LAZIO: Castel Sant’Angelo, Roma
When you walk by the lungotevere of Rome in the direction
of the Vatican you will inevitably see Castel Sant'Angelo.
The castle faces the Tiber and it was the residence of
several popes, who also built the walk outside, to help
reaching the Vatican in case of danger. The castle is known
to have been place of imprisonment for many a humanist,
including Giordano Bruno and Benvenuto Cellini.
It was built around 123 AD as a tomb for the emperor
Hadrian and his family, Castel Sant'Angelo has an atypical
destiny in the historical-artistic panorama of the capital.
While all the other monuments of the Roman era are
overwhelmed, reduced to ruins or quarries of bare
materials to be recycled into new, modern buildings, the
Castle - through an uninterrupted series of developments
and transformations that seem to slip into each other
without solution continuity - accompanies the fortunes and
history of Rome for almost two thousand years. From a
funerary monument to a fortified outpost, from an obscure
and terrible prison to a splendid Renaissance residence
that sees Michelangelo as active within its walls, from a
Risorgimento prison to a museum, Castel Sant'Angelo
embodies solemn Roman spaces, massive walls and
sumptuous frescoed rooms. the events of the Eternal City
where past and present appear inextricably linked.
