  • 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.

  • 039-San Pancrazio.Pages
    (39/20) San Pancrazio San Pancrazio is a 7th century minor basilica and parish and titular church, just west of Trastevere. This is in the suburb of Monteverde Vecchio, part of the Gianicolense quarter. The church is up a driveway from the road, and is surrounded by the park of the Villa Doria Pamphilj. The dedication is to St Pancras. History The basilica is on the site of the tomb of St Pancras, an early 4th century martyr. Unfortunately his legend is unreliable, but his veneration is in evidence from early times. The revised Roman martyrology carefully states in its entry for 12 May: "St Pancras, martyr and young man who by tradition died at the second milestone on the Via Aurelia". The actual location is on the present Via Vitellia, which is possibly an ancient road in its own right. The legend alleges that the body of the martyr was interred by a pious woman called Octavilla. This detail is thought to preserve the name of the proprietor of the cemetery in which the martyr was buried, which as a result is also called the Catacombe di Ottavilla. The re-laying of the church's floor in 1934 revealed some of the original surface cemetery (cimitero all'aperto), which began as a pagan burial ground in the 1st century. Three columbaria or "gardens of remembrance" for funerary ashes were found. This cemetery around the saint's tomb was extended as a Christian catacomb beginning at the start of the 4th century, with four separate identifiable foci. The earliest area seems to be contemporary with his martyrdom.

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.

  • Writing Rome
    TRAVEL SEMINAR TO ROME JACKIE MURRAY “Writing Rome” (TX201) is a one-credit travel seminar that will introduce students to interdisciplinary perspectives on Rome. “All roads lead to Rome.” This maxim guides our study tour of the Eternal City. In “Writing Rome” students will travel to KAITLIN CURLEY ANDERS, Rome and compare the city constructed in texts with the city constructed of brick, concrete, marble, wood, and metal. This travel seminar will offer tours of the major ancient sites (includ- ing the Fora, the Palatine, the Colosseum, the Pantheon), as well as the Vatican, the major museums, churches and palazzi, Fascist monuments, the Jewish quarter and other locales ripe with the PHOTOS BY: DAN CURLEY, DAN CURLEY, PHOTOS BY: historical and cultural layering that is the city’s hallmark. In addi- OFF-CAMPUS STUDY & EXCHANGES tion, students will keep travel journals and produce a culminat- ing essay (or other written work) about their experiences on the tour, thereby continuing the tradition of writing Rome. WHY ROME? Rome is the Eternal City, a cradle of western culture, and the root of the English word “romance.” Founded on April 21, 753 BCE (or so tradition tells us), the city was the heart of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and today serves as the capitol of Italy. Creative Thought Matters Bustling, dense, layered, and sublime, Rome has withstood tyrants, invasions, disasters, and the ravages of the centuries. The Roman story is the story of civilization itself, with chapters ? written by citizens and foreigners alike. Now you are the author. COURSE SCHEDULE “Reading Rome,” the 3-credit lecture and discussion-based course, will be taught on the Skidmore College campus during the Spring 2011 semester.

  • Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016
    EEXXTTRRAAOORRDDIINNAARRYY JJUUBBIILLEEEE ooff MMEERRCCYY The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016 Pope Francis, who is moved by the human, social and cultural issues of our times, wished to give the City of Rome and the Universal Church a special and extraordinary Holy Year of Grace, Mercy and Peace. The “Misericordiae VulTus” Bull of indicTion The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, which continues to be the programmatic outline for the pontificate of Pope Francis, offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary Jubilee which was announced on 11 April 2015: “The Church has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG 24). It is with this desire in mind that we should re-read the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee, Misericordiae Vultus, in which Pope Fran- cis details the aims of the Holy Year. As we know, the two dates already marked out are 8 December 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the day of the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, and 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, which will conclude the Holy Year. Between these two dates a calendar of celebrations will see many different events take place. The Pope wants this Jubilee to be experienced in Rome as well as in local Churches; this brings partic- ular attention to the life of the individual Churches and their needs, so that initiatives are not just additions to the calendar but rather complementary.

  • The Aqua Traiana / Aqua Paola and Their Effects on The
    THE AQUA TRAIANA / AQUA PAOLA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE URBAN FABRIC OF ROME Carolyn A. Mess A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Architectural History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural History May 2014 Cammy Brothers __________________ Sheila Crane __________________ John Dobbins __________________ ii ABSTRACT Infrastructure has always played an important role in urban planning, though the focus of urban form is often the road system and the water system is only secondary. This is a misconception as often times the hydraulic infrastructure determined where roads were placed. Architectural structures were built where easily accessible potable water was found. People established towns and cities around water, like coasts, riverbanks, and natural springs. This study isolates two aqueducts, the Aqua Traiana and its Renaissance counterpart, the Aqua Paola. Both of these aqueducts were exceptional feats of engineering in their planning, building techniques, and functionality; however, by the end of their construction, they symbolized more than their outward utilitarian architecture. Within their given time periods, these aqueducts impacted an entire region of Rome that had twice been cut off from the rest of the city because of its lack of a water supply and its remote location across the Tiber. The Aqua Traiana and Aqua Paola completely transformed this area by improving residents’ hygiene, building up an industrial district, and beautifying the area of Trastevere. This study

I). The monumental palace stretches for eighty ,five metres along the Western flank of the piazza from the Southern corner coward the Northern end. The exceptionally long fapde is organised into a symmetrical sequence of bays with a projecting central section and is buttressed, at the North end, by a distinct fapde with a large serliana win, dow (an arch with crabeaced sides). The exterior boasts a profusion of ornament that enlivens the surface and punctuates the horizontality of the building. Through sheer scale and abundance of form, the Palazzo Pamphilj bespeaks grandeur and authority. Architecture serves the rhetorical functions of communication and persuasion. In the early modem period (ca. 1500-1800), palaces in particular became synonymous with the statm of their owners. Today, the Palazzo Pamphilj houses the Embassy of Brazil in Rome, but until the government ofBrazil purchased the palace in 1960, it had belonged to the Pamphilj family.

Römisches Reich), in der Landschaft Latium am Tiber unterhalb der Einmündung des Anio gelegen, da, wo die Schiffbarkeit des Stroms beginnt und das Thal desselben in seinem Unterlauf am meisten von Hügeln eingeengt wird (s. den Plan, S. 898). Die Ortslage war in den tiefer gelegenen Teilen sumpfig, den Überschwemmungen des Tiber ausgesetzt und daher ziemlich ungesund. Die ältesten Erinnerungen städtischen Anbaues knüpfen sich an den isolierten Palatinischen Berg, die sogen. Roma quadrata, welche mit ihren drei Thoren als Gründung des Romulus galt. Die Tradition läßt Rom unter der Königsherrschaft dann in folgender Weise sich vergrößern. Zur Roma quadrata kam zunächst die folgenreiche Ansiedelung der Sabiner unter Titus Tatius auf dem Mons Capitolinus und der Südspitze des Collis Quirinalis, das sogen. Capitolium Vetus, hinzu. Auch die nordöstlich an den Mons Palatinus stoßende Anhöhe Velia ward frühzeitig mit Heiligtümern und Ansiedelungen besetzt; ebenfalls schon in alter Zeit ward ferner der Cälius mit etruskischen Geschlechtern unter Cäles Vibenna bevölkert. Der Aventinus ward unter Ancus Marcius von latinischen Städtegemeinden kolonisiert; dieser König überbrückte auch den Tiber und befestigte jenseit desselben den Janiculus.
