Katarina Marcek Chcete spoznať Rím z prvej ruky? Navštíviť miesta, vidieť veci, ktorí vám nič a nikto iný nesprostredkujú? Tak ste na správnej adrese. Ako veľmi sa mýlia.

Milujem prechádzať sa po Ríme a ukazovať toto meniace sa mesto z iných perspektív. Len škoda, že väčšina ľudí má záujem, či čas len na tie klasické miesta a hlavne si myslí, že ich návštevou si odfajkli Rím v zozname povinných výletov. V Ríme je totižto omnoho viacej na odhaľovanie a poznávanie.

Some corners of the historic center of are incredibly left off the pedestrian routes of tourists; yet they are there, crushed between a well-lived noble palace and the looming presence of the most photographed ancient Rome. This is also the case of Piazza Margana, in the very central Rione Campitelli, which bears in its name the memory of the powerful Margani family of Medieval Rome; the atmosphere of the period can still be felt when arriving in the square from via della Tribuna di Tor de' Specchi, which is none other than one of the streets that branch off from the more famous via del Teatro di Marcello.

This is how remembered this evocative glimpse of Rome in his Journey to Italy. "In the evening we went to the gardens, pleasant green spaces that fill the spaces between the ruins of the Palaces of the Caesars. There, on a large terrace open to the public, surrounded by stupendous trees under which fragments of sculpted capitals were scattered, we enjoyed the charm of the hour to our heart's content." A walk, mentioned several times in various Grand Tour notebooks, which today will be possible again.
The entire complex was designed for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, nephew of Paul III, starting from 1537, and subsequently enriched by family members until the wedding between Odoardo Farnese and Margherita de' Medici in 1628, when Cardinal Alessandro's dream came to full fruition: creating a place suspended in time between imperial memories and dynastic-family celebrations, a space for leisure and beauty, nature and art, inspired by the memory of the ancient Roman .

The cell of the Temple of Peace is paved in large-format opus sectile with a pattern made up of rectangular pavonazzetto slabs that form a lattice, inside which squares in yellow antique are inserted; each of them contains a large circular slab made alternately of Pavonazzetto marble, granite and red porphyry.
The marble floor was restored in the Severan era, after the fire of 191 AD, and presents a technical/executive device typical of this period: the large-format slabs, no longer able to be obtained due to a lack of large marble blocks, were composed by combining several elements sawn and connected with camouflage zig-zag joints in order to hide the cuts.

The floor of tabernae, discovered in 1899, is an example of late antique opus sectile (6th century AD) made with reused marble, both white, veined and written, and colored, including Greek green porphyry, red porphyry and ancient yellow. The complex geometric design, which develops octagonal, rhomboidal and square motifs, was restored at the beginning of the 1900s by Giacomo Boni with a cutting-edge system that re-proposes the missing parts with the use of brick tiles of at least two different color shades.

The vicus ad Carinae was among the oldest routes in Rome: since the Republican age it connected the “delle Carine” neighborhood on the Esquiline hill (one of the most populous areas of Rome) with the Forum, crossing from the 4th century AD. the Via Sacra between the so-called Temple of Romulus and the Basilica of Maxentius. Subject to route changes as the city grows, it remained in use throughout antiquity. The current route follows the Neronian fire of 64 AD and to construction in 75 AD. of the templum Pacis, later the Forum of Peace. The architects who in the 4th century AD. they designed the Basilica of Maxentius did not interrupt the road, but they incorporated it through a tunnel built in the northern corner of the new building.
From the Flavian age (69-96 AD) and up to the construction of the Basilica, along the vicus there was a succession of tabernae (shops and warehouses), of which they are preserved some remains.
In the Middle Ages the street, rearranged several times due to continuous wear, was an impervious cobbled road that served the basilica of SS. Cosma and Damiano, built in the VI century AD in the Peace Forum. Part of the vicus was also used as a connected cemetery to the nearby basilica.

The woman's head is portrayed in profile and is characterized by a refined hairstyle, typical of 15th century courtly fashion, which leaves the forehead uncovered and the hair gathered with blue ribbons. The painting is traditionally linked to the name of Pisanello, although the decorative cycle of origin remains uncertain. Initially it was considered a fragment detached from the Arthurian chivalric cycle of the Ducal Palace of Mantua, above all by virtue of some physiognomic similarities with one of the ladies of the tournament scene. Another hypothesis compares it to the pictorial cycle of San Giovanni in Laterano with stories of the Baptist, destroyed during Borromini's interventions for the jubilee of 1650, on which Pisanello worked between 1431 and 1432, called to replace Gentile da Fabriano (†1427).

This large of the comes from one of the two large semicircular exedras of the vast side courtyards, where the polychrome tiles designed various boxes, alternately rectangular (with whole figures) and square (with busts), framed by a braid and dentil motif. We don't have the entire surface, but the remains are still very abundant. The subjects are victorious athletes and referees (in robes, holding prizes or the sticks that symbolize their role). The athletes in particular are naked and hold in their hands the attributes of their sporting specialty (disc, pankration, etc.) or the prizes won (palms, crowns, etc.). Sometimes the name is written above the heads of the characters. The athletic figures are represented in a realistic way, highlighting the powerful muscles, even the heads are true portraits, rendered with effective physiognomic features, with angular and brutal features, large eyes, intense expressiveness. The hair is shaved or tufted. The most used colors are predominantly brown or reddish-brown tones, with violent contrasts that underline the expressiveness of the figures.
