Why paint Rome?

Page 3: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

We have lived in Rome for many years, and we have always painted. First of all, as painters, we feel the call to observe and interpret the reality that is offered here to our gazes. In order to paint this city, it is clear that the crux of our research is the particularly interesting light of Rome. Also important is the typically warm colours of buildings, which, in the hours when the sun is low, are most brilliant and the color of the sky which is always so 'saturated' and with which the buildings contrast.

Viviamo a Roma da molti anni, e la dipingiamo da sempre. Prima di tutto perchè essendo pittori ci sentiamo chiamati a osservare e interpretare la realtà che si offre al nostro sguardo. A dipingere questa città ci è apparso subito chiaro che il punto cruciale della nostra ricerca doveva essere la luce, che qui è particolarmente interessante, anche per via della tipica coloritura "calda" degli edifici, che nelle ore in cui il sole è più basso si presentano brillanti al massimo, a contrasto con il colore del cielo, sempre così "saturo".

Page 4: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

The origins of painting of Rome are lost in the mists of time ... painters have always wanted to paint it, often making long journeys to Italy. But Rome, unfortunately, like all 'touristic' cities, is full of amateurs who want to depict the 'picturesque' with commercial intentions, so that low quality paintings are presented to the tourists at low cost. Moreover, especially in the present, we have lost the deeper meaning of painting and the situation can only get worse.Le origini della raffigurazione di Roma si perdono nella notte dei tempi...Da sempre i pittori hanno voluto dipingerla, spesso in viaggio in Italia. Ma Roma, purtroppo, come tutte le città "turistiche", è piena di dilettanti che vogliono dipingerla con intenzioni commerciali, perciò trabocca anche di cattiva pittura. Per di più, in questo momento in cui si è perduto il significato della Pittura, la situazione non può che peggiorare.

Page 5: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

For this reason, we believe that 'Painting Rome' with the true consciousness of a painter is a value to bring to the attention of everyone who loves true culture like us. To those who want to bring home a genuine memory of Rome, we propose our work as an alternative to all the tacky commercial painting that fills every wonderful square of this magnificent city....

Per questo crediamo che dipingere Roma adesso con coscienza vera di pittori sia un valore da proporre all'attenzione di tutte quelle persone che amano la cultura come noi. A coloro che vogliono gustare un assaggio autentico di Roma, proponiamo il nostro lavoro in alternativa a tutti i "souvenir" che invadono questa magnifica città.

The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum, Italian: Foro Romano) is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.

It was for centuries the center of Roman public life: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million sightseers yearly.

Page 10: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

Il Foro Romano (Forum Romanum, sebbene i Romani si riferissero a esso più spesso come Forum Magnum o semplicemente Forum) era situato nella valle compresa tra il Palatino e il Campidoglio e costituì il centro commerciale, religioso e politico della città di Roma.

Nel 2013 il circuito di Colosseo, Foro romano e Palatino è stato visitato da 5.625.219 persone, confermandosi il sito più visitato in Italia, per un introito lordo totale di 39.657.672 Euro.

Piazza Venezia is a major circus and the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which many thoroughfares intersect, like Via dei Fori Imperiali and Via del Corso. It takes its name from Venice ("Venezia" in Italian), after the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) who had built Palazzo Venezia, a palace set next to the nearby church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. Palazzo Venezia was the former embassy of the city of the Republic of Venice to Rome.

The piazza or square is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. The main artery, the Viale di Fori Imperiali starts there, leading past the Roman Forum and to the Colosseum. It is dominated by the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy. In 2009, during excavations for the Rome C Metro Line, ancient remains of what has been identified as emperor Hadrian's Athenaeum were unearthed in the middle of the square.

Page 21: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

Piazza Venezia è una celebre piazza di Roma. È situata ai piedi del Campidoglio, dove si incrociano alcune fra le più importanti strade del centro della capitale: via dei Fori Imperiali, via del Corso, via del Plebiscito.

L'aspetto attuale della piazza deriva largamente dagli interventi di demolizione e ricostruzione realizzati tra la fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del Novecento. Va ricordato in particolare il Vittoriano, costruito appunto a cavallo dei due secoli, colossale monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II (spesso erroneamente identificato con l'Altare della Patria, che in realtà ne è solo una parte).

Campo de' Fiori (meaning in English: Field of Flowers) is a rectangular square south of Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy, at the border between rione Parione and rione Regola. It is just diagonally southeast of the Palazzo della Cancelleria and one block northeast of the Palazzo Farnese. Campo de' Fiori, translated literally from Italian, means "field of flowers". The name was first given during the Middle Ages when the area was actually a meadow.

