ETERNAL TERRACES

Let's discover together the most beautiful places where you can go to admire the city from above

TEXT Gabrielle Bolzoni PHOTO Valentina Stefanelli

Rome is the cradle of world history, and much of its ancient beauty still remains today. There’s so much to see and do that, even if you live here, you have the feeling you’ll never really know the city, because it has a thousand faces and it never fails to surprise.

Among the classic tourist draws there are magical places which are completely unexpected and can be visited dozens of times without ever tiring of them. These are Rome’s classic terraces, designated as panoramic viewpoints, which overlook the city and for centuries have regaled those who linger here with spectacular views and deep emotions. A feeling of continuity between past and present and the illusion, for a moment, of grasping that sense of the infinite that only exists in the Eternal City.

Trinità dei Monti stands at the top of the famous Spanish Steps, overlooking the picturesque Piazza di Spagna and the straight line of the ancient Via Trinitatis, which linked the square to the Tiber. To join the heights of the Pincian Hill with the lower level, in 1723 construction began on a Baroque staircase with two converging flights, whose arrangement of projections and indentations had been sketched by Bernini in the mid-17th century.

The scene had been dominated since the 16th century by the church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti, with its symmetrical pair of great bell towers, whose story began in 1494 when Charles VIII, king of France, bought a vineyard on the site in order to build a monastery to house monks of the Minimite Order. Following the Sack of Rome in 1527, the complex was extended with a fres-

coed cloister and a wellstocked scientific library. At the centre of the terrace, an obelisk has stood since 1789. From here, it’s a short walk to the Pincian Hill, past the magnificent Villa Medici, home to the French Academy in Rome.

The Pincio Terrace at the top of the eponymous hill, which overlooks Piazza del Popolo and is crowned by Villa Borghese, today remains the historic walk that’s closest to Roman hearts. From late Antiquity to the end of the 18th century, many noble familiesincluding the 14th-century Pincii, afer whom the hill is named - owned vineyards and vegetable gardens in this area. In the late 18th century, architect Giuseppe Valadier proposed a plan for improving the area and the creation of a park which would bring relief to the Roman citizens - for centuries crowded along the banks of the Tiber -

and glory to the emperor. The present-day Piazza del Popolo was built on Napoleon’s orders in 1816 and connected by ramps and terraces to the Pincian Hill, which became Rome’s first public garden. The enormous panoramic terrace, dedicated to Napoleon, offers spectacular views over the magnificent skyline. It is famous for its 229 classical busts, its Water Clock and its ancient obelisk, and there’s a pleasant café in Casina Valadier.

The Janiculum is a smaller hill above Trastevere on the right bank of the Tiber, and it’s a lovely place for a walk.

In 1849 this was the scene of a batle between Garibaldi - who is remembered with a grandiose equestrian statue in bronze - and the French troops who sought to occupy Rome.

Today’s visitors can admire the monumental Acqua Paola fountain, built in the 17th century at the

end of an ancient Roman aqueduct; the Manfredi lighthouse, constructed in 1911 as a gif from Italian immigrants to Argentina; and the church of San Pietro in Montorio. From the viewpoint overlooking the city centre, the peaks of the central-western Apennines can be seen in the distance. The famous San Carlino Theatre stages puppet shows for young children. The Savello Park lies on the Aventine Hill, and has been renamed the Orange Trees Garden for the large number of biter orange trees planted here in commemoration of S. Domenico, who founded a convent here. In 1300 the Savelli family built their own castle on the site, surrounded by thick medieval walls, which can still be seen today.

Since 1932 the area has been home to a small garden, rectangular and symmetrical, designed by architect Raffaele De Vico with the

Below:TheOrangeTreesGarden

aim of enhancing the space and creating a new scenic terrace for Rome. From here the view is magnificent, extending from the curve of the Tiber to St Peter’s Basilica. Leaving the Orange Trees Garden and turning right, you come to Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, designed in 1765 by the well-known architect and engraver Giovan Batista Piranesi. Here, if you peep through the keyhole of the door to the Priory of the Knights of Malta, you can see the dome of St Peter’s framed by the hedges of the garden. The Campidoglio lies at the top of the Capitoline Hill and is reached via a

monumental staircase. The square was designed by Michelangelo, and for centuries this was the political and religious heart of the capital. Today the top of the Arx is occupied by the splendid church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli. Although in Roman times the main monuments on the Campidoglio faced the Forum, since the Middle Ages the views have been towards the Campus Martius. The late 15th century saw the establishment of the Musei Capitolini, the world’s oldest public museum, whose She-Wolf was to become the symbol of the city. The square centres

on a massive equestrian statue in bronze of Marcus Aurelius. Michelangelo’s design was completed in 1940 with the laying of the beautiful star-paterned paving and the creation of an underground tunnel linking the three palaces that face onto the square. On the south-west side of the Campidoglio, on the top floor of the magnificent 16th-century palace that houses a wing of the museum, is Terrazza Caffarelli, an exclusive and elegant venue with a modern cafeteria. Its fabulous views of Rome’s artistic and architectural marvels are postcard-perfect.

