Italian language Paper 1 (5-6 pages – 1500-1800 words) 13 hrs. Lecture Paper 2 (7-9 pages – 2000-2500 words) 56 hrs. Site Visits This course mixes class time studying the history of Rome and Florence with the experience of seeing the sites where the history played out. The readings will permit you to appreciate what you see much more than if you visited the places on your own or even with a professional guide. You’ll see that some of the site visits have readings attached to them. You should treat the excursions as a new kind of class experience. The excursions are our labs; they far outweigh the lecture- discussions we’ll hold in the classroom. Meetings: Italian language class meets 5 times for 1 hr. during first 2 weeks. We meet 1 hr, 3 times per week (except week 1). Attendance is required. Be prepared to discuss readings in class for day assigned. Assignments: Two papers on a particular artistic or architectural project related to urban history and politics in Florence 1400-1600 (paper 1) and in Rome 1400- 1650 (paper 2). Paper 1 should be 5-6 pages in length (double-spaced; one-inch margins = 1500-1800 words). Paper 2 should be 7-9 pages in length. There will be a 3-hour final exam on the last day of the session, August 1. Office Hours: By email or in person during our excursions Grading 10% Class Participation (at least 2 hrs. prep per 1 hr. class = 12 hrs./wk) 25 % Paper 1 on Florentine project 35% Paper 2 on Roman project 30% Final Exam Note: In this course, I will be grading the papers and final exam. I expect that you will be able to get the second paper and final exam back only when we return to La Jolla.

  • Chigi Palace
    - Chigi Palace - English Version Traduzione di Giovanna Gallo Ancient palace of the Sixteenth century located in the heart of Rome, it was conceived by Pietro Aldobrandini, Pope Clement VII’s brother and an important representative of the Roman aristocracy. The idea of the original plan, entrusted to the Umbrian architect Bartolini from Città di Castello, was to enlarge a pre-existent block of buildings, to incorporate some more houses and to construct a single building made of three floors with the main entrance on Via del Corso. The ownership of the palace was rather unstable because it was handed several times to other Families, such as the Detis, for almost a whole century, until 1659 when it was purchased by the Chigi family, among whose members there were also some cardinals and one Pope, Alexander VII. The Chigis were rich bankers with Sienese origins and backers of the Vatican and they changed the frame of the building, that was thus named after them. At least for two centuries the palace has been the residence of some aristocratic families and, later on, it became the seat at first of the Spanish Embassy (around the second half of the XVIIIth century ), then of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, being sold at last by the Chigis themselves to the Kingdom of Italy ( Regno d’Italia ) in 1916, when it was assigned to become the seat of the Ministero delle Colonie ( Ministry of Colonial Affairs). In 1922 Benito Mussolini, both as Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, ordered to transfer there the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

  • The Shops and Shopkeepers of Ancient Rome
    CHARM 2015 Proceedings Marketing an Urban Identity: The Shops and Shopkeepers of Ancient Rome 135 Rhodora G. Vennarucci Lecturer of Classics, Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, University of Arkansas, U.S.A. Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of fixed-point retailing in the city of ancient Rome between the 2nd c BCE and the 2nd/3rd c CE. Changes in the socio-economic environment during the 2nd c BCE caused the structure of Rome’s urban retail system to shift from one chiefly reliant on temporary markets and fairs to one typified by permanent shops. As shops came to dominate the architectural experience of Rome’s streetscapes, shopkeepers took advantage of the increased visibility by focusing their marketing strategies on their shop designs. Through this process, the shopkeeper and his shop actively contributed to urban placemaking and the distribution of an urban identity at Rome. Design/methodology/approach – This paper employs an interdisciplinary approach in its analysis, combining textual, archaeological, and art historical materials with comparative history and modern marketing theory. Research limitation/implications – Retailing in ancient Rome remains a neglected area of study on account of the traditional view among economic historians that the retail trades of pre-industrial societies were primitive and unsophisticated. This paper challenges traditional models of marketing history by establishing the shop as both the dominant method of urban distribution and the chief means for advertising at Rome. Keywords – Ancient Rome, Ostia, Shop Design, Advertising, Retail Change, Urban Identity Paper Type – Research Paper Introduction The permanent Roman shop was a locus for both commercial and social exchanges, and the shopkeeper acted as the mediator of these exchanges.

