  • 039-San Pancrazio.Pages
    (39/20) San Pancrazio San Pancrazio is a 7th century minor basilica and parish and titular church, just west of Trastevere. This is in the suburb of Monteverde Vecchio, part of the Gianicolense quarter. The church is up a driveway from the road, and is surrounded by the park of the Villa Doria Pamphilj. The dedication is to St Pancras. History The basilica is on the site of the tomb of St Pancras, an early 4th century martyr. Unfortunately his legend is unreliable, but his veneration is in evidence from early times. The revised Roman martyrology carefully states in its entry for 12 May: "St Pancras, martyr and young man who by tradition died at the second milestone on the Via Aurelia". The actual location is on the present Via Vitellia, which is possibly an ancient road in its own right. The legend alleges that the body of the martyr was interred by a pious woman called Octavilla. This detail is thought to preserve the name of the proprietor of the cemetery in which the martyr was buried, which as a result is also called the Catacombe di Ottavilla. The re-laying of the church's floor in 1934 revealed some of the original surface cemetery (cimitero all'aperto), which began as a pagan burial ground in the 1st century. Three columbaria or "gardens of remembrance" for funerary ashes were found. This cemetery around the saint's tomb was extended as a Christian catacomb beginning at the start of the 4th century, with four separate identifiable foci. The earliest area seems to be contemporary with his martyrdom.

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.

  • 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.

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.
