A night in Rome A night in Rome All paths lead to Testaccio, where young urbanites look for fun. The sheer variety of ever-changing bars and clubs housed in ex-warehouses means there is always a new venue to discover. In the warren of streets behind Piazza Navona the beautiful people dance and play through the night.Dress to impress and swig cocktails and Prosecco under the night sky with an international crowd before cavorting in all the right clubs till dawn. Come nightfall, the cobbled streets of Trastevere bristle with the traffic of revellers enjoying a passeggiata (evening stroll) and ice cream, dining at a rustic pizzeria, or chatting over a glass of wine and waxing lyrical till late into the night. In the bygone days of dolce vita glamour, Via Veneto was the epicentre of Roman nightlife. The beat has moved on, but there are still a few classic nightclubs that relive the heyday for a mature and well-heeled champagne-quaffing crowd. Don't even think about hitting the clubs before midnight, but rest assured you can dance till dawn. Hungry clubbers head to cornettifici (bakeries) for freshly baked croissants before going to bed. Most wine bars in the centre stay open till around 2am, but once summer arrives, the big clubs transfer to the beaches of Ostia and Fregene. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 01/04/2020 Tasty Rome Tasty Rome Testaccio is home to the former slaughterhouse, many of the trattorie (typical italian restaurant) in this rustic part of town stick with tradition, cooking up dishes using butcher's cuts of meat known as the ‘fifth quarter' such as offal, tripe and the classic Roman oxtail.

But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago.

However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors.

The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days.

Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium.

The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican.

The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him.

