  • Best of Rome 2020 Preview
    Welcome to Rome An intoxicating cocktail of haunting ruins, iconic monuments, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy’s hot-blooded capital is one of the world’s most charis- matic cities. It’s la dolce vita (the sweet life) at its Italian best. Rome’s historic cityscape, the result of 3000 years of ad hoc urban development, is an exhilarating spectacle. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, ROME Roman Forum and Pantheon recall its golden age as TOP SIGHTS, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES caput mundi (capital of the world), while barn- storming basilicas testify to its historical role as seat of the Catholic Church. The city’s artistic heritage is also astonishing. Throughout history, Rome has starred in the great upheavals of Western art, drawing the top artists of the day and inspiring them to push the boundaries of creative achievement. The result is a city awash with priceless treasures. Ancient statues adorn world-class museums; Byzantine mosaics and Renaissance frescoes dazzle in art-rich churches; and baroque fountains embellish medieval piazzas. Walk around the centre and without even trying you’ll come across masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini. But a trip to Rome is as much about lapping up the local lifestyle as feasting on art and culture. Whiling away hours on a sun-baked cafe terrace, getting lost in backstreet alleys and hidden piazzas, indulging in sunset aperitivi (evening drinks) in on-trend cocktail bars, dining after dark in raucous neighbourhood trattorias – all this, too, is part and parcel of the exquisite Roman experience.

  • A Fountain for Memory
    1 A FOUNTAIN FOR MEMORY: The Trevi Flow of Power and Transcultural Performance Pam Krist, PhD Thesis School of Modern Languages, Literature and Culture Royal Holloway, University of London 2015 2 3 Abstract In memory studies much research on monuments focuses on those with traumatic or controversial associations whilst others can be overlooked. The thesis explores this gap and seeks to supplement the critical understanding of a populist monument as a nexus for cultural remembering. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is chosen because it is a conduit for the flow of multivalent imagery, ideological manipulation, and ever-evolving performances of memory, from design plans to mediated representations. The thesis begins by locating the historical pre-material and material presences of the Fountain, establishing this contextual consideration as contributory to memory studies. It then surveys the field of theory to build a necessarily flexible conceptual framework for researching the Fountain which, given the movement and sound of water and the coin-throwing ritual, differs from a static monument in its memorial connotations. The interpretations of the illusory Trevi design and its myths are explored before employing a cross-disciplinary approach to the intertextuality of its presences and its performative potential in art, literature, film, music, advertising and on the Internet. The thesis concludes with questions about the digital Trevi and dilution of memory. Gathering strength throughout is the premise of the Fountain as a transcultural vehicle for dominant ideologies ‒ from the papal to commercial, the Grand Tour to cyber tourism ‒ seeking to control remembering and forgetting. Sometimes these are undermined by the social and inventive practices of memory.