THANKS TO THE AUDITORIUM, THE A CULTURAL PLACE TO BE MAXXI MUSEUM, THE GNAM

The Flaminio district is a very residential and quiet area of Rome, but also full of hidden gems, and day afer day it grows in terms of redevelopment. It is now a cultural atraction, thanks to the Auditorium, the MAXXI Museum, the Gnam (National Modern Art Gallery), but also the nerve center of sports entertainment, the Olympic Stadium, the Flaminio Stadium and the Foro Italico.

The Flaminio is the first district of the capital and owes its name to the consular road that passes through it, a long straight throughway

that goes as far as Ponte Milvio. And if until the end of the nineteenth century this long straight road was a flat expanse of fields that periodically flooded due to the river’s flooding, in later years, thanks to the redevelopment of the area around the Tiber, the district has undergone some major development and seen many of the city’s meeting places established, including the many Sport Clubs along the banks of the river that contributed to the area’s rebirth. These Circoli or clubs - almost all beginning as rowing clubs - are, in fact, an exceptional space for

many athletes who get together to practice different disciplines. The Flaminio district goes from Villa Borghese to Ponte Milvio and, walking quickly through one of most beautiful historical villas in the city you can admire the Temple of Aesculapius, the Casina delle Rose with the Casa del Cinema, the Biopark and the Globe Theater, made of wood and modelled on the theater where Shakespeare performed. Once past Villa Borghese we find Via di Villa Giulia, the entry road built by Pope Julius III for his summer residence of the same name. Today the

Villa houses the National Etruscan Museum and several collections of southern Etruria. On the same street is Gnam, the National Modern Art Gallery which has just been refurbished, totally changing its appearance. Gnam now has a central part and two side courtyard gardens, while the exhibition rooms, completely white, highlight the exhibited works and accentuate the light entering from the big windows. In addition to the permanent collection, there are also temporary exhibitions.

The period of change for the Flaminio came with the end of the Second World War and Rome being awarded the hosting of the 1960 Olympic Games, which opened a period of profound urban transformation in the neighborhood with the construction of Olympic village and subsequently the Auditorium and MAXXI.

The Auditorium Parco della Musica, designed by Renzo Piano in 1994, is a multifunctional complex with three “acoustic planes”. The Auditorium, designed for performances and concerts, can seat around 3000 people while the MAXXI (Museum of XXI Century Arts), designed by architect Zaha Hadid and opened in 2010, houses permanent collections and exhibitions and is the classic example of a modern structure capable of integrating with the history that surrounds it. Characterized by a series of galleries that filter natural light inside the rooms, the MAXXI is more than anything an experimental space. Another innovation in the neighborhood was the Armando Trovajoli Bridge of Music, opened in 2011. The Bridge, reserved for the use of pedestrians and cyclists, crosses the Tiber between

IlariaImperoli

When walking on Ponte della Musica bridge you can admire the Madonna Salus Populi Romani, a huge golden sculpture located on the top of Montemario hill.

The statue is a work of the sculptor Arrigo Minerbi and is a gesture of the gratitude of the Roman people to their Protectress for the liberation of the city in 1944.

the Flaminio and Della Vittoria neighborhoods and connects the MAXXI with the sports complex of the Foro Italico. In this redevelopment of the whole area, many new venues have opened up, making the area increasingly atractive and fashionable. Finally, afer the modern bridge of music, we come to Ponte Milvio, the ancient Roman bridge now mainly known as the Bridge of Lovers because of the padlocks that young couples wrap around the street lights as a promise of eternal love. The Italian movie Ho voglia di te (2007), writen by Federico Moccia

and directed by Luis Prieto, even launched the trend of puting padlocks with

THE AUDITORIUM PARCO DELLA MUSICA, DEIGNED BY RENZO PIANO, IS A FLEXIBLE COMPLEX WITH THREE ‘ACOUSTIC PLANES’

the initials of a person and his/her significant other atached to the bridge as a

sign of everlasting love. The most popular movie that sets a scene on Ponte Milvio is probably Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo (2004), directed by Luca Lucini. The two protagonists of the movie also put padlocks on the bridge!

