  • The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period
    Anne Kleineberg The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period Abstract: The Capitolium at Brescia is one of the rare well-preserved examples of this temple type in Roman Italy. Large parts of its architecture, interior design and the forum area to which it was con- nected, can be reconstructed. This case study will provide a systematic analysis of the Capitolium, focusing on the aesthetic and semantic effects of its decorative elements, as well as their correla- tion and interaction in the creation of specific spatial qualities. Consequently, various aspects – such as the urban setting, architecture and layout, different features of the interior design and the framework of action, i. e., that of ritual performances – will be taken into account. Temples located in the forum helped to define the political and religious centre of Roman cities. At Brescia (Roman Brixia), located between Milan and Verona1, the Capitolium was rebuilt during the reign of the emperor Vespasian, a process that was completed in A.D. 72/732 (Figs. 1–3). Dis- tinctive features of the temple were its position on a high terrace on the southern slope of the Colle Cidneo and its transverse layout, which included three large cellae (dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva), two rooms of unknown function3 and lateral porticos. The elongated forum was situated directly to the south of the Capitolium area, enclosed by porticos at the sides and a basilica at the end of the square. The two areas were separated by a remarkable difference in height and by the elevated decumanus maximus, which crossed the city in an east-west direction.

    THE LEGENDARY LAKES OF ITALY 2020 LAKES GARDA, COMO & MAGGIORE SELF-GUIDED CYCLE TOUR 280 kms: 8 DAYS / 7 NIGHTS One of Italy’s largest regions, Lombardy lies in the north of the country sharing a border with Switzerland. Stretching from the Alps to the lowlands of the Po Valley, it is home to a wide variety of stunning landscapes, including the breathtaking mountain chain that boasts the Valchiavenna, Valtellina and Camonica Valleys. The legendary beauty of these great lakes draws visitors to Sirmione and other well -known destinations dotted along the west side of Lake Garda, while Lake Como and Lake Maggiore are surrounded by stately homes, wild woodlands, picturesque park, chic towns and sleepy villages. The region is also characterised by the great flat tracts of the Po Valley lowlands with its shimmering mirrors of water. This is a destination that is varied, challenging and beautiful - perfect for a cycling tour. ITINERARY Day1: Arrival into Peschiera del Garda Peschiera del Garda is located at the southern end of Lake Garda, in Italy's Veneto region. The town's sixteenth-century island fortress and walls are visible today, a reminder of a time when Austria controlled the region.

  • Il Benaco: Una “Spina” Nel Cuore Di D'annunzio
    IL BENACO: UNA “SPINA” NEL CUORE DI D'ANNUNZIO Elaborato a cura della classe V classico del Liceo “Fermi” di Salò (A.S. 2015/16) Nell'ultima, lunga fase della sua vita, Gabriele d'Annunzio decise di porre la sua residenza a Cargnacco, sul lago di Garda. Gran parte dei libri di letteratura si limita a dire che qui egli si costruì un buen retiro lontano dalla scena politica ormai dominata da un solo uomo e dal chiacchiericcio della vita mondana, tra i lussi, la compagnia di donne belle e raffinate, la splendida natura gardesana, un numero spropositato di libri e il silenzio necessario per portare a termine le sue opere. Ben pochi si soffermano però ad analizzare perché, tra tutte le magnifiche zone che l'Italia gli poteva offrire, il poeta abruzzese, amante delle raffinatezze e della classicità, abbia deciso di chiudere la sua vita proprio in questa zona ancora così rurale e poco centrale nella vita della nazione. Ciò è proprio quel che questo elaborato si propone di fare, oltre a cercare di dare, con un buon numero di sintetici esempi, un quadro sufficientemente chiaro di come un poeta e un territorio apparentemente così diversi interagirono effettivamente fra di loro. Perché, come vedremo, durante la sua permanenza, il Poeta non mancò di lasciare sul nostro territorio, e nell'immaginario della gente che ci viveva, una significativa impronta. La scelta di Cargnacco Dopo la fine dell'esperienza fiumana nel dicembre 1920 con il cosiddetto “Natale di sangue”, nel gennaio 1921 d'Annunzio aveva lasciato la città di Fiume, trasferendosi in un appartamento di palazzo Barbarigo a Venezia, con l'espressa intenzione di rimanervi solo in via provvisoria, in attesa di trovare una sistemazione che si confacesse maggiormente alle sue esigenze di esteta (e di autore che necessitava di tranquillità e silenzio) rispetto a quell'accampamento veneziano, come il Poeta stesso ebbe a definirlo (esso era infatti adibito, fin da anni prima del suo arrivo, a deposito dei suoi oggetti e mobili, e quindi l'atmosfera che vi regnava era scarsamente accogliente e di disordine).