All paths lead to Testaccio, where young urbanites look for fun. The sheer variety of ever-changing bars and clubs housed in ex-warehouses means there is always a new venue to discover. In the warren of streets behind Piazza Navona the beautiful people dance and play through the night.Dress to impress and swig cocktails and Prosecco under the night sky with an international crowd before cavorting in all the right clubs till dawn. Come nightfall, the cobbled streets of Trastevere bristle with the traffic of revellers enjoying a passeggiata (evening stroll) and ice cream, dining at a rustic pizzeria, or chatting over a glass of wine and waxing lyrical till late into the night. In the bygone days of dolce vita glamour, Via Veneto was the epicentre of Roman nightlife. The beat has moved on, but there are still a few classic nightclubs that relive the heyday for a mature and well-heeled champagne-quaffing crowd. Don't even think about hitting the clubs before midnight, but rest assured you can dance till dawn. Hungry clubbers head to cornettifici (bakeries) for freshly baked croissants before going to bed. Most wine bars in the centre stay open till around 2am, but once summer arrives, the big clubs transfer to the beaches of Ostia and Fregene.
Tasty Rome Tasty Rome Testaccio is home to the former slaughterhouse, many of the trattorie (typical italian restaurant) in this rustic part of town stick with tradition, cooking up dishes using butcher's cuts of meat known as the ‘fifth quarter' such as offal, tripe and the classic Roman oxtail. Rome's centre has an electric dining scene to sate all palates. See and be seen in the upmarket, silver-service restaurants near the Pantheon, or explore the winding streets behind Piazza Navona for a gourmet pizza topped with thinly sliced prosciutto and fragrant rocket. The run-down university quarter of San Lorenzo is packed with quirky, offbeat restaurants buzzing with leftfield character. Navigate the students and join the intelligentsia discussing lofty ideas over anything from vegetarian fare to gourmet game dishes. Wake up your tastebuds at aperitivo time, when many bars offer complimentary finger food with pre-dinner drinks. Lots of eateries are shut on either Sunday or Monday. Service is almost always included, otherwise a discretionary 5-10% is the maximum expected. Both bars and casual restaurants charge extra if you order at the table than at the bar. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/05/2020 Shoopping in Rome Shoopping in Rome Pick up designer favourites on Via dei Condotti, then join the style mavens in cool concept store TAD. Nearby, Via del Corso is packed with high-street clothing stores. For something a tad more retro, head to Via del Governo Vecchio for vintage leather jackets and 60s accessories. Mellow Via Margutta is filled with galleries displaying contemporary works of art, plus a few antique shops. Campo de' Fiori's daily flower and food market harks back to the days of the Renaissance. Head to Piazza di Testaccio for a more rugged, colourful flavour with local characters haggling over seasonal fruit and vegetables. Rise with the sparrows to snare antique bargains alongside fashionistas at Porta Portese flea market on a Sunday morning. Self-service is frowned upon in boutiques and independent shops and it is customary to let shop assistants know if you wish to browse. Shops are open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am till 7.30pm, plus Monday 4pm-7.30pm. Most of those in the centre do not close for lunch but outside of the main drag expect a lengthy mid-afternoon siesta. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/04/2020 A quick look at the eternal city A quick look at the eternal city Pay your respects to the Pope in St Peter's Square, then relive Ancient Rome's gladiatorial battles in the Colosseum. Muse over Bernini's perfect marble sculptures in the Galleria Borghese and decipher the genius of Caravaggio in the city's churches. Before leaving, toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain to ensure your return. Splash out on Armani, Gucci and Valentino designer labels on Via dei Condotti, then scour the Porta Portese market for retro finds. Antique furniture aficionados should visit the shops lining Via dei Coronari, lit by burning torches through winter, while art collectors should head for the galleries on Via Margutta. Beat the city heat with a trip to the beach in Ostia or retreat to the lush grounds of Rome's Orto Botanico. Quench your thirst in the idyllic butterfly oasis in the Hotel de Russie garden, or make a splash in the open-air Piscina delle Rose swimming pool in Mussolini's dream suburb of EUR. Rome celebrates summer with open-air cultural entertainment, including cinema screenings on Tiber Island, and music and dance performances in the Auditorium Parco della Musica and Villa Ada. Catch contemporary art exhibitions at the dynamic, futuristic-looking MAXXI arts museum. Take an aerial perspective on the Eternal City's bizarre hotch-potch of ancient monuments, terracotta rooftops and modern high-rise apartment blocks from the hot-air balloon that flies daily over the Villa Borghese at the top of Via Veneto. It's food time: start off with a classic pizza romana, then fill up on pasta all'amatriciana, a satisfying sauce of bacon, tomato and pecorino cheese. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 18/08/2019 Stars and Particles. The Voice of the Universe Stars and Particles. The Voice of the Universe The Voice of the Universe. A series of captivating experiments decipher and interpret signals from outer space, taking visitors onto a fascinating journey of scientific discovery.The exhibition, which is curated by the Italian Space Agency, the National Institute of Nuclear Physic and the National Institute of Astrophysics, explains the experiments, the telescopes and the detectors built in the most extreme environments on earth to capture and understand messages from the universe. The public is taken to the bottom of the sea, into the bowels of a mountain, onto vast desert plateaux and into space, where sophisticated observatories rotate in orbit around the earth, searching for waves or particles which could carry traces of distant events and past catastrophes. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/01/2020 Midnight Mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli Midnight Mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli When people think of Christmas Eve in Rome, they inevitably think of Midnight Mass at the Vatican. But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/09/2019 Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art. For a close comparison Hiroshige-Van Gogh there are on display three reproductions of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh ( 'Bride in the Rain', 'The Garden of plum Kameido' and 'Small pear flower ", preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and impossible to transport because of the delicate conditions conservative) directly inspired by the paintings of Hiroshige (the first two in review). By the will of the President of Fondazione Roma Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the works - reads a note - have been reproduced in true high resolution by Rai, according to a special digital processing technique which makes visible the colors and detail of the original in detail. The reproductions, which are part of the project 'Thei mpossible exhibitions' , designed by Renato Parascandolo, allowing exceptionally in parallel to see the masterpieces of two masters. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/03/2020 Explora: The children's museum in Rome Explora: The children's museum in Rome Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live. In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G. Agnelli, 10 in the Museo Civiltà Romana (EUR) Open Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 9 am -7 pm scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/09/2019 Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner The area is easily accessible from Rome and makes a perfect getaway for a weekend or mid week break from the hustle of the city or a great wind down stop after traveling through Italy. For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/09/2019 Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta.

But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/09/2019 Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/09/2019 Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art. For a close comparison Hiroshige-Van Gogh there are on display three reproductions of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh ( 'Bride in the Rain', 'The Garden of plum Kameido' and 'Small pear flower ", preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and impossible to transport because of the delicate conditions conservative) directly inspired by the paintings of Hiroshige (the first two in review). By the will of the President of Fondazione Roma Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the works - reads a note - have been reproduced in true high resolution by Rai, according to a special digital processing technique which makes visible the colors and detail of the original in detail. The reproductions, which are part of the project 'Thei mpossible exhibitions' , designed by Renato Parascandolo, allowing exceptionally in parallel to see the masterpieces of two masters. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/03/2020 Explora: The children's museum in Rome Explora: The children's museum in Rome Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live. In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery. A second area teaches children about daily necessities like food, water, shelter and transportation. There are areas designed to teach them about the ecosystem and respecting the environment, and about communication and the role of technology. Special arrangements can be made for birthday parties hosted at the museum. English speaking staff members and arrangements for school groups are available, but you'll need to call in advance.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums.