Executions used to be held publicly in Campo de' Fiori. Here, on 17 February 1600, the philosopher Giordano Bruno was burnt alive for heresy, and all of his works were placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by the Holy Office. In 1887, a monument to him on the exact spot of his death. The inscription on the base recites: A BRUNO - IL SECOLO DA LUI DIVINATO - QUI DOVE IL ROGO ARSE ("To Bruno - the century predicted by him - here where the fire burned").

Page 36: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

Fino al quattrocento la piazza non esisteva in quanto tale, e al suo posto vi era un prato fiorito con alcuni orti coltivati, da cui il nome. Secondo una leggenda, la piazza dovrebbe invece il suo nome a Flora (donna amata da Pompeo, il quale aveva costruito nei pressi il suo teatro).

In Campo de' Fiori avevano luogo le esecuzioni capitali e le punizioni con tratti di corda. Giovedì 17 febbraio 1600 vi fu arso vivo il filosofo e frate domenicano Giordano Bruno, accusato di eresia. In ricordo del filosofo, nel 1888 fu realizzato sul luogo stesso del rogo un monumento bronzeo, opera dallo scultore Ettore Ferrari.

St. Peter's Basilica (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri; Italian: Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano) is a Late Renaissance church located within Vatican City.

Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and remains one of the largest churches in the world. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the Catholic Roman Rite cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world” and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom”.

Page 55: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

La basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano (nome esatto completo papale basilica maggiore di San Pietro in Vaticano) è una basilica cattolica della Città del Vaticano, cui fa da coronamento la monumentale piazza San Pietro.

È la più grande delle quattro basiliche papali di Roma, spesso descritta come la più grande chiesa del mondo e centro del cattolicesimo.

La primitiva Basilica di San Pietro, un edificio di dimensioni paragonabili all’attuale, fu eretta intorno al 320 dall’imperatore Costantino nel luogo dove, secondo la tradizione, era stato sepolto l’apostolo Pietro. La cupola fu ideata da Michelangelo. Il colonnato del Bernini circonda la Basilica.

Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian) after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name.

The piazza lies inside the northern gate in the Aurelian Walls, once the Porta Flaminia of ancient Rome, and now called the Porta del Popolo. This was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, the road to Ariminum (modern-day Rimini) and the most important route to the north. At the same time, before the age of railroads, it was the traveller's first view of Rome upon arrival. For centuries, the Piazza del Popolo was a place for public executions, the last of which took place in 1826.

Page 62: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

“Il Babuino”, via Ripetta e via del Corso, le tre arterie principali del centro storico di Roma si incontrano a Piazza del Popolo. Rappresentazione del mecenatismo papale rinascimentale, antica sede di giochi, fiere, spettacoli popolari ed esecuzioni capitali. “Felici faustoque ingressui MDCLV” (“Per un ingresso felice e fausto“) è il messaggio inciso dal Bernini sulla Porta del Popolo (l’antica Porta Flaminia) in occasione dell’arrivo a Roma di Cristina di Svezia.A sinistra e a destra le due chiese gemelle Santa Maria di Montesanto e Santa Maria dei Miracoli, l’Obelisco Flaminio (il più antico e il secondo più alto di Roma), e le due fontane del Valadier.Ed, ancora, la chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo, costruita sul luogo di sepoltura dell’imperatore Nerone, e i locali commerciali adiacenti, divenuti ormai parte integrante della piazza e anticamente frequentati da personaggi cari alla storia di Roma come Trilussa, Guttuso e Pasolini fanno di Piazza del Popolo l’emblema culturale della “romanità”.

Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Pietro Bracci. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain has appeared in several notable films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, and is a popular tourist attraction.

Legend holds that in 19 BC thirsty Roman soldiers were guided by a young girl to a source of pure water thirteen kilometers from the city of Rome. The discovery of the source led Augustus to commission the construction of a twenty-two kilometer aqueduct leading into the city, which was named Aqua Virgo, or Virgin Waters, in honor of the legendary young girl. The aqueduct served the hot Baths of Agrippa, and Rome, for over four hundred years.

Page 77: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

La fontana in stile rococò fu iniziata da Nicola Salvi nel 1732 e completata nel 1762 da Giuseppe Pannini.

Alimentata da uno dei più antichi acquedotti romani, quello dell’Acqua Vergine, raffigura un Oceano su un cocchio a forma di conchiglia trainato da cavalli marini, guidati da tritoni.

E’ stata la splendida cornice di una scena del film di Fellini “La dolce vita” in cui Anita Ekberg avvolta in un vestito nero si bagna nelle acque della fontana chiamando Marcello Mastroianni.

