as it flows out to public fountains in an otherwise parched city.

    ONE The Life of the Blessed Virgin Margherita of the Family Name Colonna, by Giovanni Colonna The first “life” of Margherita Colonna was composed by her older brother, the Roman senator Giovanni Colonna. It was begun shortly after her death on 30 December 1280 and was completed before 1285. Our translation is based on the text edited in DV, 111–88, compared with Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense ms. 104, folios 1–26.1 We have found very few errors in Oliger’s edition, and we have accepted the vast ma- jority of his emendations where passages seem to have been miscopied by the scribe or corrupted at an earlier stage of transmission. Chapter numbers follow those established by Oliger, but for paragraph breaks within chapters we have sometimes deviated from his editorial decisions. 1. For Vita I and Vita II, we have had the benefit of the Italian translation re- cently published in Attilio Cadderi (P. Carlo, O.F.M.), Beata Margherita Colonna (1255–1280): Le due vite scritte dal fratello Giovanni, senatore di Roma e da Stefania, monaca di San Silvestro in Capite, ed. Celeste Fornari and Luigi Borzi (Palestrina, 2010). We have generally preferred a style of translation that stays closer to the Latin, but Cadderi’s Italian has been helpful in considering possible interpretations of difficult passages. 65 © 2017 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 66 VISIONS OF SAINTHOOD IN MEDIEVAL ROME CHAPTER I. HERE BEGINS THE LIFE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARGHERITA, OF THE FAMILY NAME COLONNA2 Margherita was born of a noble line of Romans.3 While she remained “in her family household,”4 not yet having left the secular world but having lost her more worthy parent,5 she came under the tutelage of her mother and her brothers.6 Then, while she was still a very young girl, her mother died.7 But although she was released from a mother’s [over- sight],8 she did not misuse the freedom granted her to do as she pleased; rather, she willingly placed herself under the control and direction of the [elder]9 of her brothers so that she might live with him in a more modest fashion.