During the reign of King Servius Tullius, the famous temple of Diana was built here, sanctuary of the Latins. Today, one of the most beautiful view is that of St.Peter’s Basilica. Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore Rome It is the most important of the Roman churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The Basilica, standing on the top of the Esquiline Hill, has preserved its original primitive early Christian structure. The bell tower has a Romanesque style and is the highest one in Rome. Its coffered ceiling is adorned with the emblem of the bull of Alexander VI. Catacombe Rome They are ancient subterranean burial areas, Jewish and Christian, outside the walls of the city. They date back from the second century to the fifth A.D. Among the most important catacombs are those of Praetextatus, San Sebastiano, San Callisto and the Jewish Catacombs of the Villa Torlonia. Domus Area Rome It was built by Nero after the fire of the 64 AD. Gold, jewels and gems adorned most of its rooms, as well as statues plundered from Greece and Asia Minor. The entrance was located on the Via Sacra and the house extended along the valley where later was built the Flavian amphitheatre. In the heart of the structure was the huge statue of Nero realized by Zenodoros, about 30 meters high. Villa Adriana Rome The villa is a remarkable complex of classical buildings built by emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century A.D. Its blend of architectural elements from Egypt, Greece and Rome makes it a unique heritage. Among the impressive buildings we can find the Maritime Museum and the Hall of the Philosophers.

His Art nouveau influence is visible in the Transatlantico and the debating chamber, both rich of Art nouveau decorations. Cappella Sistina Rome Built by Giovanni dei Dolci in 1473 for Pope Sixtus IV, the Chapel is part of the museums of the Vatican.With its rectangular shape, it displays inside the well-known masterpieces of Raffaello and Michelangelo.

The Voice of the Universe. A series of captivating experiments decipher and interpret signals from outer space, taking visitors onto a fascinating journey of scientific discovery.The exhibition, which is curated by the Italian Space Agency, the National Institute of Nuclear Physic and the National Institute of Astrophysics, explains the experiments, the telescopes and the detectors built in the most extreme environments on earth to capture and understand messages from the universe. The public is taken to the bottom of the sea, into the bowels of a mountain, onto vast desert plateaux and into space, where sophisticated observatories rotate in orbit around the earth, searching for waves or particles which could carry traces of distant events and past catastrophes.
Midnight Mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli Midnight Mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli When people think of Christmas Eve in Rome, they inevitably think of Midnight Mass at the Vatican. But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 12/09/2019 Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art. For a close comparison Hiroshige-Van Gogh there are on display three reproductions of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh ( 'Bride in the Rain', 'The Garden of plum Kameido' and 'Small pear flower ", preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and impossible to transport because of the delicate conditions conservative) directly inspired by the paintings of Hiroshige (the first two in review). By the will of the President of Fondazione Roma Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the works - reads a note - have been reproduced in true high resolution by Rai, according to a special digital processing technique which makes visible the colors and detail of the original in detail. The reproductions, which are part of the project 'Thei mpossible exhibitions' , designed by Renato Parascandolo, allowing exceptionally in parallel to see the masterpieces of two masters. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/03/2020 Explora: The children's museum in Rome Explora: The children's museum in Rome Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G. Agnelli, 10 in the Museo Civiltà Romana (EUR) Open Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 9 am -7 pm scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/09/2019 Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner The area is easily accessible from Rome and makes a perfect getaway for a weekend or mid week break from the hustle of the city or a great wind down stop after traveling through Italy. For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

