    !21 CHAPTER I The Formation of the Missionary Gaspar’s Youth The Servant of God was born on January 6, 1786 and was baptized in the parochial church of San Martino ai Monti on the following day. On that occasion, he was given the names of the Holy Magi since the solemnity of the Epiphany was being celebrated. I received this information from the Servant of God himself during our familiar conversations. The Servant of God’s parents were Antonio Del Bufalo and Annunziata Quartieroni. I likewise learned from conversation with the father of the Servant of God as well as from him that at first Antonio was engaged in work in the fields but later, when his income was running short, he applied as a cook in service to the most excellent Altieri house. The Del Bufalos were upright people and were endowed sufficiently for their own maintenance as well as that of the family. They had two sons: one was named Luigi who married the upright young lady Paolina Castellini and were the parents of a daughter whose name was Luigia. The other son, our Servant of God. Luigi and Gaspar’s sister-in-law, as well as his father and mother, are now deceased. As far as I know, the aforementioned parents were full of faith, piety and other virtues made know to me not only by the Servant of God, honoring his father and mother, but also by Monsignor [Antonio] Santelli who was the confessor of his mother and a close friend of the Del Bufalo family.

    ARCH5111E The Great Beauty: The design of an aesthetic clinic and a fashion house HQ in the former slaughterhouse complex in Rome (Design Studio in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology) 2016‐17 Term I Instructor: STEFANO MILANI contact info: [email protected] Student Assistant: Still image from the movie The Great Beauty (2013) DESCRIPTION This studio will be executed in parallel with the Chair of Public Building/Architectural Composition of Delft University of Technology (TUD) led by Michiel Riedijk. There will be the opportunity for students from the different universities to exchange, collaborate and share their insights on the project through workshop and review. The project is part of the activities activated by the Bilateral Teaching Exchange 2016‐2017 between CUHK and TUD aiming to develop a cultural bridge between East and West where students exchange information and ideas and during a series of shared workshop‐meetings. Students will experience the impact of working in a different physical and cultural context and learn from each other’s methodologies. Students signed up for the studio must travel to Rome for the workshop/ review. School of architecture will provide minimal subsidies for this travel at approximately 3,000 HKD per student. Students will be responsible for the remaining costs. Introduction Despite the stereotypical definition of the ‘Eternal City’ ‐ conventionally attributed to Emperor Adrian and traced back to his Memories ‐ Rome has undergone many radical transformations throughout the centuries that left numerous evidences of unresolved conflicts in the resulting urban form which became one of the most peculiar characters of the city.

    A Felice, Ho visto il monumento a Porta Pia, quel grande bersagliere col pennacchio. Dissi a Rutelli di buttarlo via e metterci Felice con l ‘abbacchio. Felice non è un uomo è una poesia di tutti i grandi cuochi lo spauracchio. Perché sto a Roma? Dico a chi mi dice: “perché c’è il Papa, il Colosseo e Felice! ” Felice è un uomo onesto, bravo e giusto e quando morirà (a tutti tocca) ci sarà in Paradiso un gran trambusto. Pure gli angeli perderan la brocca. Cristo lo accoglierà con grande gusto. Lo abbraccerà con l ‘acquolina in bocca e gli dirà, in mezzo a quel presepe “E vai Felì, facce ‘na cacio e pepe! ” Roberto Benigni Omaggio a Felice, che all’età di 15 anni insieme al papà Guido ha dato vita a questo locale che nel 2016 ha compiuto 80 anni di attività. An homage to Felice, who, eighty years ago, at the age of 15, gave birth to this restaurant together with his father Guido. FELICEATESTACCIO.COM Tutti i giorni prepariamo le nostre specialità.

  • CLAS 3720: HISTORY and ART of ANCIENT ROME MAYMESTER 2018 Chiara Sulprizio (Classical and Mediterranean Studies)
    1 CLAS 3720: HISTORY AND ART OF ANCIENT ROME MAYMESTER 2018 Chiara Sulprizio (Classical and Mediterranean Studies) DATES: MAY 13-JUNE 1, 2018 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course, which is taught on site in Rome and its environs, examines the history, architecture, art and features of daily life as it was lived by the ancient Romans through a sustained engagement with the topography of the city. While our focus will be on the period between the 2nd century BCE and the 4th century CE, we will also consider some of the long- term developments and influences of Roman culture as they manifest themselves in medieval, renaissance and modern-day Rome. A few themes and topics that we will explore throughout the course include: the material and cultural transformation of Rome’s public spaces and civic image over time; the influence of urban life and customs on the production of Latin literature and Roman art; and especially, the monumental contexts of Roman religion and ritual practice, from the Late Republican period to the rise of Christianity. The course has no prerequisites, though some familiarity with the ancient world would be helpful. During the term, we will bring a variety of scholarly approaches to bear on our inquiry into the many spaces, objects and texts we will encounter, which will include wall paintings, sculptures, mosaics, coins, inscriptions, Latin poetry and prose, and examples of both public and domestic architecture. We will spend a majority of our time visiting archaeological sites, monuments and museums, and assessing their material remains through observation, discussion and written analyses.
