Walking Rome in a Day Part One PRINT.Cdr WalkingWalking ROMEROME inin aa DayDay -- PartPart OneOne This route covers a wonderful, and easily accessible, walking portion of the Eternal City. It’s a lot of ground to cover so you could certainly split it into 2 days, spending more time at each stop, if you wish. As you follow the map please check out the inside pages for some fun facts about each of the stops. There are also written Directions to the next area of interest. Most of all . Have Fun!!! © 2019.2019. TheGloveTrotters.com.TheGloveTrotters.com. WalkingWalking ROMEROME inin aa DayDay -- PartPart OneOne First, just a few words . they say that some of the most memorable things in life just happen, unexpectantly. One of those for me was Ramie's and I's trip to Rome for our 2nd honeymoon. We had just checked into our hotel and crossed the street to do our currency exchange. Unfortunately she was disappointed in the rates we got and, in her disappointment, missed the last of a series of steep stairs. The end result . a badly sprained ankle. She spent the rest of the week either lying in bed with her foot elevated (that actually lasted only a single day), in a wheelchair or on crutches. While not ideal this accident unexpectedly led to a series of pleasant benets during the week, but that's a different story. For the rst day, when she was laid up, she insisted I go out and enjoy myself. That is where the following itinerary came from . no specic planning, just having a sense of what I wanted to see and walking where I wanted to go at a pace I enjoyed. I'm not suggesting you try and do this all in one day as I did but do try and visit each of the stops. Each, in its own way, is part of what makes Rome my favorite city in the world. Part 2 is in the making… 84 minutes 4.3 miles © 2019.2019. TheGloveTrotters.com.TheGloveTrotters.com.

  • Planning Versus Fortification: Sangallo's Project for the Defence of Rome Simon Pepper
    Fort Vol. 2 1976 Planning versus fortification: Sangallo's project for the defence of Rome Simon Pepper Since 1527, when Rome had been captured and sacked by the mutinous soldiers of Charles V, it had been clear that the defences of the Papal capital were hopelessly outdated. The walls of the Borgo (the Vatican precinct) were constructed during the pontificate of Leo IV (847-855): those of Trastevere and the left bank, enclosing by far the largest part of the city, dated from the reign of the Emperor Aurelian (AD270-75) [1]. Impressive both for their length and antiquity, these walls were poorly maintained and fundamentally unsuitable for defence against gunpowder artillery. In 1534 the Romans were once again forcefully reminded of their vulnerability when a large Turkish fleet moored off the Tiber estuary. Fortunately the hostile intentions of the Turks were directed elsewhere: after taking on fresh water they sailed north to raid the Tuscan coastline. But in the immediate aftermath of the Turkish scare the newly elected Paul III committed himself to an ambitious scheme of re-fortification. Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, advised by many of the leading architects and soldiers employed by the Pope, was commissioned to submit design proposals [2]. Father Alberto Guglielmotti, the nineteenth-century historian of the Papal armed forces, tells us that Sangallo and his consultants decided to replace the Aurelian wall with a new line of works defending the developed areas on both banks of the river. The 18000 metre Aurelian circumfer- ence was to be reduced by half, a decision which is not difficult to understand when one glances at a contemporary map of the city.

  • Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale D’Arte Antica
    Palazzo Barberini: Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica El Palazzo Barberini, situado en la confluencia de una de las vías más importantes de la ciudad de Roma, la Via del Tritone, es uno de los lugares de Roma que merece la pena visitar. Antigua residencia de la familia Barberini, depositaria de uno de los linejes papales más afamados, el Palazzo Barberini, una vez musealizado, se ha convertido en Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, uno de los museos más prestigiosos y con mayor número de obras de arte de la Ciudad Eterna. El palacio, obra del arquitecto barroco Carlo Maderno y con intervención de Gian Lorenzo Bernini y Francesco Borromini, se convirtió en un referente a la hora de la construcción de palacios urbanos, ya que unía entre sus características las propias del palacio urbano y la villa campestre adornada con grandes jardines. Así pues, la propiedad de la familia Barberini y los bienes que poseía, fueron comprados por el recién creado estado italiano y, gracias al incremento de la colección Corsini, la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica se trasladó desde su antigua ubicación hasta el presente palacio. Paseando por sus dos niveles repletos de obras maravillosas, recreándote en cada una de ellas, porque cada una de ellas es especial, admirando los Tiziano, los Greco, los Bernini, los Caravaggio, los Guido Reni, acostarte para dejarte deslumbrar por el gigantesco techo con el “Triunfo de la Divina Providencia” de Pietro da Cortona... Un sinfín de objetos para alimentar el disfrute tanto del alma como del espíritu. O simplemente pasear por los jardines de la villa, un oasis de tranquilidad en medio de una ciudad populosa.

