'I Fori Imperiali,'
P a g e | 1 Rome, the ‘I Fori Imperiali,’ the ‘Il Quartiere Alessandrina’, and the ‘Via dei Fori Imperiali’: The Documentation and Dissemination of the Scholarly Research and Related Studies (1993-2013). Martin. G. Conde, Washington DC, USA (June 2014). [email protected] Fig. 1 – Rome, the Imperial Fora & the Via dei Fori Imperiali in 2011-12: View of Trajan’s Column and Forum taken from the roof-top terrace of the Palazzo Valentini overlooking the recently excavated ruins within the Forum of Trajan and the surrounding surviving historic structures dating from antiquity onwards. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “…Nothing remains on the surface of the ground. But, I who was born amid these ruins and who have lived in them, I can testify that in all the cellars of all the houses of the region and in many of the walls, there is evidence to prove that if one where to excavate the ground and demolish the houses, one would find exceptional important information concerning the ancient topography of Rome and the history of the arts.” Prof. Antonio Nibby, ‘Roma nell` Anno 1838,’ Rome (1841). ‘…Before closing this brief preface, I must warn students against a tendency which is occasionally observable in books and papers on the topography of Rome, — that of upsetting and condemning all received notions on the subject, in order to substitute fanciful theories of a new type.” (…) “Yet there are people willing to try the experiment, only to waste their own time and make us lose ours in considering their attempts. Temples of the gods are cast away from their august seats, and relegated to places never heard of before; gates of the city are swept away in a whirlwind till they fly before our eyes like one of Dante’s visions; diminutive ruins are magnified into the remains of great historical buildings; designs are produced of monuments which have never existed.’ Prof. -

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. -

OUT of the BOX a Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to Its Roots in the Heart of Rome
136 VOYAGE From Rome, Italy 137 OUT OF THE BOX A Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to its Roots in the Heart of Rome In Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the new Condominio Monti is a new boutique hotel that preserves the convivial atmosphere of its historic neighborhood, famous for its picturesque alleys and which oozes life during the day through its tiny craft shops and galleries, and by night through its trendy wineries and bars. The brainchild of entrepreneurs Kaja Osinski and Filippo Ribacchi, who helm Living Roma, Condominio Monti occupies an area of 900 square meters and has been developed within two neighboring buildings: hence the name, highlighting the intimate collective project, where attention is paid to shared spaces. Far from the aseptic standards of many major hotel chains, the new structure rewrites the concept of hospitality through 33 rooms, designed for selective travelers and design lovers, and a reception with a tailored edge. A concierge service based on the guests’ needs, offers suggestions for experiencing the Eternal City in contemporary and unconventional ways, with ad hoc illustrated itineraries at guests’ disposal in every room. The architectural and interior design, which preserves the structure of a traditional Roman house, with its bijou, but functional rooms distributed along a corridor, bears the signature of designers STUDIOTAMAT and the shades, finishes, fabrics, patterns and objects have been selected by Sabina Guidotti, founder of Bludiprussia. Photos © Condominio Monti 138 VOYAGE 139 Balanced lighting and custom-designed furnishings – from bedside tables to headboards – blend with a palette of bold colors, sophisticated wallpapers and decorative patterns that allude to the concept of "exotic", and are intended as a journey to discover “otherness”. -
Mok Restaurants ULTIMO MARCO
Rome Suite Home restaurants Dear Guests, The following is a list of suggested restaurants that we have selected throughout the years (when we were slimmer… but we had to do big sacrifices and efforts to give you the best tips!). Because of the area in which they are located (downtown but authentic and not “tourist oriented”), the quality of the food (we have always had great meals there) and the reasonable price (15 to 30Euro each – depending on the wine you choose and how hungry you are), we feel like suggesting these places: these are not tourist traps but REAL ROMAN RESTAURANTS and PIZZERIAS where WE also go with our family and friends. S Vecchia Roma – Via Ferruccio, 12 (Esquilino, 3mins walking) The best AMATRICIANA ever! This is a typical restaurant where the house special is the Amatriciana (typical Roman pasta with tomato sauce, pork cheeks and pecorino cheese). Once ready, they throw the Amatriciana in the Pecorino cheese case where they add some pure alcohol and then they flame it up so that the cheese in the case melts in it making it soooo tasty! The pizza is very good as well and all the dishes from the Roman tradition (trippa, antipasti fritti, coda alla vaccinara, etc.) are made in the real traditional way. It is close to Santa Maria Maggiore, not far from Termini Station. Ph. +39 06 44 67 143 – www.trattoriavecchiaroma.it – Closed on Sundays and August S La Carbonara – Via Panisperna, 214 (Rione Monti, 5mins walking) There is one more famous in Campo de’ Fiori, but according to us that one is overpriced due to its “name”. -

Food Heritage and Nationalism in Europe
Chapter 4 Food and locality Heritagization and commercial use of the past Paolo Capuzzo Geographical roots of food? Identifying a food culture with a locality has always involved a trade-off between searching for roots and recognizing they are not planted in any one spot but entail exchanges and borrowings from remote origins. But even this tension between the local and the supralocal is a simplification: it rests on the assumption that food cultures can be identified by place alone. Actually, highly different food regimes may be at work in one and the same place, and have been so in the past. Class stratification may afford a first prism dividing up food culture domains, but it then interweaves with gender, religious observance, ethnic belonging and so on. Does this mean that any attempt to find a relationship between food and place is a waste of effort? No, indeed: such a relationship can definitely be established. But one does need a critical analysis of the various factors bearing on the link between food and place, since they are cultural and historical constructs rather than causal connections between milieus in nature/history and food cultures. A cuisine rich in victuals of different kinds, prepared from a wide range of ingredients at times exotic in provenance, was typical of the food culture found in the courts of Europe from the late Middle Ages to the early modern era; the diet of the people was more closely locally connected, perforce. For most of the population poverty dictated the choice of diet. A plentiful cosmopolitan cuisine reigned at court (Montanari 2014); it was garnished with rare and exotic ingredients indicating wealth, though also a background of culture deriving from greater familiarity with distant lands. -

The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies. -

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. -
The Journey to Rome
Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-67871-2 — The Hills of Rome Caroline Vout Excerpt More Information 1 Introduction: the journey to Rome There is a strong and pleasant memory for hills. Kevin Lynch (1961: 173) The map I was born in a ‘city of seven hills’. Durham is one of the hilliest cities in the north of England. Yet even now I am unsure which of its contours add up to seven. It is hard to imagine any of them competing with the dramatic Cathedral peninsula, which gives the city its name (Figure 1.1). In 995 CE, when the monks of Lindisfarne on the Northumbrian coast were looking for a permanent resting place for the body of their bishop, Saint Cuthbert, he appeared to them in a vision directing them towards ‘Dunholm’ or ‘hill island’. Despite the vividness of this name (‘dun’ means ‘hill’, and ‘holm’ means ‘island’, in Anglo-Saxon), it took a milkmaid and her ‘dun cow’ to help them find their destination. Archaeological evidence points to a history of settlement in the Durham area long before the monks’ arrival. But it is at this point that the set- tlement becomes a city. When Durham acquired its seven hills is less clear. Yet knowing that there are seven is, in a sense, sufficient – safe, solid and strangely familiar. The concept underwrites Durham’s urban cre- dentials, taking us back to cities as old as Babylon and Jerusalem. As old as Rome. Small wonder that when writer DBC Pierre was describing the faded glories of Durham’s Miners’ Gala, the best-known and largest meet- ing of the mining community in England, he found it an obvious way of invoking tradition and summoning regional pride.
