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.

This collaborative research effort is called the Rome Reborn Project in honor of the first systematic study of Roman topography, Flavio Biondo's mid-fifteenth century Roma Instaurata (de Grummond 1996: 160-61). Since January, 1998 the project has been housed in the UCLA Cultural VR Lab, which was created with support from Intel, the Creative Kids Education Foundation, Mr. Kirk Mathews, the UCLA Division of Humanities, the UCLA Humanities Computing Facility, the UCLA Center for Digital Innovation, the UCLA Graduate Division, the UCLA Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, and the UCLA College of Letters and Science. The Lab's mission is to provide technology support for projects like Rome Reborn that strive to recreate authenticated three-dimensional computer models of sites of great historic and cultural interest around the world.

St. Peter's Basilica
UF “ROME PROJECT” LESSON 1 Reading and comprehension COLOSSEUM The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome. It’s the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. It is elliptical in plan and it’s 188 metres long. Inside the Colosseum there were about 50,000 seats for the spectators. The height of the outer wall is 48 meters. The Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions and dramas based on Classical mythology. The Colosseum is one of the symbols of Imperial Rome. ST. PETER’S BASILICA The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter is commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica and it is a Late Renaissance church located within the Vatican City. In Roman Catholic tradition, the basilica is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. The basilica is within a forecourt in two sections, both surrounded by tall colonnades. The basilica is cruciform in shape, with an elongated nave in the Latin cross form. The basilica contains a large number of tombs of popes considered outstanding artworks. There are also a number of sculptures in niches and chapels, including Michelangelo’s “Pieta”. The central feature is a baldachin over the Papal Altar designed by Lorenzo Bernini. The Basilica of St. Peter is one of four papal basilicas (Major Basilicas) of Rome: the other basilicas are The Basilica of St. John Lateran, Santa Maria Maggiore and St.

Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

The Renaissance- Common Part B and C Questions- Sometimes Worth 5/10/15 Marks
Caroline Mc Corriston The Renaissance- Common Part b and c questions- sometimes worth 5/10/15 marks 1. Discuss the High Renaissance period – *see first notes received on renaissance* 2. How did the work of Leonardo/ Michelangelo/ Raphael contribute to the High Renaissance? One of the greatest of Old Masters in the history of art, Leonardo da Vinci excelled as a painter, sculptor, engineer, architect and scientist. Along with Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Raphael (Raffaello Santi) (1483-1520), he is considered to be one of the three great creators of High Renaissance art in Italy (1490-1530). Renowned as a master of oil painting, including the painterly techniques of chiaroscuro (use of shadow to create a 3-D effect) and sfumato both techniques are visible in his masterpiece, Mona Lisa. Unfortunately, Leonardo's creative gifts were so diverse that he completed only a handful of artistic projects. Even so, he was responsible for several masterpieces of Renaissance art, including the Mona Lisa (1503-6, oil on panel, Louvre), one of the greatest portrait paintings; Vitruvian Man (1492), arguably the world's best known drawing; and The Last Supper (1495-8, oil and tempera fresco, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan), one of the best known Biblical paintings of all time. Sadly only a fraction of his art survives (about 15 pictures in all), not least because of his thirst for (often disastrous) experimentation with new paint techniques. Even so, these few paintings, together with a number of sketchbooks crammed with examples of figure drawing (including some of the best drawings of the Renaissance), plus anatomical studies, scientific diagrams, and his views on the techniques and aesthetics of painting, comprise a legacy rivalled only by Michelangelo.

A View of the Tiber Island and the Pons Cestius, with the Church Of
Nicolas DELOBEL (Paris 1693 - Paris 1763) A View of the Tiber Island and the Pons Cestius, with the Church of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, Rome Pen and brown ink and brown and grey wash, over an underdrawing in black chalk, extensively heightened with white, on blue paper. Inscribed, dated and signed faite le 30 Septembre1729(5or 7?) / vue de la pointe del[‘ile?]d’/ que[?] pont[?] delobel(?) at the lower left. 241 x 391 mm. (9 1/2 x 15v 3/8 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE FONDATION CUSTODIA, PARIS. Indistinctly signed by the artist and dated 1729 (although the date can also be read as 1725 or 1727), the present sheet is among the earliest views of Rome by a pensionnaireat the Académie de France. The drawing depicts the small boat-shaped island in middle of the Tiber river, dominated by the 17th century church of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, seen from downstream. In the centre is the 12th century bell tower of the church and, just to the right, the fortified Torre Caetani, dating from the 10th century. At the left of the composition is the Pons Cestius, the ancient stone bridge linking the Tiber Island to Trastevere in the western part of the city; the bridge was reconstructed and widened in the late 19th century. The large tower in the foreground at the upper right of the composition, which no longer exists today, sat above an old water mill on the right bank of the Tiber. Delobel also made a drawing of the opposite view, looking downstream from the southern end of the Tiber Island towards the Temple of Hercules Victor and the campanile of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
