ROADS LEAD to ROME. You Are on One of Them © Moovellab ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME. You are on one of them. WELCOME to DIVORAROMA! “A Roma, non basta una vita.” Translation: A lifetime is not enough in Rome. Its true. Rome has millennia of history literally accumulated in layers, much of which is visible to the naked eye. Romans live inside of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combining the modern amenities with the historical traditions of centuries’ past. There is an incredible array of art and architecture and archaeology, as well as a very proud culture. To experience Rome as the locals do, take note of the following: Wake up, start the day with an caffe’ e cornetto (espresso and pastry), walk to the mercato (market) or a museum or a ruin, enjoy lunch on the go or in a casual trattoria in one of the breathtaking piazze, take a pisolino (a nap) in the afternoon, go on a typical passeggiata (afternoon walk) to a gelato parlor, see another historical attraction and then prepare for a delicious evening dinner at home or at a wonderful local restaurant… Are you ready to do this all week long? ;) There will be ample time for you to enjoy Rome on your own as well! For your convenience, here are a few of my favorite places not to be missed: • Piazza Venezia, Roman Forum, Colosseum and the Circus Maximus • The Borghese Gallery (museum) and the Borghese Gardens all around there • Vatican City, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel • Villa Giulia (the Etruscan museum) and Musei Capitolini • Giardino degli Aranci and Terme Di Caracalla (Caracalla’s baths on the hill) • Gianicolo (one of the hills of Rome) and Trastevere • Bocca Della Verita’ (the mouth of truth), Pantheon and Trevi Fountain • And so much more! These are simply the most prominent and popular sites. DIVORAROMA.COM | [email protected] | PORTLAND OREGON BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE CULINARY VOYAGE THOUGH ROME, ITALY “Mangiamo!” Let’s Eat! You are embarking on a culinary experience through Rome. It’s only logical that we devote most of our time eating our way through the city! Rome is a proud city, with plenty of simple dishes with stunningly complex flavors. We will explore what is in season in this time of year as we explore the markets and taste everything from traditional Roman restaurants to on-the- go Roman street food lunches. Here are some of my favorite eateries: • Pasticceria Di Zio, Testaccio neighborhood (typical Roman pastries) • Volpetti salumeria, Testaccio neighborhood (meats and cheeses sourced locally) • Nuovo Mercato Testaccio, Testaccio neighborhood (daily local food market with street food stands) • Flavio Veloavevodetto Osteria Romana, Testaccio neighborhood (typical Roman osteria) • Da Lucia, trattoria in Trastevere neighborhood (typical Roman trattoria) • Enoteca Palombi, Testaccio neighborhood (wine shop, wine tasting and small Roman bites) • Bernini, ristorante in Piazza Navona (restaurant and pizzeria in one of Rome’s beautiful piazze) • Da Felice, ristorante in Testaccio Neighborhood (famous people eat at this delicious typical Roman restaurant) • Nonna Betta, Campo De Fiori neighborhood (typical Roman Jewish - Kosher - cuisine) • Glass, Two Michelin Star restaurant, Trastevere neighborhood (Roman dishes, elevated to Michelin level) • Giolitti Gelateria, Testaccio neighborhood (delicious traditional gelato) • Enoteca Corsi, Pantheon neighborhood (wine tasting and small bites) • Antica Hostaria Romana, Campo De Fiori neighborhood (typical Roman osteria) • Romolo a Trastevere, Trastevere neighborhood (a more elegant version of typical Roman dishes) • Gelateria Don Nino, Piazza Di Spagna neighborhood (delicious gelato in our neighborhood) Thankfully May/June offer nice long days for plenty of time for fun! ~ Alice DIVORAROMA.COM | [email protected] | PORTLAND OREGON BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE CULINARY VOYAGE THOUGH ROME, ITALY “Mangiamo!” Let’s Eat! Basics of Roman cuisine: SUPPLI’ Bite-sized snack is filled with mozzarella cheese surrounded by a mixture of risotto, egg and tomato sauce, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. The soft mozzarella becomes stringy between each bite resembling telephone lines, hence the name Suppli al telefono! PIZZA BIANCA For those whose favorite part of the pizza is the crust, pizza bianca is a gift from heaven. Served al taglio (by the slice), it is topped with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Unlike the round thin-crust pizzas served at restaurants, pizza al taglio is thick and rectangular. Sometimes its even stuffed with prosciutto or mortadella for a delicious street food panino! CODA ALLA VACCINARA For meat lovers only, the oxtail in this traditional stew is cooked for hours until it becomes tender. Before World War II, slaughterhouses would pay their employees with unwanted scraps of the oxen. Families had