A very bright and quiet two
bedroom apartment just on
the back of Piazza Navona.
The
apartment is located in the Navona
area. In the Antiquity this
district, bordered by Corso
Vittorio Emanuele II (opened
in the late 19th
century), Corso del
Rinascimento (1936-39) and
Via Zanardelli (1906),
was part of
Campus Martius.
Domitian (AD 81-96) built a
large stadium and an Odeon
where poetry readings and
musical concerts were given.
Except for the outline of
Domitian’s Stadium which is
preserved in the shape of Piazza Navona, no traces of ancient
Rome have
survived here.
The
network of picturesque lanes
and streets between Piazza
Navona and the Tiber recalls the splendour of the Papal area in the heart of Renaissance Rome.
As early of the beginning of
the 16th century
cardinals, ambassadors, papal
officials, whealty bankers
and distinguished courtesans
took up residence here.
Around them intellectual
life flourished:
booksellers, engravers and
miniaturists settled around
the Piazza Navona and
Piazza Pasquino and to
this day there are still
numerous craftsmen to be
found in the area. The
recommended walk passes many
15C and 16C palaces and also
offers many pleasant
surprises to the curious
visitor prepared to turn
into the courtyards off the
main square. The rusticated
facades with their plain
rectangular windows and
somewhat austere pediments
often conceal some fine
Renaissance architecture:
beatiful balconies and
colonnades, cornices with
antique motifs, coats of
arms, walls decorated with
grisaille, frizies
and medallions.
Some of the most important
tourist places in the zone
are the Area Sacra del
Largo Argentina, the
Pantheon and Piazza
di Spagna.