When people think of Christmas Eve in Rome, they inevitably think of Midnight Mass at the Vatican. But there are so many places to worship - the Pantheon has a service featuring Gregorian chants, some churches hold services in English and there's a not-to-be missed mass at Rome's Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Every Christmas Eve, the 124 stone steps leading to the Altar of the Heavens, or the Ara Coeli, are illuminated by flickering candlelight atop the highest point of Capitoline Hill in Rome. Traditional Christmas songs from leather-sandaled bagpipers weave their way through the crowds who ascend the seemingly never-ending stairs on a pilgrimage to Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. Upon entering, chandeliers and tapers welcome both visitors and locals alike into the warmth of the 7th century church, transporting the faithful to an era long ago. With candles blazing and anticipation rising, one of Rome's most venerated Christmas traditions begins.
Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica Crux Vaticana on Display at St. Peter's Basilica The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 10/01/2020 "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art. For a close comparison Hiroshige-Van Gogh there are on display three reproductions of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh ( 'Bride in the Rain', 'The Garden of plum Kameido' and 'Small pear flower ", preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and impossible to transport because of the delicate conditions conservative) directly inspired by the paintings of Hiroshige (the first two in review). By the will of the President of Fondazione Roma Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the works - reads a note - have been reproduced in true high resolution by Rai, according to a special digital processing technique which makes visible the colors and detail of the original in detail. The reproductions, which are part of the project 'Thei mpossible exhibitions' , designed by Renato Parascandolo, allowing exceptionally in parallel to see the masterpieces of two masters. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/03/2020 Explora: The children's museum in Rome Explora: The children's museum in Rome Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live. In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery. A second area teaches children about daily necessities like food, water, shelter and transportation. There are areas designed to teach them about the ecosystem and respecting the environment, and about communication and the role of technology.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him.

The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana, was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church. However, beyond its theological significance, the Crux Vaticana is also historically important as the only reliquary gifted from an emperor and emblematic of the unity between Eastern and Western Christianity as well as the Byzantine emperor’s Christian faith. For 1,500 years, it was used in the Vatican’s Christmas and Easter ceremonies, but after the gems and color began to dull due to candle wax and smoke exposure, it was tucked away for safe keeping and conservation. The restoration was paid for an anonymous donor who did not want the price tag released. The cross will be on display in St. Peter’s Basilica until Easter 2010.
"Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh "Hiroshige - master of nature": an exhibition on the painter that inspired Van Gogh From March 17 to June 7, the Japanese art will star next to the Museum Foundation Rome on Via del Corso. The exhibition traces the complete works of Hiroshige and all the issues dear to him: nature, animals, landscapes and travel. Considered one of the greatest Japanese artists of all time, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a reference point for many artists of the scene painted European impressionist and post impressionist painting, and his heavily inspired artists of the nineteenth century, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh repeatedly in his works the technique and themes of Japanese art. For a close comparison Hiroshige-Van Gogh there are on display three reproductions of masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh ( 'Bride in the Rain', 'The Garden of plum Kameido' and 'Small pear flower ", preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and impossible to transport because of the delicate conditions conservative) directly inspired by the paintings of Hiroshige (the first two in review). By the will of the President of Fondazione Roma Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the works - reads a note - have been reproduced in true high resolution by Rai, according to a special digital processing technique which makes visible the colors and detail of the original in detail. The reproductions, which are part of the project 'Thei mpossible exhibitions' , designed by Renato Parascandolo, allowing exceptionally in parallel to see the masterpieces of two masters. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 08/03/2020 Explora: The children's museum in Rome Explora: The children's museum in Rome Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live. In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery. A second area teaches children about daily necessities like food, water, shelter and transportation. There are areas designed to teach them about the ecosystem and respecting the environment, and about communication and the role of technology. Special arrangements can be made for birthday parties hosted at the museum. English speaking staff members and arrangements for school groups are available, but you'll need to call in advance.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building.

The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican.

The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him.

This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past.

In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery. A second area teaches children about daily necessities like food, water, shelter and transportation. There are areas designed to teach them about the ecosystem and respecting the environment, and about communication and the role of technology. Special arrangements can be made for birthday parties hosted at the museum. English speaking staff members and arrangements for school groups are available, but you'll need to call in advance.

The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G.

