Dr. Dan Gustafson, Deputy Director General of Operations at FAO, spoke of working in teams, and how successful teams are composed of members with different talents: the specialist, the visionary, the team builder, and the one with a holistic view. Using the metaphor of a stack of coins, one coin for each decision, Mr. Luca Crivellari, a youth worker and Peace Camp representative, reminded us the importance of being aligned with our core values. Professor Emilio Iodice, Vice President of Loyola University Chicago and Director of the Rome Center, spoke of leaders from Napoleon to Pelé; on the importance of vision, and basing our actions on facts. Marja Pronk, MD, Founder and Managing Director of Europe- ExPro, shared her story, both professional and personal, to emphasize how having the courage to listen to our inner voice, disregarding other people’s points of view, can be life changing. She highlighted how an idea once developed must be guided by knowledge, a supportive network of people and by listening to our inner voice. We learned the importance of education, hard work and delayed gratification from Dr. Prof. Festus Akinnifesi, Chief of FAO’s South-South Cooperation: “Preparation, preparation, preparation.” Last but not least, Mr. James T. Johnston, Officer in Command, Engineering Security Office of the US embassy, spoke of recognizing the humanity of people in the workplace and that leaders need to primarily develop themselves as individuals. Being an engineer he said that a machine can be built and broken, but most importantly it can be repaired. The conference ended with a panel discussion stimulated by thought provoking questions from the audience. The speakers’ presentations were filmed and are available on our school’s website and livestreaming at “new. livestream.com/aosronline.” As a follow-up to the conference, Ambassador Hackett sent us a powerpoint presentation on the attributes of Colin Powell, and Prof. Emilio Iodice, presented his book on Leadership to the school. It is now available in our HS library. The First AOSR Leadership Conference would not have been possible without the members of the National Honor Society working together as a team and without the support of these important people: our advisor Ms. Telmon, Mr. Kunin, Dr. Pfannl, Members of the Board of Trustees and the PTO, Anna Chiara, Ing. Piccioni, Ms. Arnold, Mr. Miller, Mr. Desideri, and the Maintenance Staff. Thank you all for contributing to this memorable event. Comments from students that attended the leadership conference: The Leadership Conference was one of this year’s highlights. At school we are given the tools to enrich our education, but it is really hard for a school to provide for “real talk” simulation. The Leadership Conference filled in that blank.- Charles, Grade 11. The Leadership Conference was a well organized school event and I liked what the speakers had to say. -Cooper, Grade 11. The Leadership Conference was very interesting. There were many different leaders who reached their positions, thanks to their knowledge and experience. This was very important for us as we learned key factors which generated these leaders. One leader who surprised me for his story was Mr. Akinnifesi. Thanks to his determination in accomplishing his studies he became a great leader. -Mattia, Grade 11. The Leadership Conference was a fascinating event. I very much liked the variety of speakers present. -Sofia, Grade12. The Leadership Conference was a very useful experience. I found that the speakers gave very good advice to all of us. -Alice, Grade 12. The Leadership Conference is one of the most inspiring events that I have experienced. The speakers shared important advice that motivated me to become an influential leader. -YiMing, Grade 12. page 2 AOSR News SPECIAL VISITOR ON The Geometric Mosaic Found at AOSR in 1959 CAMPUS By: Dr. Richard Hodges OBE, BY: DR. BETH PFANNL, HEAD OF SCHOOL President of the American University of Rome The American Overseas School at Rome lay exactly Last month, Dr. Richard Hodges, President within the fork of the junction of the Via Cassia and of the American University of Rome, visited the Via Veientana, depicted on the 4th-century map, the AOSR for the first time.

This building almost certainly extends from the Hodges has to say about our treasured mosaic. present Via Cassia to some point under the school to the line of the original Via Cassia. Coins and ceramics found in the dig indicate that the stone and brick building dates to the early to mid 1st century AD, the time of the Emperors Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius, and in common with many such properties in South Etruria was refurbished in the 3rd century. The simple black and white, geometric mosaic, made of decently cut tesserae, found in room 1, is a typical pavement for a functional room – corridors, service quarters etc. The white tesserae are of limestone and the black are of blue-black volcanic basalt. Curiously, the mosaic did not quite fit the room, and bits of stone and ceramics filled the narrow gap between it and the walls. J.

