In 1506 construction began on Bramante’s design for a new basilica based on a Greek-cross plan, with four equal arms and a huge central dome. But on Bramante’s death in 1514, building ground to a halt as architects, including Raphael and Antonio da Sangallo, tried to modify his original plans. Little progress was made and it wasn’t until Michelangelo took over in 1547 at the age of 72 that the situation changed. Michelangelo simplified Bramante’s plans and drew up designs for what was to become his greatest architectural achievement: the dome. He never lived to see it built, though, and it was left to Giacomo della Porta and Domenico Fontana to finish it in 1590.

    Sezioni Mostra

    SEZIONI MOSTRA L’esposizione è suddivisa in tre sezioni : Prima della Spina La Spina dei Borghi Cavare la “spina” a San Pietro PRIMA DELLA SPINA Tramite sculture, affreschi, disegni, dipinti e cartografie si racconterà come questo territorio passò dall’essere marginale e inospitale ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma divenendone parte integrante. Escluso dal perimetro delle mura, povero e malsano a causa dei frequenti straripamenti del Tevere, questo territorio iniziò ad esercitare una forte attrazione urbanistica su Roma solo a partire dalla prima età imperiale. A seguito di interventi di bonifica furono realizzate le prime ville suburbane le più famose delle quali appartenevano ad Agrippina e Domizia. Giardini dal ricco arredo scultoreo si alternavano a costruzioni sfruttando scenograficamente la topografia dei luoghi, vicini al fiume e prossimi ai rilievi del colle Vaticano, del Monte Santo Spirito e del Gianicolo. Lungo le due strade principali che attraversavano la zona, la via Triumphalis e la via Cornelia, si addensarono diversi monumenti funerari (tra le memorie più evidenti, oggi, il mausoleo di Adriano, la necropoli vaticana – sotto la Basilica – e quella dell’Autoparco Vaticano e di S. Rosa). Se il termine “ Vaticano ” è oggi immediatamente riconducibile a San Pietro e al cristianesimo, in età imperiale ebbe una valenza fortemente pagana : quest’area ospitò infatti un luogo di culto dedicato alla dea frigia Cibele chiamato, per l’appunto, Vaticanum o Phrygianum Vaticanum frequentato ancora fin quasi alla fine del IV sec. d.C ., in compresenza e forse in contrapposizione alla nuova fede emergente, il cristianesimo. Nel corso dell’alto medioevo, intorno alla Basilica si sviluppò una vera e propria area sacra con monasteri, diaconie, chiese: burgs era il termine con cui i pellegrini germanici definivano l’agglomerato da cui “Borgo”.

Il cantiere del nuovo San Pietro, avviato da Giulio II della Rovere (1503-1513) all’inizio del secolo e proseguito dai suoi successori Leone X de’ Medici (1513-1521), Adriano VI Florensz (1522-1523) e Clemente VII de’ Medici (1523-1534), i quali «variis obstantibus impedimentis perficere non potuerunt», al tempo di Paolo III entra in una fase decisiva2. Per agevolare le complesse operazioni di approvvigio- namento di travertino, scaglia, calce e legna da lavoro necessarie alla costruzione, papa Farnese e i deputati della Fabbrica ritengono fondamentale l’assegnazione del fiume Aniene, alias Teverone, «ad commodum et utilitatem Fabricae […] inchoandi a Ponte Lucano [...] usque ad illius faucem et illius introitum in Tyberim»3. Con tale disposizione la Congregazione petriana guadagna ampi diritti sul fiume interessato dal trasporto di materiale per l’edilizia, vale dire quello corrispondente al tratto finale del suo corso, assicurandosi anche una sorta di privativa sulle licenze per il taglio 1 ARCHIVIO DELLA FABBRICA DI SAN PIETRO IN VATICANO (d’ora in poi AFSP), 50, A, 13, c. 973r.