For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

Modeled after the first children's museum, which was founded in Boston in 1899, the museum's aim is to expand learning beyond the parameters of the classroom, and to help children understand themselves and the society in which they live. In the opening exhibit, which begins with the word "io", ("I") children understand how they came to be, from conception through doctor visits and delivery. A second area teaches children about daily necessities like food, water, shelter and transportation. There are areas designed to teach them about the ecosystem and respecting the environment, and about communication and the role of technology. Special arrangements can be made for birthday parties hosted at the museum. English speaking staff members and arrangements for school groups are available, but you'll need to call in advance. Via Flaminia, 82 (near Piazza del Popolo and the Ministry of the Navy) Tuesday -Friday 9:30 - 11:30 am and 3-5 pm.. Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 10 am-noon and 3-5 pm Visits last 1 hour and 45 min. Reservations are necessary on weekends and holidays. Children must be accompanied by adults
Rome's Planetarium and the Museum of Roman Civilization Rome's Planetarium and the Museum of Roman Civilization Rome's new Planetarium shares space with the Museum of Roman Civilizations, an improbable partnership between two polar extremes. The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G. Agnelli, 10 in the Museo Civiltà Romana (EUR) Open Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 9 am -7 pm scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/09/2019 Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner The area is easily accessible from Rome and makes a perfect getaway for a weekend or mid week break from the hustle of the city or a great wind down stop after traveling through Italy. For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean. Università della Tuscia, Località Bulicame, Strada S. Caterina (Viterbo) Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 12:30 pm tel 0761 357097 scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/12/2019 The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa Ninfa lies to the south of Rome in the province of Latina, resting at the confines of the ancient city of Norba, and butting against Monte Lepini at the north basin, where natural springs produce more than 80 liters of water a second. The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The Albergo del Sole is one of the oldest hotels in Rome and, perhaps, in the whole world, being built in 1476, and still offering today that particular ancient elegance, ideal for romantic travellers, in a setting with terracotta floors, beautiful original frescoes and in style furnishings.

Rome's new Planetarium shares space with the Museum of Roman Civilizations, an improbable partnership between two polar extremes. The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was. The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements. Location: Piazza G. Agnelli, 10 in the Museo Civiltà Romana (EUR) Open Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 9 am -7 pm
Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner Rome's Sabine Hills: nature is just around the corner The area is easily accessible from Rome and makes a perfect getaway for a weekend or mid week break from the hustle of the city or a great wind down stop after traveling through Italy. For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 27/09/2019 The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

Caterina (Viterbo) Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 12:30 pm tel 0761 357097 scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/12/2019 The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa Ninfa lies to the south of Rome in the province of Latina, resting at the confines of the ancient city of Norba, and butting against Monte Lepini at the north basin, where natural springs produce more than 80 liters of water a second. The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican.

The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The area is easily accessible from Rome and makes a perfect getaway for a weekend or mid week break from the hustle of the city or a great wind down stop after traveling through Italy. For travelers who seek the untouristy, off-the-beaten-track itineraries, this route from Rome through Sabina and eventually on to Umbria will offer splendid scenery, tranquil roads, rolling olive -lad hills dotted with tiny medieval hilltop villages, and small hidden treasures to discover and savour. The territory of the Sabine hills, perhaps more than any other area of central Italy, has preserved its original rural character. Rieti, capital of the province, marks the very center of the region, and is one of the least populated in Italy, notwithstanding its vicinity to Rome. The countryside explodes with color in spring and summer, with yellow broom and fields of sunflowers, as well as the green olive trees, which produce one of Italy's finest extra virgin olive oils with its DOP recognition. Many of the farms have been honored with prestigious annual awards. The oldest olive tree in Europe, two thousand years old, with a trunk measuring 7 meters in circumference, is one of the natural treasures of Sabinia. A surprising number of small hilltop villages remain unspoiled and authentic and although there are no “name brand” monuments, apart from the magnificent Farfa Abbey, and very few mentions in guide books, the area is steeped in history and medieval architecture. The Sabine hills offer the visitor a relaxing getaway, the chance to discover some of Italy's minor and secret treasures, meet local people in authentic surroundings, and savour the slower pace of life with traffic-free panoramic roads and plenty of silence.
The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano The Gardens of Rome - Part 1: Lake Bracciano On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/06/2020 The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers.

The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

On five hectares of land overlooking Lake Bracciano, San Liberato is one of the estates owned by the noble Odescalchi family, who also own Castello Orsini/Odescalchi in the town of Bracciano. (Yes, it's the castle is the where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married.) For centuries, it was Bracciano family seat of one of Rome's most powerful families, the Orsini. Just outside Bracciano's historic town center, on one of the region’s most elegant country estates, San Liberato encompasses a splendid Romanesque church. Chestnut groves, planted in the 16th century, still extend the distance of the property as far as the eye can see. But the botanical garden didn't get underway until the land was acquired by the Countess Odescalchi and her spouse Count Sanminiatelli. The couple entrusted the design and creation of the garden to the celebrated British landscaper, Russell Page (1906-1985), who began planting in 1964. Less than a decade later, the property was lush with rare trees and imported plants: Canadian maples, Japanese cherry, Asian flowering and Central American liquidambar and parrotie persiche grow side by side with camphor, liododendri and nycee. A section of the garden is dedicated to acid-phile plants, beautiful compositions of camelias, rhododendron, fragrant three-leaved Choysia and black bamboo. San Liberato also boasts a paradisical rose garden with innumerable varieties and colors. Open Saturdays and Sundays from April 1st until the end of November.
The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The gardens of Rome - Part 2 - Botanical Gardens at the University of Tuscia The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

