This is the first exhibition of Roman antiquities at the Subjects: Social Studies, Art National Gallery. Related Activity: Mathematics, English “The lost-found story of Pompeii, which seemed to have a moral — of confidence destroyed and decadence chastised — appeared ideally devised for the ripe Victorian mind.” But its influence did not stop in 19th-century England. Pompeian influences exist in the Library of Congress, the Senate Appropriations Committee room and around D.C. We provide resources to take a Road Trip (or Metro ride) to some of these places. Although the presence of Vesuvius that destroyed and preserved a way of life is not forgotten, the visitor to the exhibit is taken by the garden of rosemary and laurel, the marble and detailed craftsmanship, the frescos and mosaics.

    Ci sono passati prima Oscar Wilde, Lenin e Humphrey Bogart. Ma in particolare negli anni '50 e'60, all'epoca della Dolce Vita romana, Capri diventa l'isola della mondanità. Attori e registi italiani, star di Hollywood, artisti, ragazze-copertina e nobili in vacanza. Tutti quelli che contano sono stati a Capri e l'hanno resa famosa nel mondo. Come provano queste foto Un'abitudine che ancora si rinnova ogni estate. Turisti di fronte allo storico hotel Quisisana, a Capri. È l'agosto del 1950 Dentro e fuori del set Maggio 1963. Brigitte Bardot arriva sull'isola campana per girare Il disprezzo, diretta dal regista Jean-Luc Godard. Eccola in alcune immagini scattate durante le riprese del film e nei momenti liberi: 1) in bikini sulla scalinata della villa di Curzio Malaparte, dov'è stata realizzata la pellicola; 2) assieme all'attore Samy Frey, suo compagno in quegli anni; 3) a passeggio a piedi nudi lungo le vie del centro di Capri. Non solo spettacolo Capri, bellissima e mondana, diventa una delle mete preferite da notabili di tutto il mondo. 1) 1 Faraglioni, simbolo dell'isola. 2) Tina Onassis (a sinistra), moglie dell'armatore greco Aristotelis Onassis, in compagnia di Maria Callas. E il 1959 e inizierà proprio da qui, con la crociera sul panfilo Christina, la storia d'amore tra la cantante lirica e il ricco armatore. 3) Soraya, imperatrice di Persia, con lo scià. E il 1957: dopo poco tempo sarà ripudiata per non avergli dato un erede al trono. Estati da rotocalco Negli anni '50, Capri è la meta preferita dai divi del cinema, che in estate riempiono i rotocalchi con le loro avventure.

  • Villa Jovis a Capri (Napoli) *
    Archeoastronomia nelle ville imperiali romane: Villa Jovis a Capri (Napoli) * Marina De Franceschini (Archeologa, [email protected] , sito web: www.villa-adriana.net ) Giuseppe Veneziano (Osservatorio Astronomico di Genova, [email protected] , sito web: www.oagenova.it ) Ricostruzione ottocentesca della Villa Jovis, sull’isola di Capri, eseguita dall’architetto tedesco Carl Weichardt (1846-1906), tratta dall’opera Das Schloß des Tiberius und andere Römerbauten auf Capri , 1900 . * Il presente studio è stato presentato al XII Convegno Nazionale della Società Italiana di Archeoastronomia (S.I.A.) tenuto ad Albano Laziale, il 5-6 ottobre 2012 ed è in corso di stampa negli Atti relativi. Da tempo immemorabile l’isola di Capri è uno dei luoghi più belli del mondo; fra i primi ad apprezzarla vi fu l’imperatore Augusto che, come narra Cassio Dione 1, visitò l’isola nel 29 a.C., durante il viaggio di ritorno a Roma dopo la battaglia di Azio. La bellezza del sito unita ad un prodigio favorevole lo spinse a cedere alla città di Neapolis l’isola Aenaria (l’attuale Ischia) per avere in cambio Capri, che divenne così proprietà imperiale 2. Augusto scelse Capri per la villeggiatura estiva e la chiamò Apragòpolis , cioè “città del dolce far niente”. Il suo successore Tiberio invece la elesse a propria residenza permanente, quando decise di abbandonare Roma; Tacito racconta che vi possedeva ben dodici ville 3. Le enormi dimensioni dell’edificio di cui trattiamo provano che era il più importante dell’intera isola, ragion per cui da secoli è stato identificato con la « villa quae vocatur Jovis » di cui parla Svetonio 4.
