Places to see in ( Rome - Italy ) Palazzo Colonna
Places to see in ( Rome - Italy ) Palazzo Colonna
The Palazzo Colonna is a palatial block of buildings in central Rome, Italy, at the base of the Quirinal Hill, and adjacent to the church of Santi Apostoli. It is built in part over ruins of an old Roman Serapeum, and has belonged to the prestigious Colonna family for over twenty generations.
The first part of the palace dates from the 13th century, and tradition holds that the building hosted Dante in his visit to Rome. The first documentary mention notes that the property hosted Cardinal Giovanni and Giacomo Colonna in the 13th century. It was also home to Cardinal Oddone Colonna before he ascended to the papacy as Martin V (1417–1431).
With his passing, the palace was sacked during feuds, and the main property passed into the hands of the Della Rovere family. It returned to the Colonna family when Marcantonio I Colonna married Lucrezia Gara Franciotti Della Rovere, the niece of pope Julius II. The Colonna's alliance to the Habsburg power, likely protected the palace from looting during the Sack of Rome (1527).
Starting with Filippo Colonna (1578–1639) many changes have refurbished and create a unitary complex around a central garden. Architects including Girolamo Rainaldi and Paolo Marucelli labored on specific projects. Only in the 17th and 18th centuries were the main facades completed, one facing Piazza SS. Apostoli and the other Via della Pilotta. Much of this design was completed by Antonio del Grande (including the grand gallery), and Girolamo Fontana (decoration of gallery). In the 18th century, the long low facade designed by Nicola Michetti with later additions by Paolo Posi with taller corner blocks (facing Piazza Apostoli) was constructed recalls earlier structures resembling a fortification.
The main gallery (completed 1703) and the masterful Colonna art collection was acquired after 1650 by both the cardinal Girolamo I Colonna and his nephew the Connestabile Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna and includes works by Lorenzo Monaco, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Palma the Elder, Salviati, Bronzino, Tintoretto, Pietro da Cortona, Annibale Carracci (painting of The Beaneater), Guercino, Francesco Albani, Muziano and Guido Reni. Ceiling frescoes by Filippo Gherardi, Giovanni Coli, Sebastiano Ricci, and Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari celebrate the role of Marcantonio II Colonna in the battle of Lepanto (1571). An Apotheosis of Martin V was painted by Benedetto Luti. There are frescoed apartments completed after 1664 by Crescenzio Onofri, Gaspard Dughet and Pieter Mulier II (nicknamed Cavalier Tempesta). Other rooms were frescoed in the 18th century by Pompeo Batoni and Pietro Bianchi. The gallery is open to the public on Saturday mornings, featuring free guided tours in English at 11.45 a.m.
The older wing of the complex known as the Princess Isabelle's apartments, but once housing Martin V's library and palace, contains frescoes by Pinturicchio, Antonio Tempesta, Crescenzio Onofri, Giacinto Gimignani, and Carlo Cesi. It contains a collection of landscapes and genre scenes by painters like Gaspard Dughet, Caspar Van Wittel (Vanvitelli), and Jan Brueghel the Elder.

Rome, Italy (part 2) with Gregorian
I visited Rome with friends in late 2013. I am sure it is not surprising at all that we found the city breathtaking and earlier I posted a slideshow on the most liked sights that we visited. However there were some pictures that have a different atmoshpere and did not fit into that one. These are pictures from the Catacomb of Priscilla, indoor pictures of certain churches and night time pictures. NOTE: You cannot take pictures inside the catacomb so I did not do so. The catacomb images are scans from postcards we bought there however this is what we got to see there. This time the music is Gregorian. Enjoy! : ) [1 Chronicles 17,16] Thanks be to God!

VILLA DELLA PILLOTA - ROMA - ITALIA 2017
Parece que la pelota llegó a Roma como los toros, con los Borgia, los Borja de Játiva que 'italianizaron' su apellido. La tropa valenciana que llegó con los dos papas de la familia en el siglo XV se acomodó en la ciudad e introdujo el juego de la 'pilota', como aún se llama hoy en valenciano. De hecho hay una calle en Roma que se llama así, Via della Pillota, porque en la plaza del mismo nombre, donde hoy se levanta la Universidad Gregoriana, era el lugar en el que se disputaban los partidos.
