PLACES THAT YOU CAN VISIT

2.1. ROMESaint 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.

Saint Sebastian Catacombs

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.