Caterina (Viterbo) Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 12:30 pm tel 0761 357097 scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 16/12/2019 The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa Ninfa lies to the south of Rome in the province of Latina, resting at the confines of the ancient city of Norba, and butting against Monte Lepini at the north basin, where natural springs produce more than 80 liters of water a second. The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The garden extends across the Viterbese (town of Viterbo) plain reaching from the last folds of Monti Cimini to the nearby Bulicame, ancient thermal sulphuric mineral waters. The area is rich in archeological remains dating from the Etruscan and Roman eras. It is said to have been a sacred place of worship for the Etruscan people. The Bulicame spring is cited three times in Dante’s Inferno, cantos XII and XIV. Officially inaugurated in 1991, the university botanical garden is comprised of sections devoted to a wide variety of plant species. A large section is comprised of green houses, open to the public, where plants , including a wide variety of African succulents, are cultivated expressly for research and study. Other greenhouses re-create a tropical environment, to comfortably house collections of orchids and passion flowers. The fragranced rose garden includes 250 varieties, and other parts of the garden are devoted to collections of irises and the various species of palm, as well as plants indigenous to the Mediterranean.

The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa The gardens of Rome - Part 3 - The Gardens of Ninfa Ninfa lies to the south of Rome in the province of Latina, resting at the confines of the ancient city of Norba, and butting against Monte Lepini at the north basin, where natural springs produce more than 80 liters of water a second. The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/10/2019 The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

Ninfa lies to the south of Rome in the province of Latina, resting at the confines of the ancient city of Norba, and butting against Monte Lepini at the north basin, where natural springs produce more than 80 liters of water a second. The history that survives Ninfa takes in many legendary figures, beginning with the earliest documentation when the lands were donated by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine V to Pope Zachary, a diplomatic power play that placed Ninfa under papal dominance. In the XIII century, Benedetto Caetani, Pope Boniface VIII, encouraged his nephew, Pietro Caetani to purchase the territory, which was a strategic transit route for marauding gangs of mercenary soldiers entering from southern kingdoms of Sicily. During the next two centuries, Ninfa was slowly deserted. Internal feuding among Caetani family heirs and malaria from stagnant lake waters wiped out thousands of inhabitants. The re-development of Ninfa began in 1920 when Galasio Caetani began to plant his magnificent garden among ancient and medieval ruins. Spread over seven hectares, it’s a maze-like wonderland constructed around bridges, ponds and lakes. The garden has maintained its sylvan magic, reproducing it’s unparalleled beauty year after year. It makes for a wonderful day trip, a refreshing escape from the city. Ninfa Gardens, 40 km east of Rome can be easily reached by train to Latina Scalo (9km from Latina) From there, bus or taxi service will take you to the site. Gardens have limited opening days. From April to October, the 1st weekend and 3rd Sunday of each month.
The Pantheon The Pantheon The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 01/02/2020 The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda and was once a temple dedicated to various divinities. Originally constructed by Marcus Agrippa, it was then rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian and took on the form we can still admire to this day. Emperor Phocas then gave the temple of Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a church and restoration work has allowed it to be preserved. The huge cupola, 43 metres high, was a true feat of Roman architecture. It was made with materials heavier at the base and lighter at the top, to prevent the weight of the cupola from making it collapse. Fine polychrome marble inside and granite columns more than 14 metres tall add to the imposing and sumptuous nature of this Roman monument which now also houses the tombs of the King of Italy and Raffaello.
The Mouth of Thruth The Mouth of Thruth In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/04/2020 Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

