Prof. Bernard Hoffert Physical Ratings Explore the treasures of the Eternal City, from the Etruscans through to the 21st century, with art history expert Emeritus Professor Bernard Hoffert. Overview Join Emeritus Professor Bernard Hoffert in Rome on a program that explores the enduring yet ever- changing nature of this extraordinary city. In Tarquinia, north of Rome, discover the exquisite beauty of Etruscan wall painting at the UNESCO site of the Necropoli dei Monterozzi and view fine Etruscan sculpture at the Villa Giulia. Marvel at the extraordinary ancient Roman architectural and engineering feats like the Pantheon and the revolutionary Roman documentary realism in the sculpture of Augustus’ Ara Pacis Augustae. Admire the glistening Early Christian and medieval mosaics that convey a sense of a transcendent world in churches such as Santa Prassede, Santa Maria Maggiore, San Clemente and Santa Maria in Trastevere. View Michelangelo’s awesome God of Creation on the Sistine Ceiling and his terrifying Just Christ of the Last Judgement, as well as Raphael’s superb frescoes in the Vatican Stanze and the Villa Farnesina.

Contemplate Caravaggio’s portrayal of deep spiritual awakening in his St Matthew cycle in the church of San Luigi dei Francesi, and his Crucifixion of Saint Peter and Conversion of St Paul at Santa Maria del Popolo, and witness the revolutionary illusionism and high drama of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s sculptures at the Villa Borghese. -

10/29/2010 1 Primus Adventus ad Romam Urbem Aeternam Your First Visit to Rome The Eternal City 2 Accessimus in Urbe AeternA! • Welcome, traveler! Avoiding the travails of the road, you arrived by ship at the port of Ostia; from there, you’ve had a short journey up the Via Ostiensis into Roma herself. What do you see there? 3 Quam pulchra est urbs aeterna! • What is there to see in Rome? • What are some monuments you have heard of? • How old are the buildings in Rome? • How long would it take you to see everything important? 4 Map of Roma 5 The Roman Forum • “According to the Roman legend, Romulus and Tatius, after the mediation of the Sabine women, met on the very spot where the battle had been fought, and made peace and an alliance. The spot, a low, damp, grassy field, exposed to the floods of the river Spinon, took the name of “Comitium” from the verb coire, to assemble. It is possible that, in consequence of the alliance, a road connecting the Sabine and the Roman settlements was made across these swamps; it became afterwards the Sacra Via…. 6 The Roman Forum • “…Tullus Hostilius, the third king, built a stone inclosure on the Comitium, for the meeting of the Senators, named from him Curia Hostilia; then came the state prison built by Ancus Marcius in one of the quarries (the Tullianum). The Tarquin [kings] drained the land, gave the Forum a regular (trapezoidal) shape, divided the space around its borders into building- lots, and sold them to private speculators for shops and houses, the fronts of which were to be lined with porticoes.” --Rodolfo Lanciani, The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome, 1897, p. -

A Virtual Train Journey Along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome
Italian Culture Newsletter Number 22 A Virtual Train Journey along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome. Marie and I have made this journey on a number of occasions. In doing so we have either made the journey in a single day albeit with a change of train, usually at Genova. On other occasions, we have spent an evening or even a few days at Genova and/or at Livorno or Pisa. The journey described will involve more stops on the way but could be more interesting on that account. The trip begins in Ventimiglia where we stayed overnight on our last day of our last holiday in Italy. This had been occasioned by the French railway strike which prevented any trains from running from Ventimiglia to Nice on the day of our arrival from Rome into the city at the Italian- French border in Liguria. Our first visit to Ventimiglia was in 2006 when some Italian friends from Cuneo, due north of Ventimiglia, in Piemonte, met us at the rail station in Ventimiglia to take us for a short stay at their apartment in Nice. On that occasion we didn’t see much of the city except for part of the old medieval town, which now mostly is the home of many of the southerners from Naples, Calabria and Sicily who moved north seeking employment after WWII. The old town is perched high above the new city with its long sea-front promenade and railway station. Ventimiglia is the ancient Albium Intemelium, the capital of the Intemelii, a Ligurian tribe which long resisted the Romans, until in 115 BC it was forced to submit to Marcus Aemilius Scaurus. -
Chigi Palace
- Chigi Palace - English Version Traduzione di Giovanna Gallo Ancient palace of the Sixteenth century located in the heart of Rome, it was conceived by Pietro Aldobrandini, Pope Clement VII’s brother and an important representative of the Roman aristocracy. The idea of the original plan, entrusted to the Umbrian architect Bartolini from Città di Castello, was to enlarge a pre-existent block of buildings, to incorporate some more houses and to construct a single building made of three floors with the main entrance on Via del Corso. The ownership of the palace was rather unstable because it was handed several times to other Families, such as the Detis, for almost a whole century, until 1659 when it was purchased by the Chigi family, among whose members there were also some cardinals and one Pope, Alexander VII. The Chigis were rich bankers with Sienese origins and backers of the Vatican and they changed the frame of the building, that was thus named after them. At least for two centuries the palace has been the residence of some aristocratic families and, later on, it became the seat at first of the Spanish Embassy (around the second half of the XVIIIth century ), then of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, being sold at last by the Chigis themselves to the Kingdom of Italy ( Regno d’Italia ) in 1916, when it was assigned to become the seat of the Ministero delle Colonie ( Ministry of Colonial Affairs). In 1922 Benito Mussolini, both as Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, ordered to transfer there the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. -