The padlocks get removed every now and then though to prevent the damage of Ponte Milvio’s historical look. It was built along the route of the Via Flaminia Cassia as a necessary way north and the Romans still call it Mollo bridge because, when the Tiber is full, it is the first bridge to be submerged. It was built in 109

B.C. by the Censor Marco Emilio Scauro and, despite being built “extra urbem”, that is outside the city walls, it has always played a decisive role by virtue of its strategic position among the important Flaminia consular roads, Cassia, Clodia and Veientana. In 1805, Pope Pius VII commissioned new restoration works to the great architect Giuseppe Valadier who designed the reorganization, replacing the drawbridges and building a fortified door at the north of the bridge: the famous tower in neoclassical style, today known as Torreta Valadier. Ponte Milvio was restored and changed

multiple times throughout the centuries because it was ofen damaged, sometimes

intentionally, to protect the city from atacks. For in-

stance, in 1850, Giuseppe Garibaldi’s army destroyed parts of the bridge to stop the French invasion. Nowadays Ponte Milvio is one of the most romantic areas for tourists and locals as well, having been the protagonist of many romantic scenes in movies. So it has become an institution for Roman nightlife and it is here that new atractive nightspots pop up at a fast pace. Many young people flock here for a drink, a snack or an actual dinner. On Sundays, the bridge is known for the flea market held there, with more than 200 stands of items and crafs.

Right through to the most important collection of Italian art from the 1920s to the 1940s, including the Novecento movement and the Scuola Romana.

The incredible and majestic building was erected for the 1911 International Exhibition of Art, and designed by the architect Cesare Bazzani.

SHOWCASES EXPERIMENTATION STUNNING ARCHITECTURES

AND INNOVATION

MACRO

MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome - is part of the city’s urban redevelopment with a focus on contemporary art. It is a magnificent example of the fusion of industrial and contemporary architecture, in which situations, exhibitions and projects live side by side. There are valuable pieces from the 20th century, first and foremost the bust of a woman given to the city in 1913 by Auguste Rodin. MACRO has two sites; the first is the former Peroni factory, designed in the early 20th century by Gustavo Giovannoni, one of Rome’s few examples of

industrial archeology and home to Società Birra Peroni until 1971.

The initial stage of restructuring was completed in 1999 with the restoration of the main complex, consisting of two parallel factory buildings connected by a new entrance block.

The redevelopment was awarded to Odile Decq’s Territori Sensuali project following an international competition held by the Municipality of Rome in 2000. The museum’s second site consists of the two buildings of a former Testaccio slaughterhouse, constructed between 1888 and 1891 to a design by the architect Gioacchino Ersoch.

MATTATOIO

In the rione of Testaccio, once known for its slaughterhouses, the Matatoio is another redeveloped industrial space hosting installations and contemporary art exhibitions.

MAXXI

Occupying an area of 29,000 square metres in the Flaminio neighbourhood, MAXXI - Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo was designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, and is Italy’s most important museum of contemporary art and architecture.

It produces and hosts exhibitions of art and architecture, design, photog-

raphy and fashion events and film festivals.

The museum is built on the site of the former Montello military barracks, near Renzo Piano’s Auditorium Parco della Musica. Inside are spaces devoted to international avant-garde movements and Italy’s first museum of contemporary architecture.

Exhibitions include works by Boeti, De Dominicis, Kapoor, Richter, Catelan, Beecrof and Arienti.

Inaugurated in 2016, La Nuvola is the masterpiece of architect Massimiliano Fuksas and a work of extraordinary artistic value in terms of innovative solutions, eco-friendly approach and technologically advanced materials.

La Nuvola is spread over three floors and can accommodate a total of 8,000 visitors in its conference halls, exhibition spaces and auditorium.

PALAZZO DELLE ESPOSIZIONI

The largest exhibition and cultural space in central Rome is a magnificent white palace in Via Nazionale.

MACRO

A remarkable example of late-19th-century Neoclassical style, the building, with its impressive facade but lacking side entrances, was erected for grand international events, and today is the home of exhibitions and, in particular, the Rome Quadriennale. Inside is a large conservatory as well as a cinema, an auditorium, a cafeteria and a bookshop.

