Palazzo Farnese, as designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, is still one of Rome’s most impressive palaces. It was built in a time where there were several guidelines established for Renaissance architecture, which show in the way the palace was designed. The façade is perfectly symmetrical and several elements in the plan are symmetrical as well. The palace has three levels, which was characteristic for Renaissance palaces. Unlike earlier Renaissance palaces, all levels have the same height in the Farnese palace.
There is a great amount of rhythm in the façade, as all the, finely detailed, windows are aligned for the three floors, with an exception made for the central axis, where the entrance and the balcony on the piano nobile are

The Cardinal’s room, the most important room in the building, is located on the corner of the first floor, where the Cardinal had the view over entire square as well. The building is surmounted with a big cornice, of a size that emphasizes the power the building expresses. The quoins on the side show an ending to the building, which in combination with the cornice form a sort of frame, there can be no mistake made about the independence of the building. The pilasters on the outside are of Ionian order on the first floor, and Corinthian order on the top floor. Around the courtyard, the same orders were used, but with an added Tuscan order for the elements on the ground floor.
From the outside, as seen from the piazza Farnese, you can definitely call the Palazzo Farnese a true urban palace. It has an appearance of power, which was established by the fact the Pope used to inhabit the palace. The position of the building, with the big square in front of it and no other buildings of a similar size besides it, only confirms the status of urban palace. Although it does not have a perfectly symmetrical interior, the majestic exterior makes sure nobody underestimates the power of the
The Second Empire architecture that inspired this building reflects the popularity of the French designs during the reign of Napoleon III. As one beholds the exterior of the courthouse from top to bottom, it displays the distinctly cut angles of native limestone along with the craftsmanship of ornamental features. The building soars upward three stories, where it is topped with a clock and bell tower,
The building is four stories high made of brick, tile, and concrete. The east façade also has Classical features such as a frieze, dentils, cornice, raking cornice, entablature and an architrave. The front of the façade was adorned with floral coffers, corbels, as well as post and lintels (Photo 2).
Work began on the stone convento, or priest’s residence, by 1727. Replacing earlier adobe structures, the two-story, arcaded stone building eventually included two wings along the west and south edges of an inner courtyard, immediately north of the church. The convento, now known as the long barracks, also served to house the friars, offices, kitchens, dining room, and guest rooms.

What I would like to point out especially is its capital. The building has capitals with two volutes, which was very common in the Ionic order. Each column consists of the capital, shaft, and base, which is analogous to the basic form of the Ionic order.

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as
In the Romano Pitesti case, Tickton-Jones’ Management Team is faced with a situation that is not altogether uncommon in the business world, in that some employees feel that members of the Sales staff are being given “special” treatment by the company. Romano’s actions have probably not been as bad as what has been described to Management, but due to the fact that employees are still trying to find their place in the new, combined company, any hint of “unfairness” is immediately put under a microscope by other employees, and therefore, Management will have to take some sort of action, in order to show the other employees that their concerns are being taken seriously.
His many works include the “Palazzo di Parte Guelfa,” the “Rotonda degli Angeli,” and the “Ponte a Mare at Pisa.” There is however some debate to whether Brunelleschi was responsible for the original designs for the Pitti Palace. After his death he was buried in Santa Maria del Fiore. However, his tomb was not discovered until 1972 (Lombroso 5).
The interior of the bank is far more ornate than the exterior. One of the features of the banking chamber is the appealing cast iron columns and decorated trusses. The cast iron columns and scallop brackets are locally made in a Carlton foundry. Each column capitals was designed differently with wrought copper flowers, foliage or vegetatbles. The cast iron metal trusses were painted and decorated to relate harmoniously to the colomns’ colouring. The practice of combining structural elements and decorations were accomplished in the Gothic idiom.
The Palazzo della Signoria and the Doge’s Palace both were used for political purposes. The Palazzo della Signoria has a tall layout to it. It has a tower on the top of the building with statues around the front of it. “The pro-papal group commissioned a large structure to house their governing council and to serve as the symbol of the political independence of the city” (Davies et al.). The Doge’s Palace is longer more than it is tall. There is more attention to the center window of the building with its statues on that piece only. The intricate design of the exterior is much more detailed on this building. This building was used as a meeting place for the Great Council. “As well as being the home of the Doge (the elected ruler of Venice)

Historical buildings play an important role in describing the social and cultural beliefs and values of a place of its establishment.

Raphael was one of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance. Raphael painted and designed many brilliant pieces of work and the stanzas inside the Vatican. He was a master at such necessities of modern art such as depth and perspective and the use of light and shadow, and was the turning point styles of paintings like the use of Madonnas in paintings. Through his short life, Raphael would make some of the most awe-inspiring, beautiful, and influential works of art during the Italian Renaissance.
Il Grande Sogno, otherwise known as the big dream, is a complex story of love. It just happens to be during a time of political turmoil, when the student protests in the 1960s were happening. In 1968 many students led occupations occurred in the University of Rome. In similar fashion, the movement raised in several Eastern Bloc countries following World War II. The goals of the student movement were that of social reform; such as anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-racism, civil and political rights, environmentalism, feminism, and liberalization. To put this in another way, the student movement was an embrace of the New Left wing political party. On March 1, 1968, the right-wing and left-wing students stood together at Rome University.
