  • 2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo Dell'istruzione
    2 FEBBRAIO 2015 Palazzo dell’istruzione The building which hosts the head offices of the Italian Ministry of Education was designed by the architect Cesare Bazzani, well known in those days for having built also Palazzo delle Belle Arti (Palace of Fine Arts), which now hosts the National Gallery of Modern Art. The construction of the Palace, started in 1912, was completed only in 1928. The building recalls the style and the eclectic taste of the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Its monumental architectural forms, inspired by Classicism, are softened by the baroque lines which liven up the facade, enriched in the front as well as in the internal spaces by an important series of ornaments and symbolic decorations with book-shaped capitals, grotesque caryatids, battering- ram heads, flower garlands. From the monumental Hall which introduces to the Palace, you can access the Courtyard of Honour, currently used for commemorative and prize-giving ceremonies at the end of the school year. On the sides of the Hall, two Honour Staircases, made of white marble, lead to the Minister’s Offices and to the Ministry representative rooms (Ministers’ Hall, Minister’s and Head of Cabinet’s Offices) decorated by Antonino Calcagnadoro, Paolo Paschetto and Rodolfo Villani in the year 1928. The paintings, made with the cold encaustic and the casein glue poster paint, two of the oldest and most traditional techniques of Italian Art, depict some allegorical figures: Literature, Science, Wisdom, History, Genius and Art. The series, painted by Calcagnodoro for the decoration of the Ministers’ Hall, is particularly valuable. It is a sequence which illustrates Education and 1 Knowledge in the various stages of Italian history with the depiction of some of its most important representatives: Dante Alighieri, San Francesco and Santa Chiara, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello Sanzio, Benvenuto Cellini, Michelangelo Merisi.

  • Trevi Fountain Rome, Italy Trevi Fountain: Rome, Italy the Architects
    Trevi Fountain Rome, Italy Trevi Fountain: Rome, Italy The Architects The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is the most famous and arguably Little of Nicola Salvi’s (1697–1751) work beyond the Trevi Fountain remains the most beautiful fountain in Rome. This impressive Baroque-styled today and relatively little is known of the architect himself. He was monument was completed in 1762 and still dominates the small Trevi admitted to the Roman Academy of Arcadia in 1717 and only became square located in the city’s Quirinale district. an architect after studying mathematics and philosophy. His friend and colleague, the sculptor Pietro Bracci (1700–1773), would eventually go on to complete the fountain. Bracci’s most famous piece of work, the statue of Oceanus, forms the centerpiece of the fountain. 2 History The imposing fountain sits at the junction of three roads, or tre vie, which many believe gave the fountain its name, and marks the terminal point of one of the original aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. Built by Marcu Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC, the Aqua Virgo aqueduct was over 13 miles (21 km) long and even then had a fountain at its terminus. The aqueduct and fountain served Rome for over 400 years, but after the invasion of the Goths in AD 537, the aqueduct was cut off and the final portion abandoned, forcing the medieval Romans to draw water from wells and the River Tiber. It would be over 1,000 years, and the advent of the Early Renaissance period, before a fountain would again stand in the location we know today.