In the portico of the Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, at the foot of the Aventine hills, a Roman statue is conserved that has attracted the attention and curiosity of tourists from all over the world. It is the "Bocca della Verità", which in English means the Mouth of Truth, an ancient stone mask from the Classical period that represents a river god with an open mouth, wide eyes and a flowing mane of hair. The reason for its unshakeable fame is a rather macabre legend associated with the mask since ancient times. If a liar puts their hand inside its mouth,they will lose it. This legend probably originates from Roman times. It is said that the rich wife of a Roman noble was accused of adultery. The woman denied the accusations, but her husband wanted to put her to the test by making her hand inside the stone mouth. Knowing perfectly well that she was lying, the woman used a very clever strategy. In front of a group of curious bystanders who had gathered around the Mouth of Truth, the man who was actually her lover embraced her and kissed her. She pretended that she didn't know him and accused him of being a madman and the crowd chased him away. When she put her hand into the mouth, the woman declared that she had never kissed any other man apart from her husband and the poor madman who had just kissed her. In this way she was certain that she hadn't lied and her hand was saved. The betrayed husband saved her honour, but the Mouth of Truth lost its credibility and it is said that since that day it no longer carried out its function as a right and unappeasable judge. The mask is so famous that even Hollywood honoured it in a film about the city called Roman Holiday. In one of the most memorable scenes, Gregory Peck, in front of a terrified Audrey Hepburn, daringly challenges the mask by putting his hand inside its mouth. Even today, this ancient mask is the cause of queues of tourists who line up outside the beautiful Paleochristian church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The thrill of the risk is evidently too strong and you honestly can't resist putting your hand inside this harmless, but unsettling stone face and hope for the best!
Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/01/2020 Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome.

Castel Sant’angelo was initially commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Elio Bridge was built specially in 135 BC to connect Campo Marzio with the tomb. The name of the monument is attributable to the large statue of an angel on the top terrace, in memory of the apparition in the 17th century of an angel who announced the end of the plague to Pope Gregory I. The bell “della Misericordia”, near the statue of the angel, was originally rung to inform the people of executions. The Vatican Corridor, built at the end of the thirteenth century, connected Castel Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Palace and acted as a raised passageway for the Pope to escape in the event of a siege.
Navona Square Navona Square This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 06/10/2019 The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

This square has an elliptic shape like a stadium and, in fact, rises on the ancient Domitian's Stadium. In it you can admire three splendid fountains. The central one is the Fontana dei Fiumi which was realized by Bernini and is characterized by four allegorical statues which represent the four main river in the world. The lateral ones are the Fontana del Moro designed by Bernini and the Fontana del Nettuno planned by Giacomo della Porta.In the middle of the square, there is the beautiful work of Borromini : the Chiesa di Santa Agnese in Agone which has a concave façade and represents a magnificient model of baroque building. Inside, in the crypt, you can admire the remains of the primitive church and the Domitian's Stadium. It is also one of the most frequented place in Rome: as a matter of fact, it is a meeting place both for tourist and Romans till late in the night thanks, also, to the numerous pubs, restaurants and piano-bars.
The Coliseum The Coliseum Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 23/10/2019 The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. The highly ostentatious opening ceremony, lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts involving the killing ofthousands of animals (5000 according to the historian Suetonius). For the opening, the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias – real sea battles reproducing great battles of the past. The Coliseum is one of the most imposing ancient structures. Imagine it all white, completely covered in splendid travertine stone slabs. It is elliptic in shape in order to hold more spectators. It had four floors; the first three had eighty arches each; the arches on the second and third floors were decorated with huge statues. What we see nowadays is just the skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. Three-fifths of the outer surrounding brick wall are missing. In the Middle Ages, when no longer in use, the Colosseum was transformed into an enormous marble, lead and iron quarry used by Popes to build Barberini Palace, Piazza Venezia and even St. Peter's. The holes still seen in many columns are just the holes made to extract the lead and iron used by the Romans for the nails inside the marble blocks. The amphitheatre could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tiers of seats were inclined in such a way as to enable people to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. Entry was free for all Roman citizens, but places were divided according to social status, the seats at the top were for the people, the nearer you got to the arena the higher your social status.
The Roman Forum The Roman Forum It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