Over the years, the building on Via Nazionale, originally designed by Piacentini, has undergone several and important reforms, that have made it even more beautiful.

ETERNAL ART

A journey into the most surprising art expressions in Rome

TEXT Giulia Romagnani

Confluence, interference and turbulence” - this is what the design of the MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Art - should inspire in those who look at this building according to Zaha Hadid - the Iraqi-British visionary and revolutionary architect, designer and artist who signed the project of this extraordinary museum in Rome. Movement is the guideline of the entire building, which boggles visitors’ mind with the fluidity of both the external and internal spaces. Overlapping stairs, twisted hallways, sof curves, exhibition rooms that welcome and amaze.

The MAXXI design goes beyond the concept of the building-museum, sublimating it: the MAXXI is not

just an art space but it is an expression of art itself, where visitors can follow their own, personal path.

The construction of this cuting-edge project, also aimed to redevelop the former industrial area of Flaminio district, started in 1998 and finished only in 2010, with the official inauguration in May.

In terms of art, the MAXXI hosts three different collections. The Art Collection counts over 400 works of Italian and foreign artists of the last four decades of the 20th century; the Architecture Collection boasts a well-stocked archive containing projects by architects and engineers operating from the beginning of the last century until today; the Photography Collection - opened in 2003 - gathers

over two thousands art photographs. This large quantity of art material offers a multiple and wide-ranging look on the contemporary world and is frequently enriched by temporary exhibitions and events aimed at involving an increasing audience.

Also on view until May 26 is the exhibition AALTOAino Alvar Elissa. The Human Dimension of Design and Jannis Kounellis. Night.

As concierges, recommending the Maxxi means encouraging the knowledge of a lesser-known side of Rome. The Eternal City owes much of its charm to its ruins and ancient beauties but it can also be a forward-looking metropolis, focused on the most recent artistic and intellectual trends.

TWO INSULE, THE NAME FOR CASE DEL CELIO. THESE ARE

WORKING-CLASS HOUSING BUILDINGS

Everything that once shone in the sunlight, the pride of a few and the envy of many, is swallowed by centuries of history, concealing the evidence of a civilisation whose greatness continues to astonish.

Sometimes due to the stubbornness of an archaeologist, ofen by mere chance and, more recently, thanks to impressive excavations, this world is re-emerging from the depths. In fact, although the Domus Neroniana has been famous since the late 15th century - but only as an extraordinary frescoed groto - it is only in the 19th century that we

began to learn about the multitude of people and objects recorded in the history of the world’s first mega-city.

Indeed, the 19th century saw the discovery of the Case del Celio. These are two insule, the name for working-class housing buildings consisting of several storeys of ofen crumbling apartments, as described by the detective Marcus Didius Falco, in the service of Vespasian and penned by the wonderful Lindsey Davis. He lived on the sixth floor - very common at the time - of a block of apartments built for rental. Just as the ones in

Celio must have been, beyond the Palatine Hill. As always happens, the more the city grew, the more the poorer residents were relegated to the outskirts.

The same goes for the crowded neighbourhood which, in the course of the 3rd century, was partially bought up and redeveloped by an aristocratic family. And when friars at the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, which stands among the tangle of homes and shops along Via del Clivio di Scauro, began to excavate beneath the small chamber of relics in search of the house where,

Below: Case del Celio

OneofthetwolargeresidencesunderPalazzoValentini

according to legend, Saints John and Paul were buried, they found a vast domus of 20 rooms, 13 of which contained beautiful frescoes. From insula to domus and then church: Paganism had passed the baton to Christianity. Today this stratification is clearly visible in the workshops on street level, the multi-storey housing, the domus and the church, all concealed beneath the hill that stands between the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum (prenotazioni@coopcultura.it)

Meanwhile, a much more recent discovery is the two large residences under Palazzo Valentini at Via Foro

Traiano 84, which is not only the headquarters of the provincial and prefectural administration of the city, but also a spectacular museum that uses multimedia technology to take visitors into the very guts of Imperial Rome. Since 2005 the two houses have slowly re-emerged, complete with sumptuous frescoes and mosaics. The first dates back to the year 125 AD and the other to 180 AD; both were refurbished in the 4th century, when the exquisite mosaic floors were added. The exhibit occupies several storeys and is enhanced by a visual reconstruction of rooms

missing or otherwise hard to envisage, and by a large collection of items that tell us a lot about the splendour of the Roman Empire (advance booking advised: infocivita@tosc.it +39 0687165343).

