  • Waste: Rome's Economy of Reuse
    CHAPTER 5. WASTE: ROME’S ECONOMY OF REUSE I am inside a cylindrical structure, about two meters deep and a bit less in diameter. Squatting at the bottom to examine the lower surface I glance up to see the towering structures of the imper- ial palaces on the Palatine Hill, framed in the circular opening above. My assignment is to make a drawing of the surfaces of the walls, rough bricks partially coated with what appears to be vitrified stone. The non-profit institute I helped launch — and headed for several years — has partnered with Stanford and Oxford univer- sities to carry out field research at the base of the Palatine Hill, behind the Temple of Castor and Pollux and along the Vicus Tuscus, an ancient road of Etruscan origins connecting the Tiber river to the Roman Forum. As architect for the project I move 86 ROME WORKS from trench to trench, drawing plans and sections while young archaeologists work in the dust with trowels and brushes, col- lecting their finds in ziplock bags. My training has prepared me to represent on paper my proposals for the future, and to document existing conditions in prepara- tion for renovations, but documenting the past as it is revealed is a new experience. Instead of a single phase there are many, and the lines between them are hard to discern. It is challenging to “reconstruct” the building sequence while deconstructing the stratigraphy, and to do so without destroying the very object of study. The students from California, in particular, work slowly, in awe of the age of the fragments they uncover, and fearful of making irreversible mistakes on a site which has seen two mil- lennia of human occupation.

  • Rome Tourist Information
    Rome As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal States and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City". One of the world's most elegant capitals the layers of history and the city's sheer excess of beauty can prove overwhelming to the unsuspecting visitor. This is a city best explored on foot, with every corner offering an overlooked treasure or unforgettable panorama. Roman columns soar up aimlessly next to medieval basilicas, the sound of water splashing in fountains fills the air in front of Renaissance palaces and exuberant Romans jostle through multi-coloured markets and winding cobbled streets. Breathe the air of the Caesars in the Roman forum, stroll through the menacing Colosseum, marvel at the splendours of the Vatican Palace - and you will wonder if this can be the capital of a modern industrial nation or whether you have stepped back into the pages of history. But around these relics of history Rome is still evolving. It's at the cutting edge of fashion and cuisine and is one of the most popular shopping destinations on Earth. So prepare to soak up history and modernity in equal measure in one of Europe's most fascinating cities. Sightseeing Rome is a work of art in itself and you'll never tire of wandering its streets and plazas, discovering new and ever greater architectural gems with every turn. Seeing the many treasures the city contains would take a lifetime, but there are several highlights that remain essential on a trip to the Eternal City. The Roma Archeologia Card costs EUR20 and is valid for 7-days.

  • Rome Hotel Eden
    ROME HOTEL EDEN Two day itinerary: Teenagers With strong historical and cultural appeal, it isn’t difficult to find activities to entertain and educate the whole family in Rome. While travelling with teenagers can have its challenges, the key to a fantastic trip lies in a little imagination and a lot of creative planning. Visit these popular places for teenagers with this two-day travel guide to Rome. Day One Start the day with a 15-minute drive to Castel Sant’Angelo, crossing over the River Tiber. CASTEL SANT’ANGELO T: 006 32810 | Lungotevere Castello 50, 00193 Rome An unmissable attraction for history buffs, Castel Sant’Angelo is more than just a castle. The ancient Roman fortress is home to Hadrian’s tomb, built by the 2nd century emperor himself. Starting at the tomb, young adventurers can explore the castle and discover the National Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo with its collections of antique weapons, pottery and art. Next, take a leisurely 10-minute walk to St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. ST PETER’S BASILICA T: 006 6988 3229 | Piazza San Pietro, Vatican City, 00120 Instantly recognisable by its enormous domed roof, St Peter’s Basilica is among the most famous sights in Rome. Treat teenagers to an alternative view by climbing to the top of the dome. From the roof level of the basilica, it’s over 500 steps to the top of the dome, but it’s worth the effort for incredible panoramic views of the Eternal City. To reach Pizzarium, take either a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute walk.

  • Rome Like a Local
    ROME LIKE A LOCAL ‖When in Rome, do as the Romans do.‖ Undoubtedly, the catch phrase may sound a bit cliché, but locals themselves will even suggest this advice is not to be taken lightly. Romans certainly know how to live life to the fullest, indulging in the simplest pleasures and doing so with style. So put yourself in their shoes (Fendi preferably); try being Roman for a day and you’ll learn how la vita è bella! Il Mercato There’s no other place to take in a slice of real Roman life than at your local mercatoall’aperto—or open-air market. Vendors take center stage turning the sale of some of the freshest fruits and vegetables (often at half-price), into a theatrical performance. The best mercato is the Campo de’ Fiori (Piazza Campo de’ Fiori), Rome’s oldest food market, situated just south of Rome’s Renaissance/Baroque quarter and the Piazza Farnese. Too wide to be called picturesque, the market is nevertheless a favorite photo-op, due to the ombrelloni (canvas umbrella) food stands. You have to look hard to find the interesting regional foodstuffs, such as Colle Romani strawberries or chestnuts. Other top food markets are the recently renovated Mercato Trionfale (on Via Tunisi in Prati, north of the Vatican) and Nuovo Mercato Esquilino (on Via Filippo Turati), which is strongly influenced by the multi-culti makeup of the district. Open-air markets typically run Monday through Saturday from 7 AM until 2 PM, with Saturday being the busiest shopping day. For nonfoodies, there are plenty of other street markets scattered about Rome that specialize in clothing, fashion accessories, and every imaginable kind and variety of knickknack.

  • A Loyola Rome Student's Guide to World War Ii in Rome
    A LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY By Philip R. O’Connor, Ph.D. Loyola University Rome Center 1968-69 DOWNLOADABLE VERSION AVAILABLE PLEASE DIRECT COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO [email protected] Tenth Edition – September 2015 LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Guide to World War II in Italy and Rome is dedicated to those who served the Allied cause in the Italian War of Liberation 1943-45. Of special remembrance are the five Loyolans who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” on Italian soil: John J. Burke, John L. Carmody, Kenneth E. Krucks, Thomas A. McKitrick and Dean P. Reinert. John Felice, founder and guiding light of the Loyola Rome Center for thirty years and whose name was given to the Campus in 2004, was an intelligence officer in the British Eighth Army seconded to the American 12 th Air Force, 47 th Bombardment Group (Light) in preparation for the invasions of Sicily and the Italian mainland. John, who first inspired this Guide, passed away in January 2008, having lived the life of a great man. Another who served was the author’s uncle, Edward O’Connor. He followed his older brother, the author’s father, Philip J., into the U.S. Navy. Philip served in the South Pacific while Ed crewed in a 5-inch gun aboard the light cruiser USS Philadelphia . Before his nineteenth birthday, Eddie O’Connor participated in the invasion of Sicily, the landing at Salerno, the sbarco at Anzio-Nettuno followed by four months of daily missions from Naples to shell German forces besieging the beachhead, and the invasion of Southern France.