  • Rome in a Pocket
    FEBA ANNUAL CONVENTION 2019 TOWARDS THE NEXT DECADE. TOGHETHER ROME IN A POCKET 15-18 MAY 2019 1 When in Rome, do as Romans do The best way to visit, understand and admire the eternal city is certainly with…a pair of good shoes. Whoever crosses the old consular road of the ancient Appia, known as “Queen Viarum” notices immediately tourists in single file, walking the edge of the street on the little sidewalk. Along the way we reach the Catacombs of San Callisto and San Sebastiano, where, still today, the stones and the intricate underground tunnels, (explored for only 20 km), retain a charm of mystery and spirituality. We are in the heart of Rome, yet we find ourselves immersed in a vast archaeological park hidden by cultivated fields while, in the distance, we can see long lines of buildings. A few meters from the entrance of the Catacombs of S. Sebastiano, an almost anonymous iron gate leads to the Via Ardeatina where, a few minutes away, we find the mausoleum of the “Fosse Ardeatine”. It is the place dedicated to the 335 victims killed by the Nazi-fascist regime in March 1944, as an act of retaliation for the attack on Via Rasella by partisan groups that caused the death of German soldiers. 2 COLOSSEUM Tourists know the most symbolic In 523 A.D., the Colosseum ends place to visit and cannot fail to its active existence and begins see the Flavian amphitheater, a long period of decadence known as Colosseum due to the and abandonment to become a giant statue of Nero that stood quarry of building materials.

  • Lazio (Latium) Is a Region of Traditions, Culture and Flavours
    Lazio (Latium) is a Region of traditions, culture and flavours. A land that knows how to delight the visitor at any time of the year, thanks to its kaleidoscope of landscape and stunning scenery, ranging from the sea to the mountains, united by a common de- nominator: beauty. The beauty you will find, beside the Eternal City, in Tuscia, Sabina, Aniene and Tiber Valley and along the Ro- man Hills, without forgetting the Prenestine and Lepini mountains, the Ciociaria and the Riviera of Ulysses and Aeneas coasts with the Pontine islands. The main City is, obvi- ously Rome, the Eternal City, with its 28 hundred years, so reach of history and cul- ture, but, before the rise of Rome as a mili- tary and cultural power, the Region was already called Latium by its inhabitants. Starting from the north west there are three distinct mountain ranges, the Volsini, the Cimini and the Sabatini, whose volcanic origin can be evinced by the presence of large lakes, like Bolsena, Vico and Bracciano lake, and, the Alban Hills, with the lakes of Albano and Nemi, sharing the same volcanic origins. A treasure chest concealing a profu- sion of art and culture, genuine local prod- ucts, delicious foods and wine and countless marvels. Rome the Eternal City, erected upon seven hills on April 21st 753 BC (the date is sym- bolic) according to the myth by Romulus (story of Romulus and Remus, twins who were suckled by a she-wolf as infants in the 8th century BC. ) After the legendary foundation by Romulus,[23] Rome was ruled for a period of 244 years by a monarchical system, ini- tially with sovereigns of Latin and Sabine origin, later by Etruscan kings.

Oppure dalla stazione Termini con il filobus 90 o il bus 36. PREMESSA Villa Torlonia si trova lungo la via Nomentana n. 70, nel quartiere Nomentano che fa parte del III Municipio del Comune di Roma. La villa fu voluta dal banchiere Giovanni Torlonia (1756-1829) che acquistò nel 1797 una tenuta agricola dai Colonna. Il complesso neoclassico fu iniziato da Giuseppe Valadier1 nel 1802. Alla morte di Giovanni il figlio Alessandro (1800 -1880, questi, tra l’altro, realizzò il prosciugamento del lago del Fucino in Abruzzo) continuò i lavori dandone incarico a Giovanni Battista Caretti2 dal 1832. Alessandro volle i due obelischi che si trovano davanti e dietro il Casino Nobile, in onore dei genitori. Ad Alessandro subentrò il nipote Giovanni (Alessandro ebbe due figlie, una andò in sposa ad un Borghese che prese anche il nome Torlonia per continuare la casata) che fece trasformare la capanna svizzera in Casina delle Civette.

As the centre of the Roman Empire, Rome's history is second to none, and everywhere around the 7 hills of Rome this becomes apparent. All roads lead to Rome; and just as well, because going there once is not enough. The Romans, the climate, the history and the gastronomy make for a lovely southern atmosphere to be remembered forever. The buildings of antique Rome, the Colosseum and Forum Romanum being the most well known, are unique, but later periods have also left behind some worthwhile attractions.
