Guidebook for Roma
Sightseeing
A direct connection to Trastevere with a postcard background in which you can see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, is created by Ponte Sisto, built by Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere (1471-1484), on the occasion of the Jubilee of 1475, to allow direct communication between the Trastevere quarter (and the Vatican) and the rest of the city.
The bridge consists of four arches covered in travertine marble. It has a central circular opening and is decorated by five marble papal coat of arms. The problem of the identification of the author of the project remains unsolved, with the attribution of Vasari to the Florentine architect Baccio Pontelli (c.1450-1492) having been disproved by that the fact that he arrived in Rome only after it was built.
After the unification of Italy, due to the growing needs of traffic, in 1877, it was decided to increase a section of the bridge by adding two metal walkways suspended on corbels designed by Angelo Vescovali (1826-1895). These walkways, made of soft cast iron, together with the innermost support structure, have deteriorated increasingly over time, without the possibility to carry out the necessary maintenance due to the way they were constructed.

Designed and built to mark the terminus of the Trajan Aqueduct, between 1610 and 1614, by architects Giovanni Fontana (1540-1614) and Flaminio Ponzio (1560-1613) and Ippolito Buzio(1562-1634), sculptor, the fountain was commonly known as the Janiculum Fountain because it dominates the large terrace there that overlooks the city. It was commissioned by Pope Paul V of the Borghese family and it is their emblems – dragons and eagles – that can be seen in several places around the fountain itself.
It comprises five archways flanked by columns and topped with a large pediment complete with dedicatory inscription. White and multi-coloured marble stripped from the Roman Forum and the Temple of Minerva in the Forum of Nerva was used for the decorative elements of the fountains, whilst its red and grey columns used to be part of the St. Peter’s Basilica dating to the Constantine era.
Towards the end of the 17th century, the architect Carlo Fontana (1638-1714) altered the fountain’s facade into what it is today and a monumental semi-circular marble basin was added, substituting the five original basins located between the arches.

Legend has it that the Tiber Island was formed, to say the least, in a rather curious manner: the angry Romans, after having overthrown in a popular uprising the reviled tyrant Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, threw his wheat and grain into the Tiber. The accumulation of mud around it is said to have gradually lead to the forming of the island. In truth tuff rock, rather like that near the Capitoline Hill, compacted forming the natural geological foundation for the sand, dragged here by the river’s current, to rest.
The island has also been traditionally associated through the centuries with the healing of the sick. In fact, it is often also called the Stone Ship, an indirect reference to this very association. In 291 B.C., a terrible plague swept through the city of Rome, wiping out much of its population. The priests, after having consulted the Sybilline books, despatched a delegation on a ship to Epidaurus, a small city in ancient Greece and site of a sanctuary to Aesculapius, to bring back a statue of this God of Medicine and Healing. The ambassadors returned bringing with them a serpent, an animal closely associated and dear to the God.
On approaching the Tiber Island, according to the Roman Poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses, the serpent jumped ship and swam to the islet. Believing this was an incarnation of the God himself, a temple to Aesculapius was erected just where the serpent landed and the island was carved into the shape of a ship as a tribute to the occasion. Today the Aesculapius temple lies under the Church of San Bartelomeo, a new basilica constructed by the Emperor Otto III in 998. In 1582, the Spanish monks of the Order of St. John Calibytis founded a hospital which is still fully operational today and whose name "Fatebenefratelli" derives from the litany which these prelates used to sing as darkness fell on leaving to collect alms.

The Garibaldi Ossuary Mausoleum is on the Janiculum hill in the small suburb known as Colle del Pino, where between April 30th and the first days of July of 1849, the last courageous defense of the Roman Republic led by Giuseppe Garibaldi was proclaimed on February 9 of the same year.
Designed by Giovanni Jacobucci (1895-1970) and solemnly opened on November 3, 1941, after two years of construction, the Mausoleum contains the remains of those killed in the battles for Roma Capitale from 1849 to 1870.

Located at Via della Lungara no. 230, is the Villa della Farnesina, originally built as the private residence of banker Agostino Chigi between 1505 and 1520, following the design of Baldassarre Peruzzi. It later changed hands to the Farnese family in 1590.
The very wealthy Mr. Chigi used the complex to host lavish receptions and banquets. He would have his guests throw silver platters into the Tiber River and his servants would later fetch them out with nets that had been hidden underwater.
After the splendid life of Agostino, and then being used as a Landsknechte camp during the Sack of Rome, the villa was purchased by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in the late 1500s. The name of Farnesina was given to this villa to distinguish it from Palazzo Farnese on the other side of the river. Based on a design by Michelangelo, a bridge across the Tiber was to connect the two Farnese properties.
The villa was later passed on to the Borbone family, and then to the Duke of Ripalta through a long-term lease. It was finally purchased by the Italian government as seat for the Accademia d’Italia. Now the property belongs to the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.
The villa is known for its frescos inspired by classic myths and painted by Peruzzi, Raffael, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Sodoma.
The current entrance is at the rear of the building (the main facade is the one with two lateral avant-corps). The main feature characterizing the construction and decor is the close connection between the gardens and villa, as if each represented an ideal continuation of the other.

