Castel Sant'Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel)

Highlight • Castle

Castel Sant'Angelo is a monument of Rome located on the right bank of the Tiber in front of the homonymous bridge. The origins of Castel Sant'Angelo date back to 135 AD, when the emperor Hadrian commissioned the architect Demetriano to build a funeral mausoleum for himself and his family. In the following centuries up to the present day, the castle lost its function as a sepulcher and was subject to radical changes which gave it its current appearance. Today Castel Sant'Angelo is state property of the Italian State and is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the "passetto".

Altar of the Fatherland

Highlight • Monument

The Altare della Patria was built following a decision by the Italian Parliament to dedicate a national monument to the recently deceased king Vittorio Emanuele II (1878). After announcing two international competitions (1880 and 1882), the project presented by Giuseppe Sacconi was chosen. The young architect from the Marches, on the model of the great sanctuaries of the classical age, had conceived the space as a scenic representation that celebrated the Italian Risorgimento in the center of imperial Rome.

In 1878 the Italian Parliament decided to dedicate a national monument to the recently deceased sovereign Vittorio Emanuele II.
After two international competitions (1880 and 1882), the project presented by Giuseppe Sacconi was chosen. The young architect from the Marche region, following the model of the great sanctuaries of the classical era, had conceived the space as a scenic representation celebrating the Italian Risorgimento in the center of imperial Rome.

The architectural structure of the monument was developed as an ideal ascending path that, through the stairs and terraces, enriched by the various sculptural groups and bas-reliefs of the central Altar of the Homeland, would rise to the side temples and from these to the grandiose crowned columned portico. by bronze chariots, allegories of the Unity of the Homeland and Freedom.

Piazza del Popolo

Highlight • Monument

Everyone in Rome knows Piazza Del Popolo but few are aware of a particular acoustic effect. In this square, where thousands of tourists and Romans pass every day, two people can easily talk from one side of the square to the other without screaming.
