ART


Trying to describe Rome in a few lines would be pure provocation. Let the pictures tell the story. ust think of the Forums! They are a fundamental stage in art history. Or the Via Appia Antica, the "regina viarum", conceived with technical solutions that were to be used for many centuries afterwards. Or the mediaeval districts, which saw centuries of city life.

In the sixteenth century Michelangelo gave history the Sistine Chapel, the dome of St.Peter's, the statue of Moses, the Palazzo Farnese and the square on the Capitol. During the baroque period, great architects like Bernini and Borromini designed squares, fountains, churches and palaces to celebrate the greatness of the popes. Century after century, Rome became more defined and complete. Now, three thousand years after it was founded, the city is an extraordinary mosaic of architecture, art and culture.