to get creative with their cooking, which resulted in some of the most savory dishes in Rome. CACIO E PEPE A spaghetti dish, this time with olive oil, pecorino cheese and freshly ground black pepper. When cooking Cacio e Pepe, black pepper out of your normal shaker just won’t do. For the spicy, flavorful taste that the dish deserves, freshly ground peppercorns are a must! CARCIOFI Artichokes are so popular in Rome that there are not one, but two traditional methods of preparation. In the first, Carciofi alla Romana, the artichokes are slowly cooked in olive oil until they are soft (see them in the image on this page). In Carciofi alla Giudia, the Jewish method, they are deep fried twice until the leaves become brown and crispy. A side note: Italy is responsible for almost two-thirds of the world’s artichoke production! DIVORAROMA.COM | [email protected] | PORTLAND OREGON BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE CULINARY VOYAGE THOUGH ROME, ITALY Tips and notes about being in Rome: It may seem strange to mention the following, but believe me, you’ll need to know it ahead of visiting Rome… Crossing the road … Follow these simple rules so you can visit BOTH sides of any major street ;) 1. Stand on the curb, looking in the direction of oncoming traffic. When there is a decent break (i.e. enough for whoever’s coming to brake), 2. Make sure to notice that they have seen you (eye contact is great), 3. Step out decisively and, maintaining a constant and regular pace, walk across. As if by magic the cars and scooters will weave around you. DON’T stop midway, don’t go backwards and don’t run across screaming, that confuses everybody, and don’t wait in ever-growing frustration for everyone to stop, it’s never going to happen. Go with the flow, do as the Romans do! DIVORAROMA.COM | [email protected] | PORTLAND OREGON BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE CULINARY VOYAGE THOUGH ROME, ITALY Tips and notes about being in Rome: Some of you have not been to Rome in very many years, while others have not been at all. As it says below, Rome is a great big metropolis, and as with any other European city, there can be issues in localized safety. The trick is to be aware of your surroundings and careful when walking around. Other than that, there is plenty of police and military around to guard the center of Rome and to monitor activities. Rome is a world patrimony after all, and very much loved. See my friend Stephanie drinking delicious water from one of Rome’s fountains in this image? The military stands guard in the background. A classic example of a nighttime street scene. The next two pages are notes taken verbatim from various online resources I constantly monitor. Sources available upon request ;) “Don’t be paranoid, but do be careful. Despite the horror stories you might hear of “gypsies” throwing their babies at tourists before relieving them of their wallets, the pickpocket situation in Rome is much improved although unfortunately not eradicated. However it is not any worse than any other major city. Always make sure you know where your wallet/phone/camera is, and keep your bag in front of you in busy places and on crowded public transport. Rome is one of the world’s safest capital cities, and the city centre is a safe place. There are no real “no go” areas, although some areas around the station can be a little unpleasant at night. In the centro storico the police you see all over the place are guarding government buildings, embassies, and the Prime Minister’s house. They are more an exercise in over-kill, than indicative of an imminent uprising.” “You CAN drink the water (it is delicious!). Drinking fountains run constantly and abound throughout the city, which can save you a fair amount of cash, especially in the heat of summer. Romans tend to drink mineral water because it has digestive properties and they like the bubbles, and while restaurants don’t serve tap water, mineral water is usually cheap at about 2 per liter. However the tap water is good, cold, and FREE. Roman aqueducts have been bringing spring water from the hills around the city for over 2000 years, the city’s tap water mostly comes from the natural reservoirs of the Appenine mountain range and the nearby lakes.” DIVORAROMA.COM | [email protected] | PORTLAND OREGON BASED, ALL-INCLUSIVE CULINARY VOYAGE THOUGH ROME, ITALY Tips and notes about being in Rome: “Taxis are (by law at least) not allowed to pick you up by being hailed on the street. Instead there are taxi ranks dotted around town where they congregate. Most tassisti are agreeable, manage a bit of English, and are honest with the meter. However a proportion, and this rises in the drivers waiting at the airport, can be unpleasant and unscrupulous. Even if the meter is on, tricks include setting it to the after 10pm or “out of town” (extra-urbana) tariffs unjustifiably. Sadly there’s little you can do to tell if that’s the case.

  • Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)
    DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

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.

  • Ancient Cities: the Archaeology of Urban Life in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Second Edition
    ART 2311: Art and Architecture in Rome Fall 2016 A Days (Mondays and Wednesdays), 11:30am-1:00pm Aula Magna (plus site visits on some Wednesday afternoons) COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course gives students the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the development of the city of Rome through a study of its art, architecture and urban transformation. It focuses on the major artistic and architectural movements occurring primarily in Italy (as well as their Greek antecedents) from roughly the 8th century BCE to the 20th century CE. In the study of each period we will strive to understand Rome’s artistic and architectural works within the contexts in which they were created. Our study of art, architecture and urban planning will therefore take into account the historical, political, social, religious and cultural contexts of the patrons, artists and viewers. Particular emphasis will be placed on ancient Greece and Rome, early Christianity, the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. We will also explore the reuse, borrowing and revival of ancient artistic and architectural themes in later periods. Instructor: Office Hours: Dr. Elizabeth Robinson Monday 4:00-6:00pm, or by appointment.

Spolia from the Baths of Caracallain Sta. Maria in Trastevere Dale Kinney Eight third-century Ionic capitals with images of Isis, Serapis, and Harpocrates, now in the nave colonnades of Sta. Maria in Trastevere, were taken from one or both of the rooms currently identified as libraries in the Baths of Caracalla. The capitals were transferred around 1140, when the church was rebuilt by Pope In- nocent II. The capitals would have been acquired by confiscation, juridically the pope's prerogative as head of the papal state; the lavish display of all kinds of spolia in Sta. Maria in Trastevere is here interpreted as a self-conscious demon- stration of that prerogative. The identity of the capitals' pagan images would have been unknown to most twelfth-century observers, because the only accessible keys to the correct identifications were one sentence in Varro's De lingua latina and another in Saint Augustine's De civitate Dei.

  • Saggio Brothers
    Cammy Brothers Reconstruction as Design: Giuliano da Sangallo and the “palazo di mecenate” on the Quirinal Hill this paper I will survey information regarding both the condition and conception of the mon- ument in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. When Giuliano saw the temple, the only fragments left standing were a portion of the façade and parts of the massive stair structure. His seven drawings of the monument were the first attempts to reconstruct the entire building, as well as the most complex and large scale reconstructions that he ever executed. The sec- ond part of this essay will compare Giuliano’s drawings with those of Peruzzi and Palladio, with the aim of demonstrating, contrary to the theory that drawings after the antique became increasingly accurate over time, that Giuliano in fact took fewer liberties in his reconstruction than did Palladio. Aside from providing some insight into Giuliano’s working method, I hope through this comparison to suggest that fif- teenth- and sixteenth-century drawings of antiquities cannot appropriately be judged according to one standard, because each archi- 1.

Although his drawings struction not with the attitude we would expect are more beautiful, they are on the whole less of a present day archaeologist, but rather with accurate, or at least less consistent in their mode that of a designer, keen to understand the ruins of representation and their use of measure- in terms that were meaningful for his own work.

  • Architectural Spolia and Urban Transformation in Rome from the Fourth to the Thirteenth Century
    Patrizio Pensabene Architectural Spolia and Urban Transformation in Rome from the Fourth to the Thirteenth Century Summary This paper is a historical outline of the practice of reuse in Rome between the th and th century AD. It comments on the relevance of the Arch of Constantine and the Basil- ica Lateranensis in creating a tradition of meanings and ways of the reuse. Moreover, the paper focuses on the government’s attitude towards the preservation of ancient edifices in the monumental center of Rome in the first half of the th century AD, although it has been established that the reuse of public edifices only became a normal practice starting in th century Rome. Between the th and th century the city was transformed into set- tlements connected to the principal groups of ruins. Then, with the Carolingian Age, the city achieved a new unity and several new, large-scale churches were created. These con- struction projects required systematic spoliation of existing marble. The city enlarged even more rapidly in the Romanesque period with the construction of a large basilica for which marble had to be sought in the periphery of the ancient city. At that time there existed a highly developed organization for spoliating and reworking ancient marble: the Cos- matesque Workshop. Keywords: Re-use; Rome; Arch of Constantine; Basilica Lateranensis; urban transforma- tion. Dieser Artikel bietet eine Übersicht über den Einsatz von Spolien in Rom zwischen dem . und dem . Jahrhundert n. Chr. Er zeigt auf, wie mit dem Konstantinsbogen und der Ba- silica Lateranensis eine Tradition von Bedeutungsbezügen und Strategien der Spolienver- wendung begründet wurde.
