Welcome to Rome Even in a country of exquisite cities like Italy, Rome is special. Epic, hot-blooded and achingly beautiful, it’s a heady mix of haunting ruins, awe-inspiring art, iconic monuments and vibrant street life. Rome’s historic cityscape, the result of 3000 years ROME of ad hoc urban development, is an exhilarating spectacle. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, TOP SIGHTS, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES Roman Forum and Pantheon recall its golden age as caput mundi (capital of the world), while barn- storming basilicas testify to its historical role as seat of the Catholic Church. The city’s artistic heritage is also astonishing. Throughout history, Rome has starred in the great upheavals of Western art, drawing the top artists of the day and inspiring them to push the boundaries of creative achievement. The result is a city awash with priceless treasures. Ancient statues adorn world-class museums, Byzantine mosaics and Renaissance frescoes dazzle in art-rich churches, baroque fountains embellish medieval piazzas. Walk around the centre and without even trying you’ll come across masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini. But a trip to Rome is as much about lapping up the dolce vita lifestyle as gorging on art and culture. Whiling away hours at streetside cafes, idling on pretty piazzas, dining in boisterous neighbourhood trattorias – these are all an integral and enjoyable part of the Roman experience.

    Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)

    DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

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.

    SEZIONI MOSTRA L’esposizione è suddivisa in tre sezioni : Prima della Spina La Spina dei Borghi Cavare la “spina” a San Pietro PRIMA DELLA SPINA Tramite sculture, affreschi, disegni, dipinti e cartografie si racconterà come questo territorio passò dall’essere marginale e inospitale ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma divenendone parte integrante. Escluso dal perimetro delle mura, povero e malsano a causa dei frequenti straripamenti del Tevere, questo territorio iniziò ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma solo a partire dalla prima età imperiale. A seguito di interventi di bonifica furono realizzate le prime ville suburbane le più famose delle quali appartenevano ad Agrippina e Domizia. Giardini dal ricco arredo scultoreo si alternavano a costruzioni sfruttando scenograficamente la topografia dei luoghi, vicini al fiume e prossimi ai rilievi del colle Vaticano, del Monte Santo Spirito e del Gianicolo. Lungo le due strade principali che attraversavano la zona, la via Triumphalis e la via Cornelia, si addensarono diversi monumenti funerari (tra le memorie più evidenti, oggi, il mausoleo di Adriano, la necropoli vaticana – sotto la Basilica – e quella dell’Autoparco Vaticano e di S. Rosa). Se il termine “ Vaticano ” è oggi immediatamente riconducibile a San Pietro e al cristianesimo, in età imperiale ebbe una valenza fortemente pagana : quest’area ospitò infatti un luogo di culto dedicato alla dea frigia Cibele chiamato, per l’appunto, Vaticanum o Phrygianum Vaticanum frequentato ancora fin quasi alla fine del IV sec. d.C ., in compresenza e forse in contrapposizione alla nuova fede emergente, il cristianesimo. Nel corso dell’alto medioevo, intorno alla Basilica si sviluppò una vera e propria area sacra con monasteri, diaconie, chiese: burgs era il termine con cui i pellegrini germanici definivano l’agglomerato da cui “Borgo”.

Spolia from the Baths of Caracallain Sta. Maria in Trastevere Dale Kinney Eight third-century Ionic capitals with images of Isis, Serapis, and Harpocrates, now in the nave colonnades of Sta. Maria in Trastevere, were taken from one or both of the rooms currently identified as libraries in the Baths of Caracalla. The capitals were transferred around 1140, when the church was rebuilt by Pope In- nocent II. The capitals would have been acquired by confiscation, juridically the pope's prerogative as head of the papal state; the lavish display of all kinds of spolia in Sta. Maria in Trastevere is here interpreted as a self-conscious demon- stration of that prerogative. The identity of the capitals' pagan images would have been unknown to most twelfth-century observers, because the only accessible keys to the correct identifications were one sentence in Varro's De lingua latina and another in Saint Augustine's De civitate Dei.

    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.
