Book excerpt: Nestled in a small piazza in the heart of Rome, Italy, is a spectacular fountain that is a masterpiece of both art and engineering. The Baroque-style Trevi Fountain is presented like a theater stage with mythical gods and creatures playing in the cascading waters. But the true wonder of the Trevi Fountain is the pre-industrial engineering which brought water from over hills and through valleys from many miles outside the city to the fountain-using just gravity. How did the Roman engineers pull off this amazing feat? Find out inside! Book jacket.

Download or read book Hadrian's Villa and Its Legacy written by William Lloyd MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Villa constructed by the Emperor Hadrian near Tivoli between A.D. 118 and the 130s is one of the most original monuments in the history of architecture and art. The inspiration for major developments in villa and landscape design from the Renaissance onward, it also influenced such eminent twentieth-century architects as Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn. In this beautiful book, two distinguished architectural historians describe and interpret the Villa as it existed in Roman times and track its extraordinary effect on architects and artists up to the present day. William L. MacDonald and John A. Pinto begin by evaluating the numerous buildings composing the complex, and then describe the art, decorated surfaces, gardens, waterworks, and life at the Villa. The authors then turn to the ways the Villa influenced writers, artists, architects, and landscape designers from the fifteenth century to the present. They discuss, for example, Piranesi's archaeological, architectural, and graphic Villa studies in the eighteenth century; connections between Hadrian's Villa and the English landscape garden; the array of European verbal and artistic depictions of the Villa; and architectural studies of the Villa by twentieth-century Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City of the Soul critically examines how an international cast of visitors fashioned Rome's image, visual and literary, in the century between 1770 and 1870 - from the era of the Grand Tour to the onset of mass tourism. The Eternal City emerges not only as an intensely physical place but also as a romantic idea onto which artists and writers projected their own imaginations and longings.

It will also attract the interest of historians of urbanism, landscape, and Italy. Nonspecialists and armchair travelers will enjoy the diverse literary and artistic responses to Rome.

Download or read book The Seven Hills of Rome written by Grant Heiken and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings, Rome became perhaps the greatest intercontinental power in the world. Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city. This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework. If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation.

Book excerpt: Learn about the history of the Trevi Fountain in Rome with iMinds Travel's insightful fast knowledge series. Rome is a city of fountains. As you wind your way down narrow lanes and through busy streets, you are sure to pass many a piazza graced with a fountain spread out before you. These unique works of architecture couple grandiose designs with the refreshing presence of cascading water. For those who have visited Rome, it may not surprise you to learn that there are in fact an impressive 280 fountains in the Eternal City. And the most famous of all is the Trevi Fountain. The name 'Trevi' comes from the words 'tre vie', which means 'three roads' in Italian, as it stands at the intersection of three Roman streets. Located in the Quirinale district and is often touted as one of Rome's "must-see" landmarks. Standing at 26 metres, or 85 feet, high and spanning 20 metres, or 65 feet, the Trevi Fountain is also the largest baroque fountain in the city. Its melange of marble, stone and flowing water beguile Romans and tourists alike. But did you know the water comes from one of the city's earliest aqueducts? Ancient reports tell us that a young virgin discovered the spring in the late first century BC. Upon its discovery, the Roman statesman Agrippa had the Acqua Virgine aqueduct constructed in 19BC. This aqueduct brings the water all the way from the Salone Springs, which are about 20 kilometres, or twelve and a half miles, from Rome. They provide water not only for the Trevi, but for all of the fountains in the historic centre of Rome. iMinds will tell you the story behind the place with its innovative travel series, transporting the armchair traveller or getting you in the mood for discover on route to your destination. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with short information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