  • The Porta Del Popolo, Rome Pen and Brown Ink on Buff Paper
    Muirhead BONE (Glasgow 1876 - Oxford 1953) The Porta del Popolo, Rome Pen and brown ink on buff paper. Signed Muirhead Bone at the lower right. 222 x 170 mm. (8 3/4 x 6 5/8 in.) One of the first trips that Muirhead Bone made outside Britain was a long stay of two years - from October 1910 to October 1912 – in central and northern Italy, accompanied by his wife Gertrude and their children. After spending several weeks in Florence, the Bone family settled in Rome in the early months of 1911, and from October 1911 lived in a flat overlooking the Piazza del Popolo. During his time in Italy Bone produced thirty-two copper plates and numerous fine drawings, several of which were sent from Italy to London and Glasgow to be sold by his dealers. A number of Bone’s drawings of Italy were exhibited at the Colnaghi and Obach gallery in London in 1914, to very positive reviews. The present sheet depicts part of the outer façade of the city gate known as the Porta del Popolo, a section part of the Aurelian Walls encircling the city of Rome. The gate was the main entrance to Rome from the Via Flaminia and the north, and was used by most travellers arriving into the city for the first time. Built by Pope Sixtus IV for the Jubilee year of 1475, the Porta del Popolo was remodelled in the 16th century under Pope Pius IV. The Pope had asked Michelangelo to design the new outer façade of the Porta, but the elderly artist passed the commission on to the architect Nanni di Baccio Bigio, who completed the work between 1562 and 1565.

Burton’s words invoke the gallery of maps Pope Alexander VII assembled in Castel Gandolfo outside Rome in 1665 and animate Sutton Nicholls’s ink-and-wash drawing of Samuel Pepys’s library in London in 1693 (Fig. 1).2 There, in a room lined with bookcases and portraits, a map stands out, mounted on canvas and sus- pended from two cords; it is Giovanni Battista Falda’s view of Rome, published in 1676.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02320-8 - Campus Martius: The Field of Mars in the Life of Ancient Rome Paul W. Jacobs II and Diane Atnally Conlin Frontmatter More information CAMPUS MARTIUS A mosquito-infested and swampy plain lying north of the city walls, Rome’s Campus Martius, or Field of Mars, was used for much of the Roman Republic as a military training ground and as a site for celebratory rituals and the occasional political assembly. Initially punctuated with temples vowed by victorious generals, during the imperial era it became filled with extraordinary baths, theaters, porticoes, aqueducts, and other structures – many of which were architectural firsts for the capital. This book explores the myriad factors that contributed to the transformation of the Campus Martius from an occasionally visited space to a crowded center of daily activity. It presents a case study of the repurposing of urban landscape in the Roman world and explores how existing topographical features that fit well with the republic’s needs ultimately attracted architecture that forever transformed those features but still resonated with the area’s original military and ceremonial traditions. Paul W. Jacobs II is an independent scholar who focuses on ancient Rome and its topographical development. A graduate of Harvard College and the University of Virginia Law School, and a litigator by training, Jacobs has practiced and published in the area of voting rights, where knowledge of demographics, mapmaking, and geography is essential. He has spent extensive time in Rome and has studied the ancient city and its development for decades. Diane Atnally Conlin is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
