  • 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.

  • 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome
    Anna Bortolozzi 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome Rome fut tout le monde, & tout le monde est Rome1 Drawing in the past, drawing in the present: Two attitudes towards the study of Roman antiquity In the early 1530s, the Sienese architect Baldassare Peruzzi drew a section along the principal axis of the Pantheon on a sheet now preserved in the municipal library in Ferrara (Fig. 3.1).2 In the sixteenth century, the Pantheon was generally considered the most notable example of ancient architecture in Rome, and the drawing is among the finest of Peruzzi’s surviving architectural drawings after the antique. The section is shown in orthogonal projection, complemented by detailed mea- surements in Florentine braccia, subdivided into minuti, and by a number of expla- natory notes on the construction elements and building materials. By choosing this particular drawing convention, Peruzzi avoided the use of foreshortening and per- spective, allowing measurements to be taken from the drawing. Though no scale is indicated, the representation of the building and its main elements are perfectly to scale. Peruzzi’s analytical representation of the Pantheon served as the model for several later authors – Serlio’s illustrations of the section of the portico (Fig. 3.2)3 and the roof girders (Fig. 3.3) in his Il Terzo Libro (1540) were very probably derived from the Ferrara drawing.4 In an article from 1966, Howard Burns analysed Peruzzi’s drawing in detail, and suggested that the architect and antiquarian Pirro Ligorio took the sheet to Ferrara in 1569.