  • Trastevere (Map P. 702, A3–B4) Is the Area Across the Tiber
    400 TRASTEVERE 401 TRASTEVERE rastevere (map p. 702, A3–B4) is the area across the Tiber (trans Tiberim), lying below the Janiculum hill. Since ancient times there have been numerous artisans’ Thouses and workshops here and the inhabitants of this essentially popular district were known for their proud and independent character. It is still a distinctive district and remains in some ways a local neighbourhood, where the inhabitants greet each other in the streets, chat in the cafés or simply pass the time of day in the grocery shops. It has always been known for its restaurants but today the menus are often provided in English before Italian. Cars are banned from some of the streets by the simple (but unobtrusive) method of laying large travertine blocks at their entrances, so it is a pleasant place to stroll. Some highlights of Trastevere ª The beautiful and ancient basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere with a wonderful 12th-century interior and mosaics in the apse; ª Palazzo Corsini, part of the Gallerie Nazionali, with a collection of mainly 17th- and 18th-century paintings; ª The Orto Botanico (botanic gardens); ª The Renaissance Villa Farnesina, still surrounded by a garden on the Tiber, built in the early 16th century as the residence of Agostino Chigi, famous for its delightful frescoed decoration by Raphael and his school, and other works by Sienese artists, all commissioned by Chigi himself; HISTORY OF TRASTEVERE ª The peaceful church of San Crisogono, with a venerable interior and This was the ‘Etruscan side’ of the river, and only after the destruction of Veii by remains of the original early church beneath it; Rome in 396 bc (see p.

    UC Berkeley Room One Thousand Title Water's Pilgrimage in Rome Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7hq5t8mm Journal Room One Thousand, 3(3) ISSN 2328-4161 Author Rinne, Katherine Publication Date 2015 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Katherine Rinne Illustration by Rebecca Sunter Water’s Pilgrimage in Rome “If I were called in To construct a religion I should make use of water.” From Philip Larkin, “Water,” 1964 Rome is one of the world’s most hallowed pilgrimage destinations. Each year, the Eternal City’s numinous qualities draw millions of devout Christians to undertake a pilgrimage there just as they have for nearly two millennia. Visiting the most venerable sites, culminating with St. Peter’s, the Mother Church of Catholicism, the processional journey often reinvigorates faith among believers. It is a cleansing experience for them, a reflective pause in their daily lives and yearly routines. Millions more arrive in Rome with more secular agendas. With equal zeal they set out on touristic, educational, gastronomic, and retail pilgrimages. Indeed, when in Rome, I dedicate at least a full and fervent day to “La Sacra Giornata di Acquistare le Scarpe,” the holy day of shoe shopping, when I visit each of my favorite stores like so many shrines along a sacred way. Although shoes are crucial to our narrative and to the completion of any pilgrimage conducted on Opposite: The Trevi Fountain, 2007.

  • WALK ONE Campo Dei Fiori; Small Lanes; Chiesa Nuova; Piazza Navona
    WALK ONE Campo dei Fiori; small lanes; Chiesa Nuova; Piazza Navona. CAMPO DEI FIORI Begin your first morning in the center of Rome at Campo dei Fiori, the best outdoor fruit and vegetable market. Then spend the rest of the day on a walking tour through some of the most fascinating and historic neighborhoods within the curve of the Tiber River. Campo dei Fiori is teeming with friendly people, tasty fruits, vibrant colors, animated conversations, varieties of vegetables, sweet smells, energetic vendors, local shoppers, and atmo- sphere galore. This setting is perfect, surrounded by very old buildings with cobbled pedestrian lanes leading off in all direc- tions into a great neighborhood we shall explore next. This friendly and lively piazza is one of the major focal points of the city, just three blocks south of Piazza Navona (coming up later in this walk) and an easy walk if your hotel is in the historic center. If you’re staying further away, take a taxi. Arriving any time in the morning is good, but earlier is better. Campo dei Fiori makes a great startfor our walk: it is the only main attraction opening by 6am and it is simply a wonderful morning scene. This magical Campo has multiple personali- ties, changing character throughout the day: Rome’s main veg- gie market in the morning, a ring of busy restaurants at lunch, peaceful in the afternoon, and a party scene at night. Campo dei Fiori’s produce stands are very popular with the nearby residents and chefs seeking fresh items on their daily shopping rounds.

    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.