Aventino is named for the hill which rises up near the Tiber river and is one of the legendary seven hills of Rome. Diagonally opposite at the end of Circus Maximus is the Celian Hill, another of the seven hills.This hill is important in the myths involved with the founding of Rome. The brothers, Romulus and Remus, each chose one of the area’s hills on which to found a city. Remus chose the Aventine Hill, but it was his brother Romulus (set up on the nearby Palatine Hill) who saw more signs (supposedly from the gods) and who goes on to found the city of Rome.

In Ancient Rome, the Aventine Hill was the site of a Temple of Diana, but today the hill is mainly a relatively quiet and wealthy residential district with a few churches and gardens worth checking out, plus one of the most interesting views of St. Peter’s Basilica you’ll see in Rome.

Page 90: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

L'Aventino è uno dei sette colli su cui venne fondata Roma, il più a sud. Si tratta di una collina di forma più o meno trapezoidale, dalle pendici ripide, che arriva a sfiorare il Tevere. Tra i sette colli era quello più isolato e di accesso più difficile.

Secondo le fonti antiche il nome potrebbe derivare da ab avibus per gli uccelli che vi si dirigevano dal Tevere per fornire gli auguri a Remo, oppure per l'avena che vi si coltivava e di cui si faceva commercio.

Grazie alla sua particolare posizione nei pressi del porto fluviale (Emporium), l'Aventino divenne sede di una nutrita colonia mercantile di stranieri.

La collina romana è ora una elegante zona residenziale con una vasta ricchezza di interesse architettonico.

Trastevere is the 13th rione of Rome, on the west bank of the Tiber, south of Vatican City. Its name comes from the Latin trans Tiberim, meaning literally "beyond the Tiber". The correct pronunciation is [trasˈteːvere], with the accent on the second syllable. Its logo is a golden head of a lion on a red background, the meaning of which is uncertain. To the north, Trastevere borders on to the XIV rione, Borgo.

During the Imperial Age of ancient Rome, several important figures built their villae in Trastevere, including Clodia, (Catullus' "friend") and Julius Caesar (his garden villa, the Horti Caesaris). The regio included two of the most ancient churches in Rome, the Titulus Callixti, later called the Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, and the Titulus Cecilae, Santa Cecilia in Trastevere.

Page 96: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

Il nome deriva dal latino trans Tiberim (al di là del Tevere), che era già il nome antico della regione augustea; questo perché la città ebbe origine e principale sviluppo invece nella opposta sponda. Si trova sulla riva ovest (destra) del fiume Tevere e a sud della Città del Vaticano.

Grazie al parziale isolamento (si trovava al di là del Tevere) e all'ambiente multiculturale gli abitanti di Trastevere, chiamati trasteverini, venivano a formare quasi una popolazione a sé stante. Gioachino Belli e a Trilussa, ai quali sono dedicate la due maggori piazze sono emblemi trasteverini.

Roma Termini (in Italian, Stazione Termini or Stazione di Roma Termini - Giovanni Paolo II) is the main railway station of Rome, Italy. It is named after the district of the same name, which in turn took its name from ancient Baths of Diocletian (in Latin, thermae), which lie across the street from the main entrance.

The Papal Archbasilica of St. John Lateran (Italian: Arcibasilica Papale di San Giovanni in Laterano), commonly known as St. John Lateran's Archbasilica, St. John Lateran's Basilica, and just The Lateran Basilica, is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of Rome, who is the Pope.

It is the oldest and ranks first among the four Papal Basilicas or major basilicas of Rome (having the cathedra of the Bishop of Rome), and the oldest and most important church in the West. It claims the title of ecumenical mother church among Roman Catholics.

Page 103: Urban Landscapes - Painting Rome

La stazione ferroviaria di Roma Termini costituisce il più importante scalo ferroviario della città di Roma, il maggiore d'Italia e il secondo d'Europa dopo Gare de Paris Nord per traffico passeggeri.

La piazza prende il nome dalla maestosa e bellissima basilica di S.Giovanni in Laterano (nella foto sopra la facciata con l'annesso Palazzo del Laterano a destra), situata sulla piazza di Porta S.Giovanni. La zona e la basilica devono il nome alla ricca e nobile famiglia dei Laterani che qui avevano le loro proprietà, poi confiscate, all'inizio del IV secolo, dall'imperatore Costantino, il quale vi si stabilì insieme alla moglie Fausta dopo la vittoria su Massenzio. Sorse così un complesso di edifici che costituivano un vero e proprio borgo, denominato "Campus Lateranensis", esteso dalla odierna basilica fino all'attuale zona della Scala Santa: un dedalo di viuzze, aule, cappelle, archi, triclini, dove il papa, durante le solennità religiose, riuniva il clero e le rappresentanze popolari.