Roma,Madonna dell'Archetto, il più piccolo Santuario mariano del Mondo (manortiz)
La Madonna dell’Archetto restaurata nel santuario più piccolo del mondo
Gli allievi della scuola delle Arti Ornamentali del Campidoglio hanno lavorato sulla minuscola chiesa vicino a piazza della Pilotta, che ha una storia insolita
di Lilli Garrone
ROMA - Una nuova bellezza per la «Madonna dell’Archetto». E un restauro eseguito solo da giovani, dagli allievi del corso di «Restauro del dipinto» della scuola delle Arti Ornamentali del Campidoglio, che hanno restituito l’intenso blu e gli antichi ori a una chiesetta «quasi» sconosciuta anche se dalla lunga storia. In un vicolo nei pressi di via di San Marcello, infatti, in una strada buia e «molto malfamata - come racconta la sua custode - esisteva questa immagine della Madonna che era stata collocata lì quasi a protezione di tanto dolore». Un’immagine, però, di tutto rispetto. Perché la nobildonna romana Alessandra dei conti Mellini Muti che la volle donare alla città decise di far eseguire il dipinto a uno dei maggiori pittori presenti allora (siamo nel 1690) a Roma, il bolognese Domenico Muratori allievo del Carracci che si ispirò alla Madonna di Sassoferrato: Il quadro Maria Santissima Causa nostrae laetitiae venne collocato entro le pareti di un Arco che unisce via di San Marcello a piazza della Pilotta. Ma l’evento miracoloso che ha portato alle chiesetta attuale fu «il 9 luglio del 1796 - così prosegue il racconto della custode - quando l’immagine della Vergine mosse prodigiosamente gli occhi e fu vista da tutti i passanti. Il miracolo si ripetè varie volte
Costruita nel 1851
Il 21 maggio nel tardo pomeriggio l’inaugurazione del restauro con la benedizione del vescovo ausiliare di Roma Mons. Matteo Zuppi, con gli emozionati allievi che così hanno completato il loro percorso formativo con un esperienza di cantiere e con la soddisfazione della coordinatrice della scuola, l’architetto Giovanna Benincasa. «È stato un lavoro non lunghissimo, quattro o cinque mesi - spiega - dove la reintegrazione pittorica è stata eseguita ad acquarello, dove i marmi sono stati puliti con impacchi di carbonato di ammonio e le gocce di cera e i residui di vernice rimossi meccanicamente». Così la cupola della «Madonna dell’Archetto» è tornata alla sua antica bellezza come la immaginò l’architetto Virginio Vespignani che nel 1851 costruì la minuscola chiesa per incarico di un discendente della prima committente, il marchese Muti Papazzurri e , e che riuscì a dare l’impronta di una piccola basilica. La chiesetta è in realtà un santuario mariano, il più piccolo del mondo.
Dall’Archetto a Washington
La storia più curiosa, però, è quella della cupola, realizzata da Costantino Brumidi, «un nome da noi quasi sconosciuto - prosegue la custode che oltre ad aver le chiavi della Cappella fa parte dell’Associazione promotrice buone opere in Roma” - ma che è molto famoso in America perché ha eseguito le opere che adornano la cupola del Campidoglio a Washington». E adesso che il cancello verde e la porta è stata riaperta i romani potranno riscoprire anche questa immagine della Madonna che «ha mosso gli occhi» e che con il suo mantello blu sembra voler proteggere un vicolo oscuro come quello dell’ Archetto

Traditional New Year's Eve dinners reflect more austere times in Italy
Italians are having to adjust their traditional meal eaten on New Year's Eve known as Cenone (big dinnner) due to the country's economic downturn.
New Year's Eve in Italy is traditionally celebrated by eating the cenone: a rich fish dish.
On Tuesday, in the central Esquilino working class neighbourhood, near the central railway station, people queued up early at the food market in Piazza Vittorio for fresh seafood.
While consumers are still using fresh fish as their main ingredient, they are spending more time hunting for cheaper seafood in the markets.
There is still a demand but it is limited, people are more careful of their spending on fish. They are trying to find fresh fish that costs less, said Nicola Colecchia, who runs one of the most popular fish-stands in the Esquilino market.
