Planning Versus Fortification: Sangallo's Project for the Defence of Rome Simon Pepper
Fort Vol. 2 1976 Planning versus fortification: Sangallo's project for the defence of Rome Simon Pepper Since 1527, when Rome had been captured and sacked by the mutinous soldiers of Charles V, it had been clear that the defences of the Papal capital were hopelessly outdated. The walls of the Borgo (the Vatican precinct) were constructed during the pontificate of Leo IV (847-855): those of Trastevere and the left bank, enclosing by far the largest part of the city, dated from the reign of the Emperor Aurelian (AD270-75) [1]. Impressive both for their length and antiquity, these walls were poorly maintained and fundamentally unsuitable for defence against gunpowder artillery. In 1534 the Romans were once again forcefully reminded of their vulnerability when a large Turkish fleet moored off the Tiber estuary. Fortunately the hostile intentions of the Turks were directed elsewhere: after taking on fresh water they sailed north to raid the Tuscan coastline. But in the immediate aftermath of the Turkish scare the newly elected Paul III committed himself to an ambitious scheme of re-fortification. Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, advised by many of the leading architects and soldiers employed by the Pope, was commissioned to submit design proposals [2]. Father Alberto Guglielmotti, the nineteenth-century historian of the Papal armed forces, tells us that Sangallo and his consultants decided to replace the Aurelian wall with a new line of works defending the developed areas on both banks of the river. The 18000 metre Aurelian circumfer- ence was to be reduced by half, a decision which is not difficult to understand when one glances at a contemporary map of the city.

Two Weeks Before Arriving in Rome, Please Call Carlo Bertoni, Our Rome
STOLL ROME APARTMENT - IMPORTANT NOTES Via Del Governo Vecchio, 73; 00186 Roma, Italia (39)(06) 687 4824 Updated June 19, 2011 We are delighted to have friends stay in our home in Rome, which we love very much. There are a few things we think it is important for anyone to know: • Two weeks before arriving in Rome, please call Carlo Bertoni, our Rome representative [(39) 333 923 1029 or 06 689 6273; [email protected]] to schedule arrangements to receive keys for the apartment. * We have prepared a memo regarding our apartments, and some other items one might find useful. It tells how appliances work in each apartment, important phone numbers, etc. as well as other useful information as to restaurants, stores, and living in Rome. * ALARM CODE: There is an alarm keypad located next to the door in the study area with the green chairs. On entering the apartment you will hear a "Mission Impossible" tune which will end the moment you de-activate the alarm. To de-activate the alarm, please immediately press 2000 on the touch pad. Upon leaving the apartment, please activate the alarm. With all doors closed, press 2000 on the touch pad and immediately exit the apartment. * Virtually all of the buildings in the historic center of Rome, including ours, are hundreds of years old. Over the years there have obviously been many additions, some obvious, and others not so visible. The plumbing, electrical and heating systems, while of relative recent vintage and normally trouble-free, may not always work as efficiently or perfectly as we would like: in the event of any difficulty, please call and/or consult the list of "Telephone Numbers for Assistance," below.

Dr. David H. Sick Project Sponsor Dr. James M. Vest Second Reader Dr. Michelle M. Mattson Extra-Departmental Reader Dr. Kenneth S. Morrell Department Chair Acknowledgments In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of classical studies as the traditional hallmark of a liberal arts education, I have relied upon sources as vast and varied as the monuments of Rome in writing this thesis. I first wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to the faculty and staff of the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome during the spring session of 2008, without whose instruction and inspiration the idea for this study never would have germinated. Among the many scholars who have indelibly influenced my own study, I am particularly indebted to the writings of Catherine Edwards and Mary Jaeger, whose groundbreaking work on Roman topography and monuments in Writing Rome: Textual approaches to the city and Livy’s Written Rome motivated me to apply their theories to a modern context. In order to establish the feasibility and pertinence of comparing Rome’s antiquity to its modernity by examining their prolific juxtapositions in cinema as a case study, I have also relied a great deal upon the works of renowned Italian film scholar, Peter Bondanella, in bridging the ages.
