  • Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale D’Arte Antica
    Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica El Palazzo Barberini, situado en la confluencia de una de las vías más importantes de la ciudad de Roma, la Via del Tritone, es uno de los lugares de Roma que merece la pena visitar. Antigua residencia de la familia Barberini, depositaria de uno de los linejes papales más afamados, el Palazzo Barberini, una vez musealizado, se ha convertido en Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, uno de los museos más prestigiosos y con mayor número de obras de arte de la Ciudad Eterna. El palacio, obra del arquitecto barroco Carlo Maderno y con intervención de Gian Lorenzo Bernini y Francesco Borromini, se convirtió en un referente a la hora de la construcción de palacios urbanos, ya que unía entre sus características las propias del palacio urbano y la villa campestre adornada con grandes jardines. Así pues, la propiedad de la familia Barberini y los bienes que poseía, fueron comprados por el recién creado estado italiano y, gracias al incremento de la colección Corsini, la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica se trasladó desde su antigua ubicación hasta el presente palacio. Paseando por sus dos niveles repletos de obras maravillosas, recreándote en cada una de ellas, porque cada una de ellas es especial, admirando los Tiziano, los Greco, los Bernini, los Caravaggio, los Guido Reni, acostarte para dejarte deslumbrar por el gigantesco techo con el “Triunfo de la Divina Providencia” de Pietro da Cortona... Un sinfín de objetos para alimentar el disfrute tanto del alma como del espíritu. O simplemente pasear por los jardines de la villa, un oasis de tranquilidad en medio de una ciudad populosa.

  • The Aqua Traiana / Aqua Paola and Their Effects on The
    THE AQUA TRAIANA / AQUA PAOLA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE URBAN FABRIC OF ROME Carolyn A. Mess A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Architectural History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural History May 2014 Cammy Brothers __________________ Sheila Crane __________________ John Dobbins __________________ ii ABSTRACT Infrastructure has always played an important role in urban planning, though the focus of urban form is often the road system and the water system is only secondary. This is a misconception as often times the hydraulic infrastructure determined where roads were placed. Architectural structures were built where easily accessible potable water was found. People established towns and cities around water, like coasts, riverbanks, and natural springs. This study isolates two aqueducts, the Aqua Traiana and its Renaissance counterpart, the Aqua Paola. Both of these aqueducts were exceptional feats of engineering in their planning, building techniques, and functionality; however, by the end of their construction, they symbolized more than their outward utilitarian architecture. Within their given time periods, these aqueducts impacted an entire region of Rome that had twice been cut off from the rest of the city because of its lack of a water supply and its remote location across the Tiber. The Aqua Traiana and Aqua Paola completely transformed this area by improving residents’ hygiene, building up an industrial district, and beautifying the area of Trastevere. This study

  • History in French Liberal Thought, 1814-1834: the Contribution of Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer
    CLASS, SLAVERY AND THE INDUSTRIALIST THEORY OF HISTORY IN FRENCH LIBERAL THOUGHT, 1814-1834: THE CONTRIBUTION OF CHARLES COMTE AND CHARLES DUNOYER DAVID MERCER HART KING'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE MAY 1990 DECLARATION OF LENGTH OF THE DISSERTATION I declare that the length of the dissertation "Class, Slavery and the Industrialist Theory of History in French Liberal Thought, 1814-1834: The Contribution of Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer" does not exceed eighty thousand words, excluding footnotes and bibliography. David Mercer Hart Faculty of History King's College, Cambridge Signed: Date: DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. Signed: Date: ii ABSTRACT The work of Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer spanning the years from 1814 to 1834 demonstrates that a reassessment of the nature of nineteenth century liberalism in general, and early nineteenth century French liberalism in particular, is required. The picture of nineteenth century liberalism which emerges from traditional accounts does not prepare one for the kind of liberalism advocated by Comte and Dunoyer, with their ideas of class analysis, exploitation, the relationship between the mode of production and political culture, and the historical evolution from one mode of production to another through definite stages of economic development. We have been told that liberals restricted themselves to purely political concerns, such as freedom of speech and constitutional government, or economic concerns, such as free trade and deregulation, and eschewed the so-called "social" issues of class and exploitation. I will argue in this thesis that there was a group of liberals in Restoration France which does not fit this traditional view.

  • STEM Leads to Rome
    All STEM Leads to Rome: Teaching Roman Technology to Middle School Students of Color STEM is all the rage now in pre-collegiate education - STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) has become a buzzword for innovation and career preparation. Schools have added STEM coordinator positions to their faculty, robotics programs to their curricula, and makerspaces to their libraries. Grant money from major industries has poured into schools for classes and after-school programs that teach kids about STEM. Most elementary schools in the US have STEM or STEAM programs built into their curricula or offer after-school programs. Classics can benefit in many ways from a closer alliance with STEM education. Lucky for the field of classics, the Romans (and Greeks) were STEM geniuses. In this paper, I’ll present two full-year, elective curricula of my creation in which middle school students explore the ancient classical world through the lens of STEM. The aim of these curricula is to broaden the scope of classics instruction and draw in students who learn more deeply by doing and making. Without the constructs, and constraints, of language instruction, students learn about the classical world in physical ways. In one course, called Roman Technology, students read ancient Roman texts (in translation) for STEM inspiration and then use experimental archaeology to reproduce the products and processes of the ancient Romans. Each class is a hands-on workshop using real tools, bringing ancient Roman technology to life. Topics covered include common Roman engineering marvels such as concrete, arches, hydraulics, and road construction, but also those which have less obvious STEM connections such as hair styling, writing, and mosaic design.

I). The monumental palace stretches for eighty ,five metres along the Western flank of the piazza from the Southern corner coward the Northern end. The exceptionally long fapde is organised into a symmetrical sequence of bays with a projecting central section and is buttressed, at the North end, by a distinct fapde with a large serliana win, dow (an arch with crabeaced sides). The exterior boasts a profusion of ornament that enlivens the surface and punctuates the horizontality of the building. Through sheer scale and abundance of form, the Palazzo Pamphilj bespeaks grandeur and authority. Architecture serves the rhetorical functions of communication and persuasion. In the early modem period (ca. 1500-1800), palaces in particular became synonymous with the statm of their owners. Today, the Palazzo Pamphilj houses the Embassy of Brazil in Rome, but until the government ofBrazil purchased the palace in 1960, it had belonged to the Pamphilj family.