Worried about the weak economy, but still willing to celebrate the New Year traditionally, Italians are trying to find new strategies to honour the Cenone meal.
You try to save on portions, on quantities and you try to find fish that is fresh and at the same time has a good price, said consumer Furio Pilotta.
According to Marcello Messori, Professor of Political Economy at LUISS University (Libera Universita Internazionale degli Studi Sociali, or free international university for social studies) in Rome, Italy in 2014 should take advantage of Germany's positive economic trends.
Probably in Europe, Germany will have a positive rate of growth, hence Italy will be able to exploit partially, this positive trend in the international markets due to the fact that the export of the Italian economy is not so bad, he said.
And Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta was optimistic regarding the country's economic stability in 2014.
The policies against unemployment will start giving some results, the growth can create new opportunities, and so we can start working on important reforms that would enable our country to be more competitive, he said, referring to 2014 in his Christmas address.
But Valter Giammaria, President of the Commerce Association for the Province of Rome, is not as positive for 2014's economic outlook.
He believes that if the Italian government does not decrease the taxation on the income of medium and small business and on labour, Italy could face an even harder crisis due to the subsequent drop of the demand of goods.
Overall, more than 1.7 (m) million families in Italy live in a state of absolute poverty for a total of 4.8 (m) million individuals, amid rising unemployment and a stubborn recession, according to the the National Institute for Statistics.
Unemployment in Italy has reached record levels of over 12 per cent in October, with more than four in 10 under-25s out of work during the recession.
The forecast for consumption for 2014 seems a little better, with consumption levels expected to gradually increase even if the level of occupation does not seem to go in the same direction.
According to commerce association Confesercenti, 2014 is expected to register a consumption increase of around the 0.6 per cent, after two years of negative figures. Families are expected to restart spending and they should invest first of all in hard durable goods.

PARMA - Italy Travel Guide | Around The World
From the train station it is an easy walk into the historic city center. The train ride from Bologna to Parma is about one hour and there is a shuttle service from the Bologna airport to the Bologna train station. Milan is also less than two hours north of Parma along the A1 autostrada, or a 45 minute train ride on the freccia bianca inter city trains.
Virtually everything in the historic city center is within easy and leisurely walking distance. Sites across the river require a little more walking but still not too much. The terrain is flat and biking is very popular among the locals. Taxis are easily available at the train station and across the street from the Governor's Palace in the center of town. There are rental cars at the small airport just outside town. Parking can be a challenge downtown, however there are several parking garages outside the city center, the largest is behind Teatro Due. The city has an access control system which limits entrance to the city center to local tagged vehicles only. This system is generally switched off after midnight. There is an extensive local bus line.
The Museo Glauco Lombardi is a particularly interesting and well done museum documenting the life of Maria Luigia, second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duchess of Parma. The museum is very personal and engaging with many artifacts and belongings of the gifted, talented and well educated Maria. Well worth the visit.
The Piazza Duomo is where you'll find the city's cathedral and the baptistry, both built in the late 12th century. The baptistry was designed by Benedetto Antelami and is constructed from a pink marble called rosso di Verona. The marble appears to change color depending on how the sun hits it. It is one of the most recognized medieval structures in the country. The frescoes inside the building are very moving, as well as the relief sculptures on the interior stone. Cathedral is free but the baptistery costs a steep €6.
Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi (Garibaldi Square) is where the original Roman Colony, founded in 183 BC had a forum. The square served as a road hub over the Roman road, Via Aemilia. Today the modern square contains shops and restaurants, as well as the Palazzo del Governatore (Governor's Palace), with a facade dating to 1760 and an astronomical clock. The 13th century Palazzo del Municipio (Town Hall) is also on the square.
The Palazzo della Pilotta, named for the Basque ball game pelota once practiced in one of the courtyards, is a sixteenth century complex of buildings constructed as court to the famed Renaissance Farnese family. It was said to be one of the finest in all of Italy. The Palazzo della Pilotta houses the historic Baroque style theatre, Teatro Farnese.
Attend the opera at the gorgeous and world famous Teatro Regio known for its passionate and critical local opera aficionados. Buy tickets early as the opera is extremely popular in Parma and tickets sell out early. The Festival Verdi celebrates the famous and adored Parma resident Giuseppe Verdi throughout the month of October every year.