Santa Cecilia, music’s patron saint, became martyr here on 230 d. C.. The church, founded before C. V on the place where a Roman house was located, probably Valeriano’s , husband to Santa Cecilia, was redone in obedience to Pope Pasquale I’s will; out of the old construction one saves the apsidal mosaic. During C. XII a porch and a bell-tower were annexed. It was continuously restored ever since C. XVI until C.XIX, respectively by the order of Cardinals Francesco Acquaviva and Giacomo Doria Pamphili. The eighteen-century façade is by Fuga and it is preceded by a porch that treasures the antique columns made of pink granite and African marble. Not to miss out, inside the nearby convent, the fresco "Il Giudizio universale" by Pietro Cavallini, dated C. XIII.

It is piazza with a dual personality: tranquil by day with its sparkling fifteenth century fountain, said to be the work of Bramante, seventeenth century Palazzo San Callisto and glittering gold mosaics of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, while in the evening it is transformed into a lively meeting place for night-lifers, with the restaurants and bars’ tables overrunning the paving and all and sundry soaking up the atmosphere on the steps of the fountain.
This piazza, unquestionably constituting the core of the district, frequently serves as the venue for markets of all kinds as well as musical and cultural events.

Nestled in a quiet corner of Trastevere's focal square, this is said to be the oldest church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome. In its original form, it dates to the early 3rd century, but a major 12th-century makeover saw the addition of a Romanesque bell tower and a glittering facade. The portico came later, added by Carlo Fontana in 1702. Inside, the 12th-century mosaics are the headline feature.
In the apse, look out for Christ and his mother flanked by various saints and, on the far left, Pope Innocent II holding a model of the church. Beneath this are six mosaics by Pietro Cavallini illustrating the life of the Virgin (c 1291).
According to legend, the church stands on the spot where a fountain of oil miraculously sprang from the ground in 32 BC. It incorporates 24 ancient Roman columns, some plundered from the Terme di Caracalla, and boasts a 17th-century wooden ceiling.

is located in the former monastery of Sant'Egidio, where the barefoot Carmelite monks lived until the fall of Rome. After it was restored, in 1976, the building became home to the Museum of Folklore and Roman poets, where materials on popular Roman traditions from the Museum of Rome and the Gabinetto Comunale delle Stampe were stored.
In 2000, it was reopened to the public with the name of the Museum of Rome in Trastevere. The new renovations allow for a use of the building that is much more responsive to the current needs of the museum, lending itself particularly to the organization of temporary exhibitions especially of photography, performances, conferences and concerts.
The museum's permanent collection shows the most important aspects of popular Roman life from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, filtered through the tastes and beliefs of the artists and folklorists who represented it. The main themes in the collection are fashion, popular dances, secular and religious festivals, and crafts.

S. DOROTEA The church was mentioned for the first timeduring the beginning of C.the XII centuryin a notification called San Silvestro, made by Callisto II. In1445 the name of S. Dorotea was added since the martyr was buried inside the church. Restored for the Jubilee of 1475 by Sisto IV, it was given to the PadriMinori Conventuali who decided to restore it once again. The job was given to Gian Battista Nolli who terminated it in 1756. The concave facade has tall couples of ionicIoniancolumns and an entryanceportal with a curved gable. The interior has a single nave with six lateralchapels. The base of the main altar, next to the urn with the ashes of the deadsaint, is Gian Battista Nolli’s tomb.

In 1231 this church substituted the chapel of the antique hospice of St Biagio, where St Francis lived during his stay in Rome, in 1219. Inside his cell one can still find the stone pillow and his crucifix. Entirely rebuilt by Cardinal Pallavicini in 1680, the church is full of sculptures. The interior is very simple and is divided into three naves with numerous pilasters. The aisles host three chapels each. In the Altieri chapel there is the dramatic scuplture by Bernini the Blessed Ludovica Albertoni. It also houses a reliquary altar by Bernini as well as a canvas potraing St Francis made conformingly with the tradition of his devout Jacopa de' Settesoli. In the oratory is the tomb of the great painter Giorgio de Chirico.

If, per chance, you should one day be enjoying the splendid panorama from the Gianicolo’s belvedere and suddenly hear a loud canon shot, do not be alarmed … just check your watches because it will be midday!
Since 1847, on the order’s of Pius IX, a special canon fires blanks at noon on the hour. The pope wanted to set a standard time for all the bells of the Church of Rome so that they would chime at the same time.
Since 24th January 1904, the canon has been firing at the top of the Gianicolo from under the statue of Italian Patriot and Hero of Two Worlds Giuseppe Garibaldi and its shot, when the city is little less noisy, may even be heard as far as the Esquilino.
