    Rome: Portrait of a City 2019 28 OCT – 9 NOV 2019 Code: 21941 Tour Leaders Em. Prof. Bernard Hoffert Physical Ratings Explore the treasures of the Eternal City, from the Etruscans through to the 21st century, with art history expert Emeritus Professor Bernard Hoffert. Overview Join Emeritus Professor Bernard Hoffert in Rome on a program that explores the enduring yet ever- changing nature of this extraordinary city. In Tarquinia, north of Rome, discover the exquisite beauty of Etruscan wall painting at the UNESCO site of the Necropoli dei Monterozzi and view fine Etruscan sculpture at the Villa Giulia. Marvel at the extraordinary ancient Roman architectural and engineering feats like the Pantheon and the revolutionary Roman documentary realism in the sculpture of Augustus’ Ara Pacis Augustae. Admire the glistening Early Christian and medieval mosaics that convey a sense of a transcendent world in churches such as Santa Prassede, Santa Maria Maggiore, San Clemente and Santa Maria in Trastevere. View Michelangelo’s awesome God of Creation on the Sistine Ceiling and his terrifying Just Christ of the Last Judgement, as well as Raphael’s superb frescoes in the Vatican Stanze and the Villa Farnesina. Outside Rome, wander through the exquisite pentagonal Villa Farnese at Caprarola with its extensive park adorned with fountains, walled gardens and a casino; and explore the garden masterpiece of the Renaissance, Vignola’s Villa Lante at Bagnaia. Contemplate Caravaggio’s portrayal of deep spiritual awakening in his St Matthew cycle in the church of San Luigi dei Francesi, and his Crucifixion of Saint Peter and Conversion of St Paul at Santa Maria del Popolo, and witness the revolutionary illusionism and high drama of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s sculptures at the Villa Borghese.

Avoiding the travails of the road, you arrived by ship at the port of Ostia; from there, you’ve had a short journey up the Via Ostiensis into Roma herself. What do you see there? 3 Quam pulchra est urbs aeterna! • What is there to see in Rome? • What are some monuments you have heard of? • How old are the buildings in Rome? • How long would it take you to see everything important? 4 Map of Roma 5 The Roman Forum • “According to the Roman legend, Romulus and Tatius, after the mediation of the Sabine women, met on the very spot where the battle had been fought, and made peace and an alliance. The spot, a low, damp, grassy field, exposed to the floods of the river Spinon, took the name of “Comitium” from the verb coire, to assemble. It is possible that, in consequence of the alliance, a road connecting the Sabine and the Roman settlements was made across these swamps; it became afterwards the Sacra Via…. 6 The Roman Forum • “…Tullus Hostilius, the third king, built a stone inclosure on the Comitium, for the meeting of the Senators, named from him Curia Hostilia; then came the state prison built by Ancus Marcius in one of the quarries (the Tullianum). The Tarquin [kings] drained the land, gave the Forum a regular (trapezoidal) shape, divided the space around its borders into building- lots, and sold them to private speculators for shops and houses, the fronts of which were to be lined with porticoes.” --Rodolfo Lanciani, The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome, 1897, p.
