5. PLACES THAT YOU CAN VISIT
2.1. ROME
Saint Sebastian by Giovanni Bazzi
This painting is called Saint Sebastian, and his painter
is Giovanni Bazzi. It was painted in the 1576. It's
localize at Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The
painting is dimensions are 145 cm high and 204 cm
wide.
The painting was made of oil on canvas. Saint
Sebastian appears in the middle of the picture. He is
tied on a tree with arrows pinned on his body. And at
the top there is an angel that comes to hep the martyr.
This picture isn't realist, the style is Renaissance.
This painting is very religious. It explains the life of Saint Sebastian martyr. I
don't like paintings but I like this because the main character is Saint
Sebastian, patron saint of Súria.
The Catacombs
The Catacombs in Rome are ancient burial places
They began in the 2nd century AD and used then to
bury Christian's dead. They are very deep and have
very important arts like frescos, sculptures and
many gratifies dedicated to different saints.
The Catacombs of St Sebastian is one of the
smallest Christian cemeteries. In the 13th century a
basilica was built upon it. These there are the
remains of saint Sebastian.

6. The pantheon
Pantheon means “the temple of all Gods” in Greek, so it's devoted to the Gods
of ancient Rome. It is still preserved and was built in 27 AD by Agrippa. In 80
AD, a fire destroyed it. It was rebuilt, but 30 years later there was another
fire. Finally it was rebuilt and preserved for
today. The Romans there rebuilt this under
emperor Hadrian. The text in the façade, is in
honour to the Architect Marcus Agrippa. It
became a church devoted to St. Mary the
martyr. Inside the pantheon, a hole in the roof
(oculus) to let the light into the building and
to let out scared mole, it rain both inside and
outside. It is a mausoleum because they buried here the Royal Family and
Renaissance artist. This monument it locates in Piazza de la Rotonda of Rome.
Trevi Fountain
It's one of the most popular tourist attraction of Rome. It's 26,3 metres high
and 49,51 metres wide. It was built from
1732 to 1762 by Nicola Salvi and Pietro
Bracci. The design of this fountain is based
on three architectural elements: a façade
made of travertine; statues of carrara
marble; a see reef also made of travertine.
Behind the is the Polazzo Poli, it's a palace.
It was built in Barroque period, for this reason, it's a Barroque fountain. This
style consist to use exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail.
The purpose to build this fountain is centuries ago, in roman period, there was
a tradition that consist to build a fountain at the end of aqueducts. This
fountain symbolizes the sea, where Neptune appeared with other elements
who represent the sea. It's the largest fountain in the city and one of the most
famous in the world. In my opinion, it's a beautiful fountain. I wish to visit this
when we go to Italy in June.