In 2001, when the redevelopment of the former Cinema Trevi began, the ancient site of Vicus Caprarius - beter known as the City of Water - emerged; It’s a vast residential complex from the Imperial age featuring an insula and a noble residence, but also the engineering genius of the Castellum Aque which stored water from the Acqua Virgo aqueduct that fed the

Trevi Fountain. The route winds nine metres below the level of the square; its strata speaking of the most flourishing period of the Roman Empire, from Nero’s great fire to the Barbarian invasions. This is where the famous head of Alexander Helios was discovered, along with tapered African amphorae used to transport olive oil.

But perhaps the most intriguing thing in the vast area - over 350 square metres - between Via San Vincenzo and the entrance to the museum in Vicolo del Putarello is the great stone-built reservoir with its lead piping and setling

CAPRARIUS IS BETTER KNOWN THE ANCIENT SITE OF VICUS AS THE CITY OF WATER

tanks. (Booking required for weekends and holidays: +39 3397786192). Most ancient of all, but only recently discovered, is the Domus of Vicus Tuscus, sadly it is not yet open to visitors. In fact, the first finds date back to 2018, but the reconstruction of the luxurious late-Republican era home was only completed in the final months of 2023. The residence lies between the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill in an area used in the Augustan period for the Horrea Agrippina, large warehouses along the Vicus Tuscus, an important artery that connected the Forum with the Tiber river port. The domus

has several storeys and is thought to have been built in three distinct phases between the mid-2nd century BC and the 1st century AD. It had an atrium, a garden and a banquet room, as well as a groto used to shelter from the summer heat. In the walls here, archeologists found a network of lead tubes which probably fed spectacular fountains. But what makes this place really special is the rustic mosaics covering the walls, made using tesserae of the most varied materials, from coloured glass to marble and pozzolana. Are you ready to dive into this fascinating underground world?

CATACOMBS

These underground cemeteries carved into tuff rock were decorated with Christian symbols and located, for reasons of hygiene, outside the city walls.

The most evocative, near the Appian Way, are the catacombs of Domitilla, Lucilla, Callixtus, St. Sebastian and the Ardeatine.

CIRCO MASSIMO

A portion of the area gives us an idea of the original purpose of this stadium, 120 metres wide and 620 metres long, likely the largest structure ever built to stage spectacles and able to seat 250,000 people. It was used for horse races and a market. This is also where the Rape of the Sabine Women occurred. Today, it is a popular place for hosting large events.

PALACES

Many palaces are still inhabited by the same families who built them centuries ago, while others have become museums, embassies, government offices. But all of them are tied to the fortunes of popes who rebuilt the city beginning in the 15th century.

From the Visconti to the Orsini, the Corsini to the Colonna to the Borgia, Piccolomini, Della Rovere, Farnese, Medici, Carafa, Borghese, Barberini, Pamphilj, Chigi and Rospigliosi, each family lef an enduring mark on the city. There’s Palazzo Doria Pamphilj on the busy via del Corso, decorated in the Baroque style and vaunting loggias and courtyards elegantly frescoed. Palazzo Spada in piazza Capodiferro

is also impressive. Cardinal Bernardino commissioned its construction by Borromini, the man behind the famous Galleria Prospetica. Since 1927, the building has housed the Council of State. Palazzo Farnese is nearby, in the homonymous piazza decorated with two Egyptian, granite tubs from the Baths of Caracalla. The palazzo, granted to France in 1939 for 99 years, it now serves as the French embassy and is open to the public on July 14. Palazzo Chigi in piazza Colonna was instead intended as a place to host elite parties. Bought by the Chigi family in the mid-17th century, it became the seat of the Austrian embassy in 1917, followed by the headquarters of the Ministry of the Colonies under Mussolini, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, lastly, the Council of Ministers

since 1961. The nearby Palazzo Montecitorio has been the seat of the Chamber of Deputies since 1870. Palazzo Madama is seat of the Italian Senate since 1871, it was the Medici’s Roman residence until Cardinal Ferdinando bought Villa Medici on the Pincian Hill.

The villa is currently home to the French Academy in Rome. Palazzo del Quirinale was a papal residence and since 1946 it has been the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic. The Versailles-style 18th-century Palazzo Colonna is nearby, in piazza Santi Apostoli. Assigned to the university by Pope Eugene IV, the Renaissance Palazzo della Sapienza was later modified by Francesco Borromini, who added the Church of Sant’Ivo. The building houses the State Archives today.
