August in Rome: find out the hidden City wonders
Posted in Exhibitions in Rome and surroundings - July 22nd, 2010
From August 21st to October 23rd 2010 in Rome some archeological monuments will be opened to the public for the first time from their discovering dates. We said in advance, some time ago, that some historical monuments would be night-opened on Saturday between the mentioned dates as Coliseum and Terme di Caracalla. As we said at Terme di Caracalla you should attend to same Lyrics Operas performed by the Opera’s Theatre of Rome. In the same weeks in predeterminated dates you should also visit never-visited part of the Coliseum.
From August 21st new archeological areas will be opened to the public access in Rome: Livia’s House in Palatino and Romolo’s Temple in Foro Romano.
Livia’s House, dated back to the I century b.c., has been found in Napoleonic ages. Thanks to some lead pipings delivering the Iulia Augusta’s name, we can understand that the house was a Augustus wife property. Now the house is below the ground level but it is still preserving his original structure and some wonderful frescos: the tablino central kiosk represent Io, loved by Zeus, rescued from Argo by Mercury. On the kiosk’s left side we can see a fresco representing a window looking at everyday life scenes and finally on the central wall the Nymph Galatea on a see horse flying away from Polifemo. Other wonderful Egyptian and Roman decoration enriched this unbelievable find. (more…)

Terme di Caracalla are the roman summer stage
Posted in Events in Rome - June 11th, 2010
Terme di Caracalla is one of the most imposing thermal compound of the antiquity. Built by Caracalla in 212 a.d., thermal baths worked until 537 a.d. when VItige, Goti’s king, during the Rome’s siege, stopped the aqueduct. The compound have been built in the south outlying area of the City with a 9000 worker employment. They had to level Aventino’s slopes to build a 300 meter side platform. That was the podium of the richest thermal compound of the antiquity. The build was abandoned after Vitige’s siege and became a cemetery.
Since 1500 till today thanks to al lot of excavating campaigns a big part of the original structure is resurfaced. Since 1937 the Caracalla’s area have been the summer center of the Opera House of Rome. From that time the monumental compound offers some incomparable emotions to the players and to their audience. During the firsts years of life of this summer theatre, the stage was near theTepidarium: it measured 1500 square meters with a proscenium of 22 meters. 8000 people could attend to the show. In a second time the theatre stage was moved to a the esedra of the Calidarium and the stalls could give hospitality to more than 22000 people. (more…)