It can be considered a symbol of antiquity. It was the center of the civic, juridical and economic life in Republican times. It can be reached from the Capitoline hill going down along Senators Building or behind the monument to king Victor Emmanuel II and walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was very damaged by the barbaric invasions. In 1700 the excavations brought out notable treasures of Romanic art. On the right of its main entrance you can see the ruins of the Basilica Emilia, erected in 179 B.C. The pavement of the ancient street, called Argiletum, separates this basilica from the Curia which was the Forum's first civic center. Just behind, you can see the arch of Septimius Severus, built in 203 A.D. and still almost intact. It consists of three arcades separated by white columns. Going on there are the Rostra, that is to say, the tribunes from where Roman Orators spoke. In front of the Rostra, you can admire the Phocas column, raised in 608 in honor of the homonymous emperor. Not far, there is the "Via Sacra", so called because it was crossed by priests during the sacred ceremonies; it preserves partly the original paving. Along the street, on the right, there are the Basilica Julia, made under Caesar, the temple of Saturn and the temple of Dioscuris, erected in the B.C.. Besides, you can see the temple of Vesta which has a circular plan and where a perpetual fire, symbol of eternal Rome, used to burn. In addition, you can notice the House of Vestals, where the virgins taking care of the fire lived. Along the "Via Sacra", on the left, there are the temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Basilica of Maxentius. The "Via Sacra" ended near the Arch of Titus.
The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 21/12/2019 Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them. More than 70,000 pieces are on exhibition in over 42,000 square meters, with another 50,000 pieces preserved in the vaults and storerooms. Forget about seeing everything in a single visit: it simply can't be done. To the millions of visitors that come here from every part of the globe to admire these marvels, the whole complex seems to be one gigantic museum but the Vatican Museums, with their full name "Papal Museums and Galleries", are the Museum of Museums, the result of the union of various collections, collections that often take the name of the pope that began them. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era. The Museums as they appear today, were created in the second half of the 18th century and are made up of two parts: the actual Museum and the popes palaces, naturally only the portions open to the public. The visit is an incredible stroll through the history of art where you can meet the greatest artists ever, through their most important works.
Campo de' Fiori Square Campo de' Fiori Square The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 14/04/2020 Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The Campo de’ Fiori square is one of the best known and liveliest places in Rome and has an interesting history. The celebrated open-air market, full of noise and colour, is busy all day long on account also of the many bars and restaurants frequented by tourists and locals alike. The statue of Giordano Bruno is a sign that Campo de’ Fiori also has important historical connotations. In fact, the statue stands at the very point where the philosopher was burnt at the stake after he was declared a heretic by the inquisition. As for the name of the square, tradition says it originated from the name of Flora, one of Emperor Pompey’s concubines; other people, instead, prefer to believe it came from the time when the square was a field filled with grass and flowers. Campo de’ Fiori also has a brilliant night-life, being one of the most popular meeting places in Rome.
Saint Peter's Basilica Saint Peter's Basilica The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta. The façade erected by Carlo Maderno is 115 metres wide and more than 40 metres high, supported by giant columns. In front of the façade are the two grand statues of St. Peter and St. Paul. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 09/09/2019 The Vatican City The Vatican City As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 16/02/2020 Hotel Raphael *****L Hotel Raphael *****L The Hotel Rapahel is a well know address in the city of Rome just a few meters away from Piazza Navona, in Largo Febo.

The Basilica di San Pietro (Basilica of St. Peter) is the largest church in the world. It covers around 22,000 square metres and its cupola stands 136 metres high. The basilica was first built in the mid 4th century during the pontificate of Silvester I. Pope Julius II later assigned Bramante the task of expanding the church, but this caused a dispute among a group of artists who were divided between a plan in the form of a Greek Cross (Michelangelo, Peruzzi and Bramante) and one in the form of a Latin Cross (Raffaello and Sangallo). Paul V eventually decided upon the Latin Cross and assigned the work to Carlo Maderno, who finished the Basilica in the early 1600s. The basilica’s stairs were designed by Bernini as were also St. Peter’s Square and its famous colonnade, and the canopy inside. Michelangelo designed the cupola for the Basilica of St. Peter but never saw its completion, which was taken over by Fontana and Della Porta.

The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome.

As the site where St. Peter was martyred and buried, the Vatican became the residence of the popes who succeeded him. Decisions taken here have shaped the destiny of Europe, and the great basilica of St. Peter draws pilgrims from all over the Christian world. The papal palaces besides beside St. Peter’s house the Vatican Museums. With the added attractions of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms, their wonderful collection of Classical sculpture make them the finest museums in Rome. The Vatican's position as a state within a state was guaranteed by the Lateran Treaty of 1929, marked by the building of a new road, the Via della Conciliazione. This leads from St. Peter to Castel Sant' Angelo, a monument to a far grimmer past. Built originally as the Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, this papal fortress and prison has witnessed many fierce battles for control of the city.
