  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Lee Circle Before Lee Long before Lee, the circular park linking the upriver and downriver sections of New Orleans was called the Place du Tivoli. Tivoli is a name that invariably conjures up images of verdant and picturesque gardens, its origin to be found in an historic town in the Lazio region of central Italy, founded centuries before Rome. According to Cato the Elder, Catillus founded a town in the Sabine hills to the east of Rome named Tibur (the name of which evolved into Tivoli) in honor of one of his three sons, Tiburtus. The town’s name probably shares a common root with the river Tiber. Historical vestiges of settlement in the vicinity date back to the 13th century BC. Temple of Vesta, Tivoli, Italy Tivoli is home to the Villa d’Este, commissioned by the son of Lucrezia Borgia, whose Italian Renaissance gardens are the main reason for Tivoli’s renown. It was there that this author visited in his youth, sampling his first Campari, and dined that evening at the centuries-old Ristorante Sibilla. Napoleon and other notables made this idyllic restaurant a culinary destination, as well. Built in the early 1700s beside the circular Roman Temple of Vesta and the Sanctuary of the Sybil, its terrazza garden has a breathtaking view over the deep gorge of the Aniene River, with the sounds of the waterfall in the background. It has been called “the most romantic place in Italy.” The grandeur of Tivoli’s landscape, with its evocations of ancient glory, also made it a major destination for foreign visitors on their 19th century “Grand Tour.” The Tiburtine Sybil (a kind of oracle) is famous for having announced to the Emperor Augustus the coming of Jesus.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

The city library, already established in 1843, had grown through the years. In 1902, it received a $250,000 Carnegie grant to build a new Main Library and ve additional libraries spread throughout the city. (Carnegie was to fund 2,509 around the world from 1883 to 1929.) The land chosen for the Main Library was the site of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Depot, located at that time on the corner of Tivoli Circle (now called Lee Circle), and remained there until it was torn down in 1866.
