Colosseum

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 17:18:56 +0000

Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater, or simply as Amphitheatrum, is the most famous Roman amphitheater, and is located in the city center of Rome. Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, is the largest and most important Roman amphitheater, and the most imposing monument of ancient Rome that has come down to us.

Its construction was begun by Vespasian in 72 AD but was only inaugurated in AD 80 by Emperor Titus and underwent structural changes during the reign of Domitian. The name “Colosseum”, which derives from the nearby statue of the Colossus of the Sun God (adaptation of the Colossus of Nero), spread only in the Middle Ages. Because of its “centrality” in the history of imperial Rome, the Colosseum is unanimously considered the symbol of Rome and his immortality.

The Villa Doria Pamphili, with its 184 hectares of extension, is one of the largest and most important parks in the city of Rome.
It originates from the country estate of a Roman noble family. It is also the official representative office of the Italian government. It is located west of the historic center. Nearby are the Trastevere district (approx. 1 km to the east), the Vatican City (approx. 1 km to the north) and the Villa Farnesina (approx. 1 km to the north-east).
It is bordered to the north by the ancient Via Aurelia and is crossed in the center by Via Leone XIII. Designed by the sculptor Alessandro Algardi and the painter Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi at the beginning of the seventeenth century, it is one of the best preserved villas in the city. In 1960 it was divided into two distinct parts for the opening of the Via Olimpica, on the occasion of the Games of the XVII Olympiad. Currently Villa Pamphili is divided into three areas: the palace and gardens (pars urbano), the pine forest (pars fructuaria), and the agricultural estate (pars rustica). Thanks to the Rome Metro Battistini stop, it is possible to reach easily and in a short time every point of the Eternal City.

Imperial Fora

Imperial Fora consist of a series of monumental building made by the emperors in ancient Rome in a period of about a century and a half (between 46 BC and 113 AD). Among the great emperors who brought fame with their works at the Fora include Julius Caesar (who decided to build a large square in his name), Octavian (who built a temple in honor of Mars Ultor after the battle of Philippi) and Vespasian (who built the Temple of Peace).

It was also because of its timeless appeal that Fascism then decided to open Via dell’Impero along the archeological area (the current route of the Via dei Fori Imperiali), joining Piazza Venezia with the Colosseum. The road, straight running, would be used for military parades, and still held there for the parade of the Italian Republic Day June 2.

Castel Sant’Angelo, also known as Mausoleum of Hadrian, is among the most ancient monuments of Rome and was originally founded to house the remains of Emperor Hadrian and his family.

The Castle (which took its current name only in the 590) is famous for being attached to St. Peter by a narrow corridor called passetto that allowed many Popes to take refuge within its walls during the darkest in the history of Papal state.

Castel Sant’Angelo was then famous for having inspired the great master Giuseppe Verdi‘s opera Tosca in the composition.
